HELLO The names Stuart live near Manchester in England, just joined so if anyone is interested........not been on a bike since 1985 saw the Fazer and thought it looked the business....my mates told me to insure it for just 2,000 miles for the year (you wont go out in the rain thats enough miles just for some fun)...10 weeks later...1800 miles.... done the dual headlamp mod, much better although at night theres a few car interiors lit up even on low beam, well at least they can see me! just ordered a belly pan in Lava red and an aeromax screen.... both French made...maybe the screen will stop the buffetting, who knows....persuaded the wife we need to go on a touring holiday next year to Spain, shes agreed and we need a bigger bike..FJR 1300...Need to keep the Fazer though it's such good fun and i need a practise run along the Normandy coast line with my mates.....she's not realized yet there will be 2 bikes in the garage.
The bikes really good for the price paid and it only had 400 miles on it, apparently it scared the first owner.....changing into 2nd gears a bit clunky and it is a bit buzzy on the revs but the higher the rpm the better it feels, only had valve bounce a couple of times, it revs out so easily, very addictive....so long for now.............Morti

Hello everyone! My name is Andrew, I live just outside Washington, D.C.. I just picked up my 08 Cobalt FZ6 from the dealer on Saturday and have already put nearly 400 miles on her. I posted a couple weeks ago in the *Potential riders must read* thread stating I was going to get an FZ6 as my first bike and sure enough, here I am.

I just LOVE this bike and do not regret at all buying it as my first. I rode it home from the dealer using my friends gear and had no problems getting used to it and even drove on the beltway and 295 (those of you who know what roads those are should know how bad they are). I think it is an excellent first bike as long as you just take it easy and dont be overconfident. The main thing that helped me out I believe is first, I rode around my neighborhood for about an hour on my friends ninja 500 (real easy and def recommend this bike for beginners as well) and then all the riding ive done since I have ridden with him and other friends together. Riding together is the easiest way to gain experience and you feel safer because you know you arent alone.
