If you could Trade up at no expense, would you?

[Kenward]

Personally, I would love either an 06-08 R1

or a Benelli Cafe Racer

A car dealership in Scottsdale has had the same one for a couple years, and I was seriously considering buying it. haha

If I could've trade my FZ in for this bike, it would be done in 2 sec. :drool::bow:

As a matter of fact, I have been thinking about buying one of these for a while :spank:
I guess I'll have to talk to the lady and see what she thinks.... Perhaps I should go for the 2-seater "Conlatusa", so she can ride along :cheer::rockon:

Grtz,

I see nothing in the Yamaha corral that turns me, (but I have not ridden an F1 yet either). Though I was slightly disappointed riding Busa's, they were comfortable, just not orgasmic.
I've ridden about everything that Kaw makes and I doubt I would go there.
I could never afford parts or labor on Ducatis.
Triumph? No opinion.
Honda? Had six and nephew has had touble out the butt with his.
BMW? Don't like 'em.
Harleys? Not even a consideration - EVER!
My opinion, thanks for asking.

In the real world you can pick up lightly used FZ1s for a song. The performance will amaze you! I got my '06 a year ago for about $4,000. The bike is so much fun to ride.

Ducat Diavel carbon for me please

 

[turbid]

given the option to change i would pick the mv brutale (even though maintenance wise would be way too costy compared to the fz)

then as second option ( not trading my fz just have them alongside it)

the mt 01 i like its looks
yamaha bulldog again for looks

I am slowly starting to aquire the bikes i lust after, In the middle of restoring a trashed TRX850 to full OEM spec, next on my list is an FZ750, then maybe a Gen1 FZ1???

I reckon i will keep on the restoration & customization gig, that way i end up with a very nicely sorted version of each bike i desire.

:thumbup:

If money was no object almost anyone would have something different. I think for fz6 owners especially money is definitely an issue and the fazer is our compromise. Value-wise its a great bike and at its respective price point its one of the best options.

There are some very nice alternatives in this thread though :drool:

The last couple of days I have started to get a hard-on for an MT-01, so I'm thinking of taking one for a test ride just for sh1ts and giggles. Looks so manly, so much torque, great low end power, and who gives a darn about top end speed.

Ducati 848 still on the list, as is the Ducati Diavel... Triumph 675, but it'd need lowered suspension (hence why I wouldn't buy an R). Alternately, I saw a turbo charged, 2 wheel drive r6 on the net the other day - that sh1te is too deadly...

I had an MT-01 in my shed today....re-attaching a footpeg that had vibrated loose...like everything else does on the bike!!

It is a massive bike, and HEEEEEAVY! The guy who rides it aint no jockey either....rather imposing shape coming down the road....

:thumbup:

Well... I'm like 168cm tall... Not what anyone would call an imposing form. But yeah, with over 150Nm of torque, I wouldn't have been surprised if it vibrated off at idle!

Also :whimper::lust:

You always know when your near an MT-01 on the road, you feel it! Even if you might not hear it!

So that quake up here a few weeks ago? Prolly just a few boys out at the drags on their MT-01s.

Have you ever ridden one? And I know you'll like your fizzer better, but if so, thoughts?

Going to sleep btw

Ihave ridden one once, it is very different, that torque dictates a lot, compression lock up's on down changes, huge crank, and piston inertia, etc...it's a truck basically!

Would it be allright if I wanted to trade for this car? 1977 Pontiac Trans Am by Pinkee’s Rod Shop

MT-01 isn't available in the US. Grr. All we get is the VMAX It has a heavier frame and is shaft driven. Meh, I don't know. It might be alright. I'd still want a sportbike though.

 

[Botch]

If I could do it at no cost, I'd trade up to that $60K Ducati thing, sell it for cash, buy my FZ-6 back, plus a BMW 1200GS, Street Triple, a Bonneville, and spend the rest on bulk ribeye steaks. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

 

[rino60]

A guy that I train with has a Ducati that cost like $65k factory, and a specced R1 that cost more than the Ducati - it has like $35k of suspension in front end alone
