    Immaculate and 'As New' FZ6-N (late) 2008 for sale (France)

    Regretfully decided to sell my 2008 FZ6-N in black to fund a business project. The bike is in absolutely immaculate condition with only 1500kms on the clock, not even run in fully yet! I purchased the bike in late August 2008 from Granville Yamaha in Manche, and also had the first service...

    Winter riding - Wrap up warm! *warning*

    Well, I usually keep my bike locked away for November, December and January, but if the weather is nice, always go out for a quick run... This year here in France things have been colder and wetter than usual for this time of year, and maybe I was a bit late switching to my winter gear... but I...

    Alpinestars WR-2 Winter Gloves - Recommended!

    Bought a pair of these last month to replace some race leather Alpinestars ones I use for the summer. I paid 80Euro or so, around $100, and for that price was a little dubious about how they would do; Alpinestars WR-2 Gore-Tex Gloves - KneeDraggers.com Alpinestars WR-2 Gore-Tex Gloves -...

    First service tomorrow! :o

    Well, I have the bike booked in for it's first service. :eek: Gone a little over 1000kms, now at 1150kms, but I'm sure it won't do anything adverse... just wondering, anything I should look out for? Anything I should be aware of with dealers/service this time around? I was going to do the...

    Bagster 'Touring Saddlebags' - 100% Recommended!

    Picked up some of these Bagster Touring Saddlebags a few weeks ago from a local store. They cost me around 80 EURO, I am guessing around $100. Fitting: *Easy*. They strap over the back seat of the bike, and fasten with very strong Velcro straps. They also come with 8+ bungees, with which you...

    BT020's in the wet? :o

    I was out for a leisurely ride last night with some friends, nothing too serious, just a few hours of twisties. One friend on a Honda CBR125, the other an Aprilia 250... me on the FZ6. No problems I thought, and I'd certainly not have to worry about keeping up. Until it rained... when I felt...

    Rollie Free

    I have seen the pic on the page a few times, but always assumed it wasn't genuine... but researching some of the Vincent Speed Record attempts, it turns out that the pic is not only real, but the guy was laying on a bike, in his swimming trunks... doing 147mph!! :eek: Rollie Free - Wikipedia...

    It's concentration you need stupid! (Lesson learnt)

    Well, as I posted recently, I'm 6 days in with my New FZ6n s2... after a break of a 3 or 4 years without a bike. Had great fun so far and been building up my confidence with longer and longer rides over the last few days... I have done 500 miles or so in under a week so far, and was feeling...

    Not an FZ6, kinda old, but still worth seeing!

    Worlds fastest electric bike, ironically named the 'Killacycle'... you really have to see the end :eek: I hate to see people injured, and am glad to say despite the whole 'spread eagle' thing, Bill Dubé (the designer guy who crashed) was fine after a few days... but man! OUCH! YouTube - Worlds...

    Picked up new FZ6 s2 yesterday!

    Well, after all the good advice I previously got in This thread, I picked up my new FZ6 s2 2008 yesterday! Went for the black model they had in the showroom, and as I picked up a new Furygan jacket and HJC FG-15 lid too, I got a nice 600 Euro discount from list price! I had a bit of a 'moment'...

    Dilema on new FZ purchase...

    Hey all, New to the boards, but thought I'd post and ask some advice! Been riding since 1999 or so, and was a GSX-R 600 K1/2/3 rider for a number of years before I sold my bike and took some time out to enjoy 4 wheels. Always did miss my bikes though... I now live in the center of a big city...
