That's bad news Frank! 
It's not that long since you got her back. And you've just added new suspension.
Why not buy another FZ6 - you already have the mods for her....
If not, Street Triple or possibly Speed Triple.
It's all going to depend on your budget. If you have the money - Brutale for sure......

I dunno, after riding a Brutale.... just can't see it being worth the $$$.
Nice to have in the garage, nice to show off to the group of friends/riders.
Not that amazing on the road. Not saying its bad, but I expected alot more for what you pay.
Has anyone actually gone from a FZ6 to a Street Triple? I can see moving to the Speed, but am interested at what feedback anyone who has will give.

Probably get a new street triple R for that, or a Speed Triple a year or two old.
Can't say I've heard much about the dukes, but with that price range at least you have alot of choice!

Hmmm... I think they're trying to tell you something. :BLAA:
I recently switched to a Speed Trip, couldn't be happier.
My new Speedy...

Try a Speedy about 4-5 years old at that price. They are about $19000 on road new.

Been keeping an eye on the bike selling sites, often seeing the speed triples going anything from 1-5 years old varying from 10k upwards, of varying conditions.

Look no further than a Moto Morini Corsaro Veloce :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: But if the budget wont let you get one of them , then a XJR1300 is HIGHLY recommended

the new kawi z1000? dont know about the price or how much they sell.
the street/speed triple are great for bang for the buck and no one has a bad word to say about them

Nothing like a training wheel to get the girls running. Which direction may be a question tho! At least you'll be able to catch them, as long as they run in a straight line
The new Z1000 are actually quite nice looking esp compared to the older ones.

You see Street Triples/R's everywhere in Perth, as nice as they are.

The Tuorno is rather big & heavyish....not like the new RSV4, which is tiny!
But the Tuorno is definitely a nice bike...have you thought about a Suzuki SV1000S or N....they are a very nice ride...V-twin, 125hp at the rear wheel, not real heavy, good for sport riding and touring!
Can get a good one for $8000-$9000...although, 2007+ models are definitely the best of the run!
:thumbup:
