I have had the FZ for a year and a half, it is my first bike. It's a great bike, enough power for a novice rider (like me) and I wouldn't consider selling except for the lack of an adjustable suspension. (I'm 6'2'' 265lbs) A few friends of mine who are experienced riders say I would benfit from an adjustable suspension and a V-Twin or 3 cylinder. They also ride European bikes. So the question is do I spend the money on R6 forks + Ohlins rear set-up or get another bike? The 4 bikes that have caught my eye are the KTM Super Duke 990, Triumph Speed Triple, Triumph Street Triple R and the Honda CB1000R. I am leaning more towards the KTM but having never ridden any of those bikes I can't say for sure.
I usually ride during nice weather and in the middle of the day during the week. I don't have a long commute when I do ride to work and I never take long trips. I mostly ride on back roads with lots of turns. Having a bike is purely for entertainment. Also, my wife is pregnant and expecting our first child in March so if I get another bike I'd like to do it before then while I have the money.
I might have someone who wants to buy my Fz6 and I wouldn't accept below a certain price.
List of mods are:
Hyperpro springs front and rear and 15wt oil
Venhill brake lines and Motul fluid
Michelin PR3's
Naked conversion via the Aztec8 7" round headlight
FZ1 bars
Adjustable levers
FZ8 mirrors
Motodynamic LED taillight
Watsen Design LED indicators.
I know this being an FZ forum what most of you will say, but I'd appreciate any opinions, especially from more experienced riders.
