    Crash landing?? Strange place to die

    Well I didn't crash land but somehow this little dragonfly landed under my seat and never left! He seems completely intact. Perhaps a tad dehydrated? What a strange place to fly into and die under the FZ6 seat. I was pulling the rear wheel for install of a new Dunlop Sportmax Q3+ after...

    A rider waiting for an accident

    I had an encounter with a rider on what looked like an older Suzuki Bandit today. Have you ever seen a rider just doing everything wrong? This guy was riding in the far right of the lane, myopically riding half a car length behind the vehicles in front. Every time he got a clear space...

    FZ6 seating position

    Hey guys, I'm not entirely sure where on the seat I should be sitting... I'm not a big guy at 5'9 <70kg and the seat seems well... quite large front to back. I haven't ridden with a pillion on the FZ yet but I can imagine them almost falling off the seat forward and slipping into the crevice...

    New Owner and an INSANE Deal - Chicago

    I finally did it. Some background: I've been on craigslist for WEEKS looking for the right bike for me. I was between getting an SV650 and an FZ6 as my first bike. Every bike I found either had a ****load of miles, was too far away, or was way out of budget. Until I found an odd listing for a...

    TownsendsFJR1300 Awesome Seller

    I bought a fuel tank for a blue 2007 fz6 from TownsendsFJR1300 about 4 months ago and finally had the chance to inspect and install the tank today. First the important points: 1) He provided good pictures of the tank before hand and gave a detailed description. 2) The tank was...

    My hubby has 3 bikes currently. I only have 1 bike. Not fair... He is always looking at Craiglists for good deals. He says to me tonight while I'm making dinner... "I found a bike you might like, you want to see it?" Duh, of course. It's a 2012 Triumph 675 Daytona with purple paint...
