Max speed on this Fazer - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Ajantis · 07-07-2008, 01:31 AM

Hi guys, I'm new here, glad to see you all

Anyway, could you tell me, more or less, how fast can this naked Fazer go with that small fairing? Is it possible to do about 220-230 km/h with it and no lose the helmet? It is FZ6 2005. http://img371.imageshack.us/my.php?i...5908141df4.jpg
Or what would be the maximum comfortable speed on that bike?

My 2006 naked FZ6N (no screen) has shown 237km/h on it's speedo....did not have my GPS attached at the time, so dont know how accurate that is...but at 60km/h my speedo reads 4km/h fast...so go figure.

There are a couple of Youtube vid's of FZ6's that show similar speeds.

220 kph is about 136 mph, The Fizzer will do that in a heart beat. I personally find that 140 kph is my max comfort speed naked, Speeds over that really take their toll on neck muscles.
The best way to get an answer is to go and do it

Agreed, but try do it somewhere where you can minimise risk too yourself, and others...racetrack / ride day is best.

Well i would say just ride as fast as you safely can, or until the wind is just too much

Ajantis · 07-07-2008, 03:18 AM

Thanks, to say the truth, that is not my bike. I'm thinking about buying that Fazer. I asked the guy that wants to sell it about the bike and he told me he did max 231 km/h. I'm an amateur when it comes to bikes, but afaik >130 km/h makes it really difficult for nakeds so it was pretty strange he could ride 100 km/h faster

.

One more thing. Is there any significant difference between naked Fazer and the one with at least some small front fairing?

Anyway, thanks

I've zipped up to over the 210kph, on a very straight, very empty road and believe me the wind at that speed isn't much fun at all even on my FZ6 Fazer S2. There was still more to go, but the wind certainly made me slow down. I haven't had chance since I got the fairing lowers, so I don't know what, if any, difference that makes.

I wouldn't want to do it on an FZ6N. A long while ago I did take my SV650N up past 175kph and it wasn't something I'd want to repeat.

I have to add that none of this was on a road in the UK...

**reiobard** · 07-07-2008, 06:29 AM

just a question, why are you so worried about how fast it can go? Especially if you are an amature to bikes and to riding? Your fastest comfort speed will be determined by your skill and weather conditions, i have been going 75 MP/H on my faired FZ and with a cross wind on the highway it felt like i was going to lose it, on a calm day i have noticed that faster is smooth as butter...

Scott64a · 07-07-2008, 06:33 AM

Hey, sort of on-topic, do the 07's go past 142mph? I heard they cut off.

Wolfman · 07-07-2008, 06:44 AM

If you go anywhere above about 180km/h regularly on an FZ6 and really you should have a steering damper on the bike. I dont think the bike is really designed to go that fast anyway, even if the motor is willing.

I do a lot of Sport Riding, and dont mind winding out the bike a bit, but have decided to keep my right wrist under control, until i either install a steering damper, or i get a bike that has suspension, steering components that are designed to cope with high speed riding.
