New 2007 FZ6 Owner! - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Hello from East Texas (not howdy)!

I found this on craigslist and the price listed was $4,500. I was the first person to call the guy and he said he now thinks he priced it too low, and upped it to $5k. But since I saw his first price that he'd sell it to me for that there were no pics, so here's what the guy e-mailed me:

Well, yesterday afternoon the wife and I took a 3 hour drive to look at a one-owner, '07 FZ6 with 6884k miles, Yamaha gel seat (and original), 1 tooth smaller front sprocket and speedo-healer, dual headlight mod, stock and touring windshield, GIVI V46 top case, Cortech sport side bags, tail bag, and mini tank bag. I took it for a short test ride...

And what do you think I did next?

Depending on the mileage, sounds like a good price.

Pushed it over and told the seller to F-himself?

j/k you bought it...

Jman · 10-10-2008, 10:48 AM

Looks really nice. Congrats.

jpainter187 · 10-10-2008, 11:07 AM

Yes, I bought it. The guy I got it from is 45 and babied it like crazy. He went on two long rides on it, one to the tail of the dragon and another in Colorado, changed the oil before and after each ride.

I forgot to mention it's never been dropped/laid down... Which is always a plus

Dude! sick deal! did it come with the gear too? I paid (after taxes and everything) 6,400 up here in NY just back in July. Granted that was brand new, but the used ones are going for about 6k-5.5k here. Just the bike for 4.5k is a sick deal but with all that gear too should be illegal!

Ride Lot's, post often!

jpainter187 · 10-10-2008, 11:34 AM

Yep, came with all the gear mentioned. He had about $600+ in just the saddle bags!

Now I just have to sell my BMW K75... How much you ask? $2,000! Any takers?
