Has anybody tried the highway on FZ6?

What is you opinion - did you have enough power?

Did you feel that tracks were tailgating you?

Did you have a passenger?

I dont know where you are talking about.

I do know that you have the ability to accelerate, stop, and turn, that puts almost anything but a formula one car to shame. Unless the cars around you, are running 5-6 lb per horsepower, and warmed race slicks you have no real worrys from the bike.

Now the rider on the other may or may not be able to.
If any of us could use our bikes to the bikes full ability, motorcycle race teams would be camped out in the yard with contracts.

Prolly talking about the Sea to Sky highway from Vancouver to Whistler in British Columbia.
I'm planning a ride on my FZ6 in a weekend or two from now, before the weather starts to fold on us.
I understand that the RCMP are currently waging a war on bikers on the S2S and the cops are winning....

I ask about the route from Vancouver to Whistler (Sea to Sky) because it is a challenging ride with lots of twisties as well as elevation changes and sometimes quite a bit of traffic, passing areas are few and far between.
