OK maybe not slow, but coming from FJR and FZ1, my new to me V-Strom 1000 is very ... unfast. Heck, it would probably lose to FZ6 in a drag race, BUT.. that low end torque makes it SO much fun to ride! Cruise casually at 3k rpm (or even slightly lower), twist the throttle and the thing just...

Gonna be a while before it actually gets here (at least 2 weeks), but payment's in. Liked that bike ever since I 1st demo'd it.
Should make for some fun adventures here in VT.
I did it! I got away with a lady rider friend for the weekend. We left Reno early Saturday morning (7:30am) and headed North into California.
We took Highway 70 to Quincy. We saw some smoke from a fire near there, but not bad.
Then we took highway 89 to Lake Almanor. It had a lot of...
Last year my brother and I rode to Tail of the Dragon, was alot of fun (our dad, since passed on, used to ride, so this is something we can do that's fun in memory of him). This year, we are going to hit upstate NY - maybe even as far north as Canada. I have the Butler map, and need to do some...
Hey guys,
It might not be the right place to talk about this topic, but I thought I’d share my dilemma. Maybe I can start a conversation and get some insights from you. So, here we go..
Basically I can’t make up my mind whether I should buy a Tracer 700 or an older FZ6 Fazer. This will be...
So, my Pirelli Angels are almost worn out and I am out shopping for the next set of tires for my bike. Have run Metzeler Z8 earlier, long life but dull rides. Pirellis have been fun, less mileage though. Both tires have not had any issue with grip - dry or wet - for my riding style, although...
For the fun of it, I switched the handlebar to a Clubman handlebar (~$50) and I'm basically hugging my Fizzer when I ride lol
It's seriously nice to ride it when there's no traffic but geez it's uncomfortable in stop and go.
Gonna have fun with it until my back says enough then will...
Finally got it (after wanting one for about 3 years)! Was thinking to sell FZ1, but that bike is SO much fun and now that I don't need to use it for touring.. may just keep it as a hooligan machine! :sinister:
NCAA Basketball Tournament Brackets
Anyone want to join my League?
No prize, just for fun.
I have Tickets for the Spokane games on the 18th. Should be fun.
It's been too long! This summer has been a hot one and to top it off I'm back working part time again. I was finishing up some side work on a neighbors condo when a second job came along which tied all my normal retired free time up! Lol! This meant little time for me to ride. Now the condo is...

What makes you stick to your FZ6 when there are different bikes available on the road?
What makes it special to you apart from other bike you own/rode?
This is just for fun, supporting and, good answers, please don't judge me or come back cursing at me :)
I figured I should post a few pics from our latest trip since I got lazy and didn't post any from the previous trip :/ (Mesa Verde) anyway........
We meet up with a couple of members from our sister FZ1 site and rode around the Ouray area, via a few mountain passes along the way.

These little things are amazing, was wondering if anyone else on the forum had gotten the chance to have a blast around on one.
A friend of mine got one on a test ride a week ago and let me take it for a ride. Next to no power but so little that it's still fun to ride.
The same mate and I are...
Hey guys, my name is Scott.
I like bikes and cars a lot.
Here was the old XJ
New bike :D
Anyone know what headlight this is by the way? Bulbs are burnt out... was fun riding in the rain when they went out...

Hey Everybody!
Welcome to my build thread as I attempt to reincarnate an FZ that was lost. Basically, I was given permission by the boss (Wife) to get a project bike that I could tinker with and rebuild to turn into a fun commuter. So I found this 2004 Yamaha FZ6 in Galaxy Blue. The bike was...
Hey all!
Just purchased this 2004 FZ6 for super cheap to rebuild as a commuter. It was totaled due to front/side damage and a frame issue but it will be fun to work on and rebuild as a project. I will be doing a streetfighter conversion on it and I'm really looking forward to working on this...
So, I begged and pleaded (not really) and got my way. We packed up the bikes in our cargo trailer and trailered them to Napa, CA from Reno, NV (Donner Summit is always dicey in the winter). I really wanted to try out my new 2-piece leathers for the track that I got for Christmas. It was 16...
