Hi Folks,
My name is Kirill, such a strange name belongs to Russian guy, who lives in Washington DC metro area, particularly in Arlington, VA. The friend of mine is a motorcycle fan and he involved me into this world as well.
As a first motorcycle ever, I bought used FZ6 2008 turned into "street fighter" about three weeks ago. Well... To be honest, better he never touched the bike :spank:. So I'm in process in getting things back.
This is all the story. Cheers!

Hi there,
greetings from good old germany
got my licence since June and of cause got myself a nice 2008 FZ6 s2 with 11.000 km. Sadly only the slightly slower silver edition.
I wanted a blue one but this one was really well maintained so I got it.
Managed to ride only 2000miles this year. But this is so much fun!
But did not once managed to test vmax on the autobahn. Will try next year. :Flash:

New member but long-time lurker here from AZ. I've had my FZ6 for about 1.5 years now, and I use it every day.
A few shameless pics of my bike:
Me riding to Jerome, AZ a few weeks ago.
Riding around ASU East/Williams Gateway Airport
Making a quick beer run.
Current pic of the bike and my mods:

Joined a little while ago, when my wife was looking to buy an '05 to add to our stable. I just don't think she really appreciated the 1983 CB1000c that I completely rebuilt for her. She still kept on riding her ET4 too much. I pretty much demanded that she get something newer than the CB, so she would ride more. She got a pretty good deal on the '05, and so far I have put a new chain and sprockets, and have to reverse all of the "fixes" that the PO did. I am just glad she listedned, and went for a FI bike!

Hey everyone. I'm 26 and from Denmark, and I just got my FZ6 yesterday, woohoo! It's my first bike (been riding SFV650 and ER-6N for my license and on track), and I'm so excited to go riding.
Unfortunately the season is ending here in Denmark soon, so I decided to save some money on taxes and insurance and are waiting to get the bike registered until next year.
So excited!

First post to introduce myself, although I'm more of a lurker than poster. I grew up riding dirt bikes, but every year I seem to ride more and more on the street. Been through a number of bikes, but my current street bikes are DL650, YZ450F, and now a project FZ6 that I'm converting to naked since it was damaged by a previous owner. My old man has an '04 FZ6, so I had some foreknowledge of the bike. Too bad they don't make them anymore, but the new FJ's look really nice.

Howdy all!
I just purchased a 2005 Yamaha FZ6 and a 2001 Kawasaki KZ1000P in a two for one deal. The FZ6 needs a lot of love, but it runs... which is a good start (no pun intended).
My last project was a complete frame off restoration of a 1972 Honda CB350. That engine was seized, but with a lot of TLC, I was able to bring it back from the dead.
I reside in the Phoenix metro area. I'll be looking for a lot of parts for both bikes!

Evening all, my names Mark and today I just bought a nice tidy 36,000km 2004 FZ6N in silver and black, and has a nice set of staintune pipes. My wife made the comment that it sounds like a hive of wasps screwing a moving formula one car.
I take delivery on Wednesday as it needs a new warrant of fitness and a service, can't wait to get out on it. It's garage mate is a 2000 Ducati 900ss ie so I think I've got a good spread of toys in my toy box now.
Anyway cheers for the great forum, already used some of the articles to inspect my new purchase.

Hi all,
purchased an '09 FZ6-N a few months ago now and whenever I would google for information, this website would come up so thought I might as well join as it seems like quite a good site.
Purchased the FZ with 14k km on the clock, currently sitting at 17k, have loved every bit of it.
My bike before this and first bike was a 1988 Honda Spada VT250 which was an excellent first bike and is largely the reason I decided to go for the naked version of the FZ.
Purchased the FZ with an Ohlins rear shock installed and Leo Vince exhausts, love the sound of these and the Ohlins does feel quite nice (haven't experienced the standard one so can't really compare).
Over the past week I have also installed some shorty levers from the2wheels and just installed an integrated tail-light from Motodynamic. Plenty of plans for the bike to come.
My dad also rides a 1999 Suzuki TL1000R (widowmaker) which I have yet to ride but should be interesting to feel the V-Twin again once I do.
Here's a picture of the old Spada next to the new FZ:
