More info on the bike...
Always garaged. New tires put on about 2000 miles ago. Pirelli Corsa III on the front, Conti Sport Attack on the rear. I wanted a Pirelli Strada on the rear, but it wasn't in stock at the time...
2007 blue FZ6 with 5685 miles--asking $4500. Never down, never raced. Bike is stock except for sliders and black windscreen and black paint on the stock cans. I'm about to update the inspection sticker and registration. I'm in the Austin, TX area. Clear blue TX title in hand.
Makanouchi should be getting this later today. If not, Wildcard is next.
I ended keeping the FZ6 after I got the Blackbird. I sold the Blackbird a few months ago and now the FZ6 will (really) go.
SOLD-Power Commander III
Bike is going, so I'm selling my <6 mo. old PCIII. My bike is stock, so just used it to improve throttle response and lean condition from the factory. Comes with the USB cable to connect to your laptop. The software and installation instructions can be found here...

Thanks for sharing, and for taking the time to write all that!
Pete,
Congrats :rockon: !!!
I test rode one of these a few months a go. The ergos are pretty good for a sport bike. Compared to my ZX-14 (very comfy), it's a close 2nd. And wait until you hit 5K rpms...:thumbup: it REALLY starts to pull.

PJ,
Good topic :rockon:.
While I agree that a track day or 1-on-1 instruction is best, I do think that books are better than "winging it". Here's a video shot at a track a few hours from where I live. I've been out there and know some of the guys with Ride Smart. At about 1:20 in this...
