Hi there , hay there ,ho there...I'am a senior citizen from Likely BC. I have had about 35 scooters, give or take a few , in my life time...but my 2009 FZ6is the most fun bike I have ever owned....My name is Daryl, but most people call me papa smurf or *******...this winter I will strip this new puppy down and rework the power plant.... also cosmetics...Hmmmm the blue ones are the fastest, red ones are a bit slower, so where is my black one standing...just curious....? I'am an aircraft mech. ( M2 ) but presently working as a millwright at a local gold mine. Love the outdoors as much as my new fazer.I'am fun loveing and thrive on adrenalin rushes...clutching wheelies at 80 k is a turn on ...dam ....it keeps me in shape and massages the prostate...it's a win/win situation . yamaha or whatever chatting would be cool........Take care all.......Daryl....:spank:

Hi
Pretty new Fz6 owner, this is my second bike, first bike was a GS250, kindly donated by my friend.
Picked up my 2005 about 2 months ago, have enjoyed it so far, still learning a ton about it via this forum.
Got a bit of the mod bug, replaced the windscreen, scorpion pipes, fender eliminator etc.

Safe riding

Hi all,
Wanted to say hi as a new member from the UK.
Currently fazer-less but soon hope to find a FZ6 to sit along side my RVF400 which is being put into semi-retirement due to the fact that my back and wrists cant take much more punishment.
The soon to be wife is also taking an interest in riding pillion, so need to get something more sensible with a bit more grunt 2-up! :thumbup:
Hope to pick all your brains about buying, riding and looking after a fazer in the coming weeks, months....years...?
Cheers
Paul

Hi there!!
Just joined up after having accidentally found this site in searching for answers to a disturbing vibration problem. I fixed the problem after doing a few checks on things. Needless to say I will not overfill the oil again!! What a huge difference! I don't think my Effie has ever been so smooth.
My ride is a stock '05 that I have had since 2007. I got it used with ONLY 1,270 km for about $2,200 CDN off the new sticker price. Well by the end of 2007 she had 12,000 kms and now I've rolled 24,000km under my arse.
She's my second - divorced my first love, an 2003 GS500, to move up to something with more highway legs but would still be comfortable. The FZ6 is working out just fine...
I've only been riding since 2004 - starting at the ripe young age of 38 (yes, years) with no regrets for starting that late at all. I think if I had of started riding when I was in my 20's, say, I don't think I would have made it this far. With age comes fear hahaha. Don't get me wrong - I still like wearing off those stubborn chicken strips and have been known to scrape a peg once in a while. Yum!
When not riding I do work as an engineer, oddly enough sometimes designing roadways, as well as other land development facilities. We (my wife Kay and I) live in Edmonton and have 2 cats (Kay loves the Admin's avatar!!) Luka and my boy, Zuki, named after my GS.
Enough for now. I'll be checking back!! Thanks for being here.
Glad you found the site, it really is a great place to learn, discuss and share.
Hey, I'm Patrick. 24-year-old from Tulsa, OK. Just purchased my 2007 FZ6 2 days ago.
My first motorcycle, just learned how to ride 2 weeks ago. Always wanted one, just now got around to having the time and money to be able to. It's a wonderful bike and I've gotten comforatble with incredibly quickly.
Just saw that it's been discontinued for 2010. I admit, I was one of those plastic-ogling types until I realized the insurance difference and I started looking around. The FZ6 came out on top in my research and I somehow got lucky enough to find one for sale around here for an incredible deal. I don't know why they don't sell better, but I am very pleased with my purchase.
The discontinuation and rarity of my bike has changed my view from "learn and sell" to "mint and keep."
I look forward to being a part of this community.
Great attitude with regards to the mint and keep. Enjoy and ride safe.
