I have been toying with the idea of buying a camera for a while now but despite having some gift vouchers on Amazon.co.uk I can't find anyone who will ship to South Africa. I'm watching the SBK races at Donington and I saw the Nilox billboards alongside the track, I have found a couple of...

Hi guys, This might be a very odd question..! I just started riding, like to go for long drives, twisties if possible, and occasional (call it very rare) track days. Should I buy the Tracksuit and boots worth 800-1000$ (I'm buying for less off of craigslist) or rent them 50-100$ per day at...

It looks like until I will get new track bike (after my adventures described in track section :) ) I will have to ride FZ6 on track. I've put slicks on it, but that means I can't use it on a street :/ Any one want to sell front and/or rear wheels ?

:) Hi, Well.... fz6n does not have a chance against sport bikes (especially 1000cc or high-reving 600cc) however I did my best on the track and my old bt-023 tires had really long 2 days. Just bits of this or that corner ... Enjoy the show ;) Slovakiaring + fz6n Best lap: 2:53 Top speed...

Saturday hubby and I went to Thunderhill raceway in Willows, CA for our first full track day. I had to post up these awesome pics they got of me. We had 3 goals for the day. 1. Hubby wanted to drag knee 2. I wanted to get half a cheek off the seat 3. All come home safe & sound We...

I will soon be investing in my first pair of riding boots and I am not sure which to get. My main riding is commuting and weekend state park trips. I do not plan on going to the track, although I know some features of track boots are much safer, like the ankle protection that limits rolling your...

The question is, get an R3 (honda and Kawasaki's are ruled out for various reasons) for a track bike OR buy a used 600cc bike like an R6 or even an FZ6, for about the same or less money? I like the R3, but think I would go the 600cc direction. What say you all? This space intentionally left...

Like the title says does anyone have a R6S? If so how does it compare to the FZ6? My only experience is on a 2006 R6R and a 2014 R6R. I'm thinking about picking up a R6 to park next to my FZ6 in the garage. I'd use it for track days and the occasional back road blast. I really want the...

This is advance riding school, not a race track. It was a blast! 2009 FZ6 track day July 2014 - YouTube If you haven't been on the track before, do it! Take it easy, and remember it's an FZ6.

sort of..

Indy was voted as the best GP of the series. Read about it here: Soup :: IMS Declared "Best GP" by Dorna :: 11-10-2014 This was the first time for a US track to take the honor.

Hi everyone, I recently bought this FZ6 N from 2005, as my first bike. It's been used for riding on the track and has done 26000 KM (16000 miles). I test rode it and it runs smooth. What should I be aware of when riding this? As in, what might possible break when I'm riding around. Just so...

This has been around the web for years and I'd thought I'd put it out for a giggle. Anyone who has done track days should get a kick out of it. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jj4ftAuFyg#t=11

So overwhelmed right now. Also somewhat depressed and frustrated. You know the whole "go slow to go fast" thing? Very hard to do, but it's essential to make progress and correct so many things I wasn't doing right.. so I'm quite a bit slower now than I was before this school :rolleyes...

This summer I’ve decided to took money out of my saving and booked a day on a motogp calendar racetrack. Because Lemans is the only one I can reach in a one day travel : lemans it will be :rockon:! First challenge : put all needed stuff on a 2007 FZ6-N (Tent, sleeping bag, clothes, tools...

Bike is 05 fz6. I weigh 220 pounds. They call for .95 but was wondering if I should get the 1.0? I was thinking getting the .95 and 15 wt oil. I will not ever be on a track I dont think and just use the bike to go out and play around on. Has many people near my weight done the swap?

Working on getting off the bike more :cheer:

Just wanna say that it feels EXTRA good to come back to the track and do a full day, after crashing out at the previous track event :cheer: I rode very cautiously (slowly) in 1st session.. especially through the corner where I low-sided. By the end of 3rd session, my lap times matched my best...

I'm not a track guy (yet) nor do I watch very much Moto GP. But I thought that I would share you this thread from another forum. A rider got banned for doing power wheelies at the track. It's a very lengthy thread, so it may take several days to go through it if you are that interested...
