Re: I bought a FZ6!!!

Hey again fellas!

Yup I made it out of the canyons ok. Firstly, I really really like this bike. It's got some pep to it, and i need to get used to revving it high. I'm used to my 1000cc vtwin.

Totally different ride characteristics. I did notice that the bike seems a bit stiffer to throw around in corners compared to my vtr1000, but the engine... wow... the best descriptions i can give is the engine is like butter. I wasn't sure if the engine was even firing... I had to look at the tach to make sure it's turning. Good times.

I've noticed alot of people saying they are having a hard time seeing what rpm they are on because the LCD setup. I can't say I've had that problem. I look forward to spending more time on it.

I wasn't sure who asked, but I spent 3800 bucks on it. I think it's a good price. What sold me was the pretty low miles.

I was thinking about putting on some plastic on the bike, like a bellypan, or seat cowl, or side radiator cover, but yeah... that's alot of money. I think I'm going to put some flush mount turn signals on...

Thanks for reading the rant.
