I've been lucky to have an understanding wife. ;) Truth is, I'm slightly compulsive and fickle about buying new motorcycles. Like a fish, I get distracted by new shiny things. There are a few bikes on the list that I really shouldn't have sold.

I don't ride an FZ6 anymore, but I'm considering buying another one. The truth is that I have waffled quite a bit about what to buy. I'm sorta torn between... Yamaha FZ6 Ducati Monster 969 Ducati Monster 965 Suzuki SV650 Suzuki GSX650F I have even given limited consideration to the BMW...

Do the '08 models still require a throttle body adjustment during the first service? I used to have an FZ6 a couple years ago. I did quite a bit of touring on it. During one of my long trips, the throttle became real wacky. It was because I had neglected to have the throttle bodys synched as...
