Motorcycle Noooooooooooob
Hello there!
I just picked up my first bike, a 2007 red FZ6. I love it so far, although I haven't had MUCH experience with it yet as I still need to license and insure it. Also being such a beginner I don't want to ride it too much until I have frame sliders and stuff. Not that I plan on laying it down, but who ever does? I know some people think it's a big much for a beginner's bike and I was one of them at first. But it was used and the price was right and I couldn't resist...so I'm just going to have to be super careful. The small friction zone was a huge turn off at first, but then I got used to it. I've had it up to a whopping 6,000 RPM MAYBE so there's plenty to be discovered.
There was a new 2009 they're listing at a local place for 5,499 so I thought offering $6000 OTD was perfectly reasonable. But dealers are douchebags (something I've realized even more over the past two months) and apparently that wasn't enough for their salesman's mortgage fee, salesman's grandkids college tuition fee, etc...
Mine has 6,400 miles on it. It's in good shape I think, I have no reason to think it was abused although I'm pretty anal about cleanliness so I'm gonna have to clean it to my standards at which point I'll get some pictures up.
I also own a 2001 Mustang Bullitt which is my pride and joy and in the interest of full disclosure, if one ever had to go outside it would be the bike.
Luckily they both fit (very) tightly in a one car garage.
I'm thinking about "debadging" but a search of the forum turned up no results. Anybody have an opinion?
