New member welcome thread..

Just got a Blue 06 FZ6 1616 miles when I took it home. 2nd bike had a Ninja 500 for the last almost 5 years. I think one of my best friends is gonna take off my hands, so a built in riding buddy:rockon:. Should be able to double the mileage this year. plans for the rest of the week include hacking off rear fender.

Hey just thought I would introduce myself. My name is Phill and im from East Lansing, MI. I just bought a brand new '09 FZ6 about a month ago.

She is pretty dirty lol. I just washed her a couple days ago but shes already covered in bugs.

It didnt even have the 5 miles that the dealer is supposed to put on new bikes. Even though it was a leftover, I couldnt get the dealer to go down at all in price so I didnt really get that great of a deal on her (but it doesnt really matter). This bike was a replacement for my 2001 ZX6R, which I traded in to buy the FZ. I will admit, I wasnt actually planning on buying an FZ6 originally, but I decided that the FZ is a great all around bike and am very happy with my choice. Ive already done a few quick mods-

Painted the windscreen (from the inside)
Added a Ram GPS mount for my Nuvi

Added a 12 volt plug- I actually had this on my ZX6R but I modified it to use the SAE plug from the battery tender pigtail. I used to have it hooked up directly to the battery and an inline fuse on the old Ninja.

Also, If anyone else uses a Garmin, check out the Garmin website. You can download vehicles and one of them looks just like an FZ6! I took a pic so you can see.

I already have 1900 miles on this bike and im really happy. It is seriously an under-rated motorcycle!

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and I am planning on replacing my current bike ('82 KZ 440) with an '07 FZ6 with roughly 5,000 mi for $4000. I can't wait to get the bike!
 
Hey everyone
I'm Andrew and I've been lurking for a few weeks and I've decided to introduce myself lol
I currently own a blue 09 fz6 Which I love to death. I bought her brand new out of the crate with less than a mile on it. I've owned 2 bikes before but this is. Definitely my favorite!!

Hi all,

I'm Tim. I've been lurking for quite a while, and finally decided to sign up. I've got a black 2008 FZ6, and I love it. It's my second bike; I rode a 1985 Suzuki GS450L for several years, and stepped up to the FZ this spring. The FZ is like a rocket compared to the old GS! I'm still learning the bike's quirks (grabby clutch), and I love it more with each ride.

See you 'round the intertubes.:Sport:

Hi, my name is Marcin. I live in Fairfield county, CT.

I just go 2008 black FZ6 few days ago. Before, for w while I was riding 250R that now my wife will be riding on :)

From my short ride so far I noticed that FZ6 is much heavier bike (it was a pain to put it on and off the truck), but more stable once it's rolling.
 
I'm from sunny Dunfermline in Scotland and new to the Forum. Not new to Yamaha's having had 2x FZS600's (MkI & MKII), 3 x FZS1000's and I currently own a FZ1 Fazer.
I have just bought my first '09 FZ6 S2 to use as my "commuting bike" so looking forward to trawling around to find the best mods....starting with a new screen.
 
Hi everyone,

Current 1996 Suzuki GSF600N rider (listens for the "boo hiss" of the crowd) here, contemplating a switch to a 2009 Yamaha FZ6 S2 ABS.

Absolutely loved the 2007 FZ6 S2 ABS I did my certification on, but as with so many other things in life it was a bit too rich for my taste two years ago.

Got the '96 Bandit two years ago and have been riding it since, getting comfortable with some basic riding concepts and growing more confident in my abilities as a rider, I feel the time has come to make the switch. Fortunately, the financing is also a lot easier now, so I'll be buying my first leathers at the same time too.

Nice to see there is a whole dedicated community to the fizzers; I look forward to delving in head first.

Hi Im BRO

I treat cancer in Cairns and love my recently acquired FZ6N. While my job can be sad and awful at times, its jumping on the bike at the end of the day that makes the world just seem perfect.

Looking forward to posting as much as I can and loving this bike.
