appollo · 06-30-2008, 04:31 PM

Geeze,thats not bad mate.

Wolfman · 06-30-2008, 07:31 PM

That's pretty bloody good i reckon. I paid $8000 plus insurance, rego, etc for mine. Which was a 2006 Reg, first registered in Jan 07, with 8000m's on the clock.

Question, does your bike come with a centre stand & rear hugger?

appollo · 06-30-2008, 07:32 PM

no to the centre stand and whats a rear hugger

?

Ozfazer6 · 06-30-2008, 07:50 PM

Hugger is the rear mudguard and chain cover.
I paid $10 000 ride away for mine from Boltons. I looked at an orange naked at Yam world fo $11000 ride away then found this one with 5800 k's on it with luggage rack and fairing so took that instead.
The "s" models have a centre stand, I need that, Yam world wanted another $250 for one.

Congrats and good luck. It is a great bike and after you burn it in besure to take advantage of the full torque that arrives around 8K rpm. pick a good safe place to do this and you will have a blast. The bike really has two personalities and the high rpm one will expand your mind.

well i guess i am lucky, cause my secondhand FZ6n came with a centre stand & hugger, and as has just been confirmed, the N model does not come with one standard.

Centre stands are very handy to have, re maintenance & cleaning.

One thing you do get with the newer fz6'S, is the much nicer looking swingarm, on my 06FZ6n, it is square, and rather boring, on the 07, 08 models it has a nicer more sculptured look....oh and the better front brakes, amongst other smaller changes.
