When you buy a new bike
will you get a younger fz6?
or a different model?
or another manufacturer?

It seems hard to beat the value and performance of the FZ6. I would probably either get a newer FZ6, an FZ1 or maybe a Street Triple!

My gameplan is to get a (hopefully slightly used) FZ8 next spring. Sat on one before I had my 6, fell in love with it in every way. Love the styling, the naked look, the comfortable posture. And I love my 6, but it's been laid down (PO, not me), so I'd really like a pristine one that I don't have to worry about hairline fractures or loose bits.

I cannot afford the nike I want, but if I can find a used one in a few years I would love a bmw k1600. Either a gt or gtl model. I really want to get into more touring and I would be willing to sacrifice plenty of "sportyness", especially in my region.... there are not that many good twisty roads.

I went to fz1 after fz6. Very happy with the change and no plans in near future to switch to anything else.

I already did go to another, a Triumph Tiger 800 but I don't consider it an up-grade or a down-grade just a different style of motorcycle. It has its pros and cons just as any bike does. I would have liked to keep the FZ6 but finances and space just didn't allow for it. To many bikes, not enough time:rolleyes:

Tiger 800, Street Triple 675, Ninja 650, FZ6R.

I had a Ninja 650R and really enjoyed it. The '12 has much improved suspension, same great motor.

Part of me wants to try a triple, I just wish they made a Sprint version of the 800. Striple is a little small for luggage and the Tiger is sorta upright and squishy.
