The other day I went out for a little ride in the afternoon, since Ive finished my job for the summer I havent had my 90 km a day ride happening. I decided to hit up a curvy little back road and have a little fun. I used to ride this stretch a lot last year on my GS500F as its pretty secluded and doesnt get much traffic, turned out its a little different on the FZ6 haha. Everything was going normal and I was keeping it in control until I hit a straight stretch I used to be able to rip down full throttle. I think the last I saw I had it up to 160 km/h or so, I came up over a little crest and got the uncomfortable weightless feeling in my stomach, my steering went loose and I really didn't have time to think before I touched down again and went into a little speed wobble. I just backed off the throttle slowly and she calmed down. Scared the crap out of me and I definitely reeled in my riding for the rest of the day. I hate the feeling that i'm acting like a squid. Thinking back now it could have turned out so much worse, if a car was coming along or if I landed on a gravely bit, Im just glad i've had lots of mountain bike experience with a 2 wheeled vehicle getting squirly on me at speed both on pavement and dirt, just kept my steering loose and calmly rode it out.
Anyone else have any experience with both wheels off the ground on an FZ6?
