So hello guys!
The name is Alexx, I am 22 years old. I been working two jobs and saving my ass off. I have saved a total of $4500 cash money. I got an insurance quote from my insurance company with a very affordable rate for full coverage for a 2009 FZ6.
My plan is to go to yamaha drop $4000 as a down payment (over half their asking price) and get them to do in-house financing for the rest of the cost through HSBC. I know you guys will probably say to stay away from HSBC and give me some horror stories and tell me to go through a credit union instead. I am not going to do that though. I work with a guy who has bought 4 bikes through HSBC and he has never had a single issue and couldnt be happier, and so will I. I am gonna buy a Joe Rocket helmet to go with my new bike and get myself some payments of $300 a month or so. I am then going to pay $800 a month instead in order to pay it off long before a year is up. So by Christmas I should have this bad boy payed off. Then I will have me a nice bike and loads of spending money .
I am not new to bikes either although this will be my first bike that I actually own and pay for. I have been riding bikes my whole life, I got a motorcycle endorsement on my license, and have toured hundreds of miles with my father and brother on a honda 600.
Just thought I would introduce myself and tell you guys my little plan. I am so excited its unreal. I been working so long and so hard for this bike that it is going to be like christmas morning when I actually get it.
So I know this is an FZ6 forum so what do you guys really love about this bike? For me its the fact that the bike itself looks absolutely sexy, its got comparable performance to an R6 (my origional choice for a first bike) and from the looks of it you can ride long distances without your back killing you.
For me this bike will be a commuter to and from work, and a weekend toy to tour around a little bit. Its so great that I am going to get it soon just in time for summer too. I have a feeling that I will not be able to tear myself away from this bike!!
Also I want to get a black one.
