    About to pick up a 2005 FZ6 - anything I should know?

The bike was in great condition, other than a few minor scratches from a garage 0mph drop. 5315 miles on the bike. Took it for a test ride (1st gear around...

    About to pick up a 2005 FZ6 - anything I should know?

    Hey all, I'm about to pull the trigger and possibly pick up a used FZ6 this weekend! It'll be my first streetbike and im stoked. I've been riding dirt for years and took MSF a year ago, so I think I'm applicable to get onto the street and feel somewhat confident about my riding technique...

    Hey hardway, I just checked the "show your FZ6 in touring mode" thread, and I know its already getting long, but was your picture taken by morro bay rock? I love to surf at that place :D ... I go to school there about 10 miles away in san luis obispo. I'm still looking to get my FZ6 as well!

    I yearn for an FZ6!

    Was it a private message? I didn't seem to get anything new? Does anyone have anything to say about the sv650s by suzuki? How does a V-twin compare to an inline 4 like the FZ6? I've noticed the sv650s is significantly cheaper on craigslist. How about the kawasaki 650r?

    I yearn for an FZ6!

    Rider1a, thanks for that link! I was hoping there was something like that... I always found myself checking every county in california and searching for an FZ6 daily... took quite some time! Moses, I was definitely considering that. But at my age (soon turning 20) I don't have a credit score...

    I yearn for an FZ6!

    Yeah I saw that listing! I'm hoping the owner is willing to sell the GPS seperately, maybe then I can talk the price down (quite a bit!). I also just saw this ad of a 2006 FZ6 in atascadero, it looks pretty nice! Minor fairing damage, and 12k miles. What's considered "a lot" of miles for an...

    I yearn for an FZ6!

    Yeah I saw the San Jose listing! I'm hoping the owner will want to part with the accessories (such as the GPS system), and then maybe I can negotiate a price. I also just found this FZ6 on craigslist... 2006 Yamaha FZ6 It's decently near me, the bike has minor fairing damage, so I'm...

    I yearn for an FZ6!

    Weeks have gone by and I've driving myself crazy looking for an FZ6! After sitting on one at the MotoGP race in laguna seca, I've been searching craigslist for my soon to be FZ6 everyday in the morning, evening, and even sometimes at work! I constantly search any neaby counties from where I...

    New to the forum, new to a street bike!

    Welp... I know I'm going to get many a "oh boo"'s ... but I chickened out with the bike :rolleyes: I started thinking about my financial situation, and really... I just don't have the cash right now! I only have about $4k play cash in the bank right now... and I don't even have my M1 yet...

    Thanks for all of the welcome! So I'm going up north to Santa Rosa, CA to pick it up tommorow (about a 2.5 hour drive for me)! ... however I have to take a trailer because I don't have my M1 yet :( I brought the owner down from $3900 to $3600, so a little better! Do you guys think its a good...
