at long last, a yamaha in my driveway St Louis area MO
so after a year of wanting, last night i brought home my own fz6.
Well, the days of the Buell Blast are behind me as i sold it about ten days ago. Yesterday my wife, her brother and his fiancè and I took a road trip to pick up a 2006 Yamaha FZ6 I found on craigslist. A few dollars later it is mine! I am so excited! Not only is it 3 times as powerful while getting similar fuel economy as i was getting on the blast, but it is comfortable! I rode all 310 miles home and only paused when the cold forced me to do so. I am neither sore nor stiff today either! Thank God I didn't hit rain with as cold as it was. The bike only has 3800 miles on it and is totally stock (a plus!). It really looks brand new and I couldn't be happier. It is red! Last edited by krid80; 04-28-2008 at 09:41 AM.. Reason: picture added |

Did you buy that bike from Eric near KC? If so, i almost bought that bike a couple weeks ago, but found another red FZ6 near Tulsa that i bought instead.
