Gettin' Fizzy wit it
Hey all, just wanted to introduce myself and share my story.
I've been lurking around and browsing these forums since about Mid-May. I knew I'd be in the market to buy a new bike come Aug or Sept, but had no idea what to get. I rode a Honda Rebel 250 from age 14-16 and a Suzuki Savage 650 from 16-19. I'm 23 now, recently graduated college, and now it's time for a real bike!
I've been pretty much doing research all the time so far this summer, and knew I wanted a sportbike, but not your typical R6/Gixxer/CBR/Ninja supersport model. I wanted something different, something I could call my own. I began to start looking at the Naked bikes like the Ducati's, Aprilia, Triumph, TMK, Buell, etc. but a lot of them were A.) out of my price range or B.) out of my price range.
I talked to one of my best friends from college who races in WERA & AMA and he steered me over towards some of the Big 4 semi-naked bikes. (Why does Europe get all the cool bikes!)
I narrowed down to a shortlist of the SV650, Ninja 650R, and of course the Fizzer.
After looking around for a couple months, reading reviews, checking out forums, etc. I am 100% sold on the FZ6!! I love the passion you guys have about the bike. Especially you dedicated streetfighter-ers.
After I do get the bike, I'm going 100% naked, 100% streetfighter, I want it to be MY bike, and I want it to look scary! :rockon: (wavex that's your bike)
So yes, howdy from Oklahoma, and thanks for being informative without me having to ask!!
