Hi All,

I am a new rider and I just bought a 2007 bllue FZ6 with 4K on the clock and it still looks like new. I started out on a friends 1993 seca II put 1300 miles on it since may and then I fell into this deal. I paid 4 thousand for the bike with the touring windshield, 1 inch bar spacers, Blue gel grips, throttlemiester, comfort saddle and new dunlops. I bought it from a Airforce Pilot who took great care of it.
I have been lurking for a week now and thought I would come out of the shadows.

I have to say I took the bike past 8,000 RPM for the first time today and holy cow batman no one said this thing had warp drive.
Got to ticket speeds real quick.

Anyway this is a great site I have already found a lot of great info.
Thanks.

And, yes, to quote someone's signature...it goes from 0 to can I have my license back sir? in about 5 secs...

That's a GREAT deal for an 07 with all that stuff.

Troubl · 07-30-2008, 05:18 PM

Welcome aboard! Congrats on getting your FZ! You definately have to respect it, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it too

**blueMONday** · 07-30-2008, 05:23 PM

Welcome to the family. This is an awesome forum to learn more about "our" bike. Very friendly too.
Just remember to wear your protective gear all the time. "Better sweat than Bleed", and Ride your ride.
BTW, Congrats on the bike.

welcome man! Gotta love that 8,000 rpm hit! It never gets old.

Just be safe and remember, all the gear all the time!

**jsteinb95** · 07-30-2008, 05:38 PM

Enjoy the site

billm · 07-30-2008, 07:22 PM

That's a good price for that rig.

**Botch** · 07-30-2008, 07:46 PM

Welcome, and congrats! Great price you got.

Oh, and "just past 8.000" is just getting into warp drive.
Or so I've heard; I haven't had mine past 11,000 yet (i don't think) so I'm still feeling my way along too.

Enjoy!

frt96 · 07-30-2008, 09:47 PM

Thanks for the great welcome.

I am a little short on safty gear right now.

I ride in a heavy leather jacket, Jeans, leather riding gloves and composite toed timberland safty boots. I also wear a helmet of course.

I am looking for a good mesh Jacket with armor for summer riding. my leather jacket is baking hot. I am leaning towards the Blue Joe rocket at my local motercycle shop, But 250 seems a little stiff to me. I am going to try searching the web. any good sites?? I know about new enough.com

Thanks
