Hey Forum!
Still an FZ6 owner wannabe. I have not sold my VS800 Intruder yet, but it will happen... You all have answered many questions as I research the bike & this incredible site, so I want to thank you for the plethora of information. I already know so much about this awesome bike, and yet, I don't own one yet! AHHHH! It's killing me!
To me, you really need to use the bike on a semi-regular basis or bad things can happen over time with no use. (Specifically the fuel lines/injectors, etc. Do you have other thoughts?) I'd like to ask you guys if you thought this would be a concern to you as a potential buyer. Here it is: I have seen a few 2006-2007 FZ6's for sale with EXTREMELY low miles. I'm talking under 2,000 miles on a 5 to 6 year old motorcycle. Would you be concerned that the fuel lines or injectors would be too gummed up for it to be reliable?
I guess I'm not so concerned with the higher milage bikes, like 10K to 20K or so. I mean, to me, that says the bike gets used regularly & should be in decent shape. But unless I hear otherwise from the guru's, I'm somewhat hesitant to get serious about a 6YO bike with under 2,000 miles. Your thoughts? Thanks in advance, you guys ROCK!
