Hello, As my FZ6 is STILL with it's engine in pieces, I've started looking for cheap second bikes. As I couldn't find any comparisons between these two, here is my mini review. Perhaps there are others looking for a comparison like this. I chose to check out the vtr because it was the cheapest...

So I havent been around much as of late On top of life sucking, a lot, my beautiful FZ6 was taken away from me. A rather old woman turned across traffic into me and I bounced off the side of her little suv at 50. I felt it as soon as I tried to stand up. A plate, a rod, and 6 screws...

.. so this morning I am out for a little ride, and I think I felt a little clunk once or twice when hitting a bump. Nothing really loud, and certainly uneventful, but I want to make sure that nothing serious is going on. I believe that it is in the rear, but it is so small and so fast that i...

Hey Folks, Jumping from a GSXR 750, to FZ6, it obvious that the fz6 will be more buzzy on motorways than fully faired bike. On my GSXR 750 I'd glance at the clock and would be doing 80 mph, It felt like 30 mph in real time. Hopped on fazzy the other day felt like I was going 120 mph, when I...

John & I rode up today to take a look at some fall colors....my favorite time of year :) Kenosha Pass: And I'm not really sure what the he!! I did here. I went into a corner, I knew I was going in a bit hot but never felt like I was outta control or out of my...

A couple months ago I installed a Penske 8983. I didn't have a friend around to help me set the sag, so I fiddled with the compression and rebound adjusters and found what I thought was about right, though the bike still threw me off the seat on heavy bumps. I didn't want to keep dialing in...

A little intro and then onto the story: I started 2 years ago on a ninja 250 after taking the MSF course. I always have and still do wear ATGATT. About 5 months ago I sold the Ninja and bought a Ninja 500. Got bored with the power and very recently became the owner of an '07 FZ6. I wanted a...

I did trackday about 3 weeks ago at a local kart track that hosts events for small displacement bikes (supermotos, 250's). The FZ6 was barely eligible for open practice at 599cc. I will say it was the wrong bike for a tight a technical course, too heavy, too upright, too much power. I was in...

The Metzeler Roadtec Z8 I put on the bike approx 2Yrs ago has run over 10K miles and I think it is time to change them. It has a bit of tread left(especially the rear), but I want to replace the tires at the same time and the front ones have a weird profile on them now. So, I wanted to checkin...

Hi all, I saw a stock FZ6(S2) rider on W Wt Harris Blvd, Charlotte, NC at around 9pm. I felt bad, as I couldn't make an eye contact with him properly(to say Hi) as we both were riding. I felt very happy on seeing a fellow FZ6 rider in the same area. Is there someone who is here in the forum...

Well I was out riding some really nice twisty roads yesterday when one of the guys who I was riding with (who I had just met that morning) threw me the keys to his brand new Street Triple R. Now normally I don't like to ride other peoples bikes, but I figured when am I going to get a chance to...
