Just got 2004 FZ6

[angelko]

Hi all from Portland, Oregon. Just got a silver/black 2004 FZ6. Frame sliders (front and back) are in the mail and should be arriving soon.

My 3-deay rider training was this weekend with Team Oregon. Excellent instruction:
TEAM OREGON Motorcycle Training

It rained today in Portland. The rest of the week should be dry.

Good choice. I've got the same bike. How many miles, and if you don't mind, what did you pay?

About 8.9k miles, paid $3.8k.

Previous owner is a very nice guy. Schedule permitting, we'll get together for a lunch one of these days.

Here's the bike, after the first night of riding:

A beautiful bike, love that gunmetal gray color.

Welcome aboard!

As do I. If the '07s had come in that color, it would have been in my garage. however, the red ones are still the fastest.

 

[jfreakman]

it also seems as if your previous owner forgot to remove a few stickers...

 

[angelko]

Aye, i'll remove the blue iiShift stickers when I find appropriate black flames. Can't remmeber where I saw them, but i think it was on a newer model with black chasis and engine.

stikers?

I still have all mine. Lol I need to get those suckers off.

 

[Ironhide]

Nice, almost bought same year/color for $4k.

Ah my friend a stunning choice. This is by far the choice of the more sophisticated careful rider who will cherish his new ride and keep it in prestine condition. LOL

MCN did a test recently, from memory I think it was about 12.3s topping out at 113mph. :Sport:

shed the stickers...

Maybe it's just me but getting rid of the stickers, especialy the tank sticker made a huge improvement in the overall appearance of the bike. A naked bike cluttered with stickers seems to defeat the purpose...but , that's just me!

Just ran across this thread.... fellow portlander here with same 04 FZ6 in the same color. I've put a little over a 1K on it in the last month commuting to work out in Beaverton and back.

 

[H8 PVMT]

And yet another PDX guy here....well I'm in the Couve but may as well be Portland.
Ya'll llike the weather the last week or so? I've been loving it. I'll be sure to wave as I see you guys riding aroud, we'll have to hook up for a ride come next spring.
