Yes I think The FZ6 is a very versatile bike. Has its pros n cons but overall if I may use the expression ' best bang for the buck '. Sure there are better bikes out there but they cost a lot more. This bike does it all at a decent price. Sad to see that it was taken off the Yamaha line up and...
I dont see what the hype is all about the FZ8 :confused: IMHO its going to be almost the price of a FZ1 and for that kinda cash I would rather have the FZ1
I am guillty of this by wearing just ordinary jeans most of the time with no protection whatsoever:eek: I did get a pair of Icon riding jeans which are better then just plain old jeans for summer and have a pair of textile pants by tourmaster with the right protection that I can only use in...
That video was funny as hell. I was shot in New Delhi India from what I got from the video. I do think it was staged I mean he actually did it but those were his buddies who took the video. Anyways that is India and wonders never cease. Infact I have seen up to 6 passengers riding on a 150cc two...
While riding I talk and text on the cell phone all the time its simple just take off the helmet hold between legs on the tank:D In fact I occasionally stop at starbucks and pick up a Latte and continue doing all of the above :cheer:
I can also manage a friendly wave to a passing cager who looks...
The Bullet is the dual sport bike of rural India. It can be fixed by any corner lil repair shop and parts can be found in remote villages and thats what made the bike such a hit over there. I actually had a friend who had a 1977 restored and all I can say is wow. Heres a pic of a fancy styled...
People seem to mistake the FZ6 beccause of its looks to be a crotch rocket aka sports bike with clipons. IMHO its definately not a Crotch rocket but :) we all know it has the heart of the R6 and is a rocket in hiding till its power is unleashed to the unsuspecting cruiser or Harley rider :Flip...
Gotta warn you that kick start if done incorrectly can give you a nasty kickback/recall lol and yes I do know it has the electric start but heck who would give up the chance of starting a Vintage without a good old kick ;)
Thats awesome for the Canadians, we have the Bullet 500 version available in the USA with the front disc brake and I hear now they have a new fuel Injection model as well. I havent ridden the 500cc version as yet. But as a previous Royal Enfield Bullet rider(350 cc version)owner all I can say...
I plan to keep my FZ6 as long as it lasts and can be repaired . I will be looking to get into another bike in the future but the FZ6 stays, well at least thats the plan so far.
Spares should be available due to the popularity of this bike for some time to come I recon. I may just buy some...
Well we all probably knew this was coming with the poor economy and all the budget cuts and model reductions we have seen with all the manufacturers.
I just got through reading the sport bike model lineup listed in the Jan issue of Sport Rider magazine and Yamaha has listed the FZ6 as a...
I don't want to give a biased opinion here as I do own the FZ6. All I can say is you have to feel it out yourself and test ride the bikes. I personally like the in line 4 on the fz6 and like the feel it gave me for my height(6ft) and weight(censored). I like the under tail exhaust VS the...
