[Discofrank]

as per http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-general-discussion/30430-anyone-had-chain-snap-break-them.html

my bike has been declared a write off

hopefully since it was repaired at the year to as new and looked awesome
i should get some decent $ back


so now i need to find a new bike
and as much as i loved the fz6 i think it is time for a change

not sure what to get a 749 would be ideal but with my previous dealings with 1 and a tree i dont think so

so come on ppls give me your ideas

What kind of riding? If you're thinking v-twin, an Aprilia Shiver could be fun. Done a few hundred kms on one recently, including a sting Sunday, and quite like it.

Speed/Street Triple? My two favourite bikes

 

[Ridgeback]

Street Triple :thumbup:

 

[kellybt1052]

I went with a Triumph Daytona 675 for my second bike, was looking for a track bike. Rode the Street Triple R at that time as well and if I was looking for replacement that would have been it for me!!!

Wait till August & by an FZ8.

On 2nd thoughts, if it was my 6 that died & wanted another naked, id be getting a Speed Triple.

 

[Wolfman]

FZ1! From what Mikey Says....they are awesome in the Twisties!

:rockon:

 

[Kriswithak]

Speed Triple or a Daytona 675 for sure, I'd probably go for one of those Orange Speed Triples in your situation, they are damn sexy.

 

[Norbert]

This time, get something with a shaft drive man!!!

Seriously, sucks to hear about your bike.

I'll second that!

 

[GConn]

Well, you need to decide your budget and which style you'd rather have for starters The options are endless.

I'd avoid a Ducati if it's going to be used daily.

 

[Kriswithak]

Its always funny when no one has any idea what an FZ6 is, yet everyones heard of the good ole FZ1.
Even the old guys my Dad knows who won't even look at a Jap bike will mention them from time to time.

New Ducati Monster 796
Honda NT700V
Kawasaki Versys
Suzuki TU250X

if it were up to me, and if my price range were around the 8k mark, i would put in a little extra coin and get a triumph sprint ST, maybe a used one. same concept as FZ as a very sporty sport tourer...but with added size, comfort, and juice.

 

[racing_fan]

BMW F800ST ... its going to be my next bike...when circumstances (read: wife :BLAA: ) allow....

 

[Chris]

What type of bike do you want? Supersport/-bike, naked, touring, dual sport? Engine size? Price?

Off the top of my head:

-600-750 range:
>Supersports: Kawasaki ZX6-R 2009+, Honda CBR 600 RR 2008+, Suzuki GSX-R 750 2008+
>Naked: Triumph Street Triple R

-800-1200 range:
>Superbikes: Ducati 848, Ducati 1198, BMW S1000RR, Aprilia RSV4
>Nakeds: Ducati Streetfighter, Triumph Speed Triple

Good luck finding a new bike

 

[GConn]

Naked = Benelli cafe racer....period

 

[x47b3207]

Enviable position, looking for a new bike. You need to buy what fits your style and budget. If it were for me I would...

+1 on the KTM Super Duke. I'd love to try one out:thumbup:.
