Feeler: For sale 2007 FZ6 - Blue! - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Howattzer · 09-11-2008, 12:39 PM

Hello,

Just a feeler to gauge interest on possibly selling my bike.

2007 FZ6, blue, Pilot Power 2ct's, Scorpion Stainless Exhaust, PC III, K&N Filter, Puig Double Bubble racing screen in dark smoke, FE Kit, Frame Sliders, pazzo levers, FZ1 bars.

14,000 km's or 8,750 miles depending on how you count them. Bike is in overall excellent shape. Never dropped, all maintenance records.

I am thinking that $6,300 CDN would be a good starting point but am open to suggestions on price.

Reason for selling: Wife wants a boat.

Thanks for looking and please feel free to let me know your thoughts.

hey if you do end up wanting to sell your bike 100% I would be intested in some of your aftermarket parts if your wanting to go that route. eg PC3 and levers. you could get what your asking for it all stock probably. let me know.

Boats are holes in the water that you pour money in.
The spend most of thier lives sitting around doing nothing but breaking.

Its cheaper to rent a boat, or borrow a boat and pay your friend, and bring it back full of fuel. Much much much much cheaper.

Just my thoughts on boats.

Ask anyone that has one.

Little boat hook up trailer tow to lake fill up truck, put boat in lake, park truck, play with boat, park boat, get truck, load boat, fill boat with gas, drive home, unhook boat, take all your stuff out, clean boat, cover boat. Make boat payment. pay boat insurance.

Or rent boat.
Drive to lake walk your stuff to boat already filled with fuel. Pay for the day or weekends rental, play with boat that you dont have to fix, return to pier, fill boat, put stuff in your truck or car. Go home forget about boat.

Yes it costs alot but its worth it. LOL

That was funny! and sounds pretty accurate... I think I would never buy a boat...

It

That was the one of the reasons I decided against buying a boat. I looked seriously into the idea, but figured I'd probably use it 3 or 4 times a year, so in total 8 days a year. I might as well have took a bag of money down to the river every 3 months and thrown it in.

At least with the bike I'm out as ofen as possible at weekends, and if I get chance I take it to work when my director isn't looking. Way more use, and more important - more enjoyment.

Howattzer · 09-11-2008, 04:39 PM

Oh, nobody needs to convince me about a boat. Over the past 10 years I have owned 3. The last one never saw any use so I sold it and bought a bike. Wife wants a boat now that kids are old enough to ski, tube, etc.... In a perfect world I would keep the bike but the boat I want is over $40K and I also need the space in my garage.

Depends on how close you are to the lake. I live 5 miles from our Marina and during the summers, we hit the lake atleast 1 day a week. Haven't been in 3 weeks due to the water level and I'm having withdrawls.

Though I do like the new bike, but that's not something a family can enjoy.

i dont know about you ... but i hit the road at least once a day on my bike... so 1 day of the week on the lake < 7 days a week on the road/fz6.... so in conclusion... buy the kids a canoe

... but seriously.. sorry to hear about your imminent lost...

VEGASRIDER · 09-11-2008, 09:47 PM

You forgot license and registrations for the boat and trailer. Plus permits and usage fees, dock fees, etc depending where you go.

But look where he is, prime boating location, Kamloops! Boat will be used year round, definately will get it's moneys worth.

What has that got to do with YOU selling YOUR bike.....PUSSY..........................
