I did 13krpm 1st time

[Yasko]

I took my bike out for a little night ride, because it's 60f and no wind, and very few cars on the road. I had open road, so I gave her some gas, and I didn't stop when I hit 8krpm.:spank: I just let her go, and when she hit 10k, 13k came in a flash. I knew the bike was fast, but Dannnnng she's very fast.:cheer:
It's very kool to know that I have a sleeping monster under me.:thumbup:

Another thing I love about the FZ6. It can be a very tame bike for your every day use, but you can also rev it up to monster mode! It definitely has a double personality.

its a nice sensation yeah doing it for the first time. i rememeber the first time i hit the rev limiter. i said what s wrong with the bike? it stopped accelarating, then i looked at the tacho and saw it pinned on 15! i backed up and business as usual.

I bet its scary on corners though :O

My inexperience shining through

Does the back end not 'waggle' as you hit the Pband?

Not if you do it smoothly and it means you can really power out of the bend. I usually drop down a gear to get the rev's a little over 8k and roll on the throttle smoothly through the corner.

Get your hands on a copy of twist of the wrist II, great video. Below is the part about cornering.

The fz6 just don't have enough power to really spin the tire on accident. You can hammer into any way you want but with a 180 it just grips! In the dry on warm tires that is.
Talking about turning 13k though, about a month ago or when ever I had a chance to ride it before putting it back in the shop, I can't remember how fast I was going but I slammed it into 1st way sooner than I should of and it honestly sounded like a f1 car got sucked into a jet! It had to be turning at least 17k!

Blu...cheers for the video, I'm 50 minutes in and massively impressed with the info on there....

No back end waggle on mine. Metezler Z8's on my bike.:thumbup:

It's just a crazy rush from 9k to 14k.:cheer:

I'll never forget the first time I rung it out to redline.

Dropped two gears instead of one due to a hump on the road I didnt see, back wheel locked up and I drifted in to the corner, the guys behind me thought I was epic....they would have changed their minds pretty quickly if they knew the state my leather trousers were in when I got home

I have still not had mine much over 8000rpm, definitely not over 11000rpm!

What are you guys doing, that you need to ring it's neck so hard?

The surge at 8000rpm put a smile on my face, every time!

LOL

Cheers,
Rick

I was the same way. If you think the 8k makes you smile, 13k makes your fase look like the Joker.

Yasko, put some carbon fiber cans on her and the sound alone will give you a special feeling... :BLAA:

Clearly, you don't like the occasional plate of calamari... :Sport:

Like this.

You're so right.:rockon:

I must be an idiot because the first thing I did when I got my Fz6 is redline that beotch. Then I redlined it in first (67) and second (86). Then I redlined it in first, second and third (105). "I live my life a quarter mile at a time." Well I live my life for the protection of an on-ramp to lay into the throttle for a quarter mile like the cookie monster lay into a cookie tray at a bakery. Nom Nom Nom.

I did it again on the Fz1 and well that got me into trouble.

Be safe, have fun and if you broke it, well you already bought it.
