Hi riders!

My name is Phillip and I just bought an FZ6R. It occurred to me one day that riding will be really fun. I just got the bug and couldn't shake it! This is my first bike and I'm scheduled to take the MSF next week.

My research online has shown many mixed opinions about whether the FZ6R is a good first bike. My take away is that its a good first bike if you're responsible, safe, and don't mind your fairings possibly getting ****ed up.

Staying safe is my main priority. I've purchased full perforated leather gear with body armor, helmet, gloves, and boots and plan to always wear protection. Per a friend's recommendation I also got a headlight modulator and the taillight blinker... and frame sliders of course. There is a dude named Moto Mike up here in SF who teaches city riding lessons and I'm gonna go learn from him as well after the MSF.

I look forward to the wealth of knowledge I'll gain from all of you more experienced riders on this forum, and welcome any recommendations.

Cheers!

Welcome to FZ6 family. FZ6 is like Swiss knife you can do many things with them, but it would be too fast bike for my first rides. You will really enjoy rides when you are comfortable with handling of your bike.
Cheers,
Mark
