Bike is sold!

Sale pending. Thanks for the friendly comments. Joe

Hello Friends, I bought this bike here a while ago, and I have barely used it. Between the coronavirus and building my Skoolie, my attention has been elsewhere. We will get dual sports for our nomadic life to come. I am asking what I paid for the bike - $3,000. I also have an '06 SV650 with a...

Hey there, Matt. I hope all is well. The fork deal sounds intriguing. I'll have to settle in with the FZ6 again and se how I feel. I've got FZ1 bars arriving today. Other than that, the bike is set up great - almost personalized as I bought it. Aren't there fitment issues with the fork...

Good Day, This beautiful bike is now in my garage. Thank you very much to Matt (rivettm) for the smooth transaction. Joe

Thanks to you, Matt, for making this smooth and predictable. Joe

Bike and Trailer are SOLD.

Good day, May I ask if this is still available, including luggage? I sent a PM, but can't determine if it's delivered. Thanks. Joe Text is best. 203-506-6992

That could work. I'm in Branford now. Loving condo life . . . Joe

Thanks. The big difference is that I can tow with the V-Strom. As far as riding, the V-Strom is more upright with next to no weight on the arms. It is a little more top heavy, but handles very well, including low speed maneuvers. The suspension is adjustable all around, and I will play with...

We are indeed. If you have a camping recommendation, that would be great. Blomidon Provincial Park caught my attention. Joe

Thanks for the kind words. Holly's headlight in my mirrors is a great joy. Not to sell you on camping, but here is a rolling comfy king sized bed for sale on the motocampers forum. 2014 Roll A Home Joe

Nope, just riding. I pull the trailer with the V Strom, and my wife rides her SV650. We've camped before off the bikes, and I've carried a 100 liter dry bag on my back seat. It was limited storage and a little top heavy. Here's a previous trip when Holly had a GS500.

My comfort complaint is minor. If I didn't want to tow, I'd be keeping the FZ6. I have FZ1 bars with up and back risers, and have done plenty of long trips loving every mile. However, lately I've been feeling a little pinch between my shoulder blades after a couple hours. I'm 54, so I'm sure...

Yeah, this is the 650. I was looking for a couple of things, but mainly the ability to tow a cargo trailer. Also, as much as I enjoy the FZ6, I want to be more upright now. When I took the FZ6 a few years ago and did five back to back 500 mile days, I was very comfortable. Now, I feel the...

. . . and got an '05 Wee-Strom, along with a HF Tag Along trailer. My wife (SV650) and I are headed to Nova Scotia on a camping trip. Joe

One final tip for the puck: Tie a string to it and loop it over a mirror when parked. When it's time to leave, hop on, straighten the bike and yank up the puck. On a friendly note, the best ice cream place around - Rich Farm in Oxford, CT - has motorcycle parking and a bunch of pucks lying...

Sorry for the hijack, but you can get that part here (part #9) for $1.47. Joe STAND FOOTREST

Can't beat tunes and riding. I have different favorite songs in my helmet than I do elsewhere. I use a Cardo Scala unit with speakers, not earbuds. I'm not quite sure of the legality of it all . . . Joe

Sorry I neglected to update. Risers have been sold. Joe
