Two bits of info. First, I didn't seek out an FZ6, it found me. I helped a friend on my son (then high-school aged) purchase his first street bike. When he went in the Navy a few years later I bought it from him because he didn't know what to do with it when they deployed him. It sat in my...
I've had around fifteen motorcycles thru the years. Of those, two still tug at my heart more than the rest...
My second street bike, a 1985 Yamaha RZ350. The yellow/black/white Kenny Roberts edition, complete with the full Toomey kit. The sound of a piped two stroke twin is music to my ears...
The mount is for Garmin Street Pilot c310 Street Pilot c320 Street Pilot c330 and Street Pilot c340. I don't have it anymore so not using this stuff. The U-bolt base will go .5-1.25 in diameter. The arm is almost 4" total length and 3" from socket to socket. I know most cannot use the Garmin...
Wondering if anyone has ran the street fighter bars or ultra lows from renthal? I've seen post about the medium bars but can't seem to find anyone for the other ones. Done a street fighter kit and wanting to change out my handle bars for something a little more sporty.
I've been riding motorcycles about 9 years, mostly street, some mountain riding. About 40,000 miles total so far. Two years ago I was in an accident where I applied the front brakes too quickly in street traffic, ~ 20 MPH. Nothing too serious, however several ribs broken and a sprained...
I may not be a cop, but I can sure ride like one. The local Sheriff's Motors Unit offered an advanced Motor's class to us civilians. One day, 8 hours, mostly riding around a bunch of cones. The same patterns and dimensions that the officers must get certified in order for them to ride...
2002 CBR600F4i w/ 49,000km. New oil, plugs, fluids, filter, tires, chain, and sprockets! Runs like a top, and is in great shape all things considered!
Time for some winter touch ups, and prepping for the next season! I figure pissing off the rents by riding it down the street already without...
I would say my FZ6 has soul.
It's pretty much the definition of modern Japanese four cylinder appliance, but.... it's got this lovely sound at idle and has this sort of jekyll and hyde power band that sounds ridiculous above 7,000 rpm, not to mention it's a great looking bike!
I've spent...
Joep our cat was killed on Monday night/ Tuesday morning.
He was poisoned by a guy in the street who put down poisoned chicken on a patch of public ground, next to his house. There has been 4 other cats who have been killed and a couple missing.
As you can imagine I'm devastated, especially...

I have an '04 FZ6 Fazer and I love the comfortable suspension but it feels a bit too soft around corners.
I have done all mods and servicing on the bike myself but have never tuned bike suspension before. I read somewhere that to set it up properly you have to do things in the correct order...
Rode ~260 miles of really twisted roads this past weekend and when we stopped I noticed the front tire of the Triumph 675 had maybe used 2/3 of the tire while the back was like mine with maybe an 1/4" of chicken.
The Two FZs and the Brutale had used much more of the front tire.
Point: is the...

Good evening!
I am in the process of parting out and selling all my dirt bike stuff. In the process of this clean out I found this head light/number plate for our Cannondale E440. The head light is set up with 2 bulbs and wired for high beam and low beam. I dont know if it will be bright...
Hey everybody, awesome site you have here! I am ready to get another street bike and I really like the looks and reviews of the FZ6. A little about me. I've owned 9 street bikes and 3 dirt bikes and been riding since 1973. My last street bike was a classic 1981 XS1100 (pic attached) Yamaha and...
While I was walking around in New Hope on Mother's Day (Sunday) I saw a black and blue FZ6 parked on the street of the main street. Was that anyone's on here? I got really excited because FZ6's are rare but I left before the rider came back to it.
Here's a great video from the state of Washington covering the reasons why so many vehicles collide with motorcycles.

It's a two way street, the rider must know the reasons why in order to prevent and minimize the risk as well.
The Tuning Fork company just announced the new R1's.

I need an M1:D
Also, Honda announced a street version of the RC213V. Not much details yet.
Hey guys,
Tonight is the first night that I will be parking my 2004 FZ6 in the Chicago area. I have the bike on the street right now, but the looming fear of someone coming by and nicking my bike is haunting me! :eek:
With that being said, does anyone have advice for me in terms of...
