Hey 600riders,
Initially posted this in the general discussion section, but then saw this thread and thought it'd be more appropriate. Sorry about that! (Mods please feel free to delete my first post) Anyway, my name is Sam and I wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I recently took the MSF class, got my motorcycle endorsement, and am now looking for my first bike. It's somewhat of a corny story, but when I was in college, I went to a motorcycle shop here in Raleigh with my dad, and sat down on my first motorcycle--an '04 or '05 FZ6--and I was hooked. I wasn't in position to purchase a bike at the time (poor college student and focused on getting a "big boy" job), but I still remember that day very vividly, and always knew I'd get to a point where I could actually afford and enjoy a bike. Now, ten years later, I'm finally there, and think it'd be so cool if the same bike I fell in love with was my first one. The market is pretty bare here at the moment, but I did run across this add a shop in nearby Durham.
Other than maybe the mileage, it looks pretty good, and the price seems very reasonable...maybe too reasonable. I'd be interested in getting anyone's thoughts about this particular bike, whether its worth a look or not, or about the FZ6 in general as a beginner bike. After perusing the site for awhile, I'm astounded with the wealth of knowledge here. Looking forward to becoming an active member of the forums!
Cheers!
