From Lurker To Fizzer Owner - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

This forum is NOT the place for people that are afraid to spend $$$. You guys have a serious case of GAS (gear aquasition syndrome)

Been a dirt bike rider (XR500 & XR600) and had very limited street experience by putting around the neighborhood on friends street bikes. Decided it's time for my own bike and ended up lusting over the FZ6.

Signed up for the MSF course next month and was *planning* on getting a bike after. Well, two friends took me to a shop "just to look at helmets n stuff" and next thing I know I'm signing papers. Don't you hate it when that happens

Even though I know my way around a motorcycle my etched in stone plan is this: I am a beginner! I'm gonna take my time, ride at MY comfort level and have safe fun. Looking forward to learning and someday being able to help the newbies that come after me.

Btw, that's my Golden Retriever George Patton. He was happy I bought the faster RED one

Welcome Welcome. Glad your here.

Good gear rocks. Riding dirt I am sure you know all bout it. LOL

The blue one according to the scientists at DuPont is .0000000000000000000000000000000002 seconds slower in the quarter mile and I can't have that.

Dog gone it. They got that backwards again.

The red requires a base coat, top coat, clear coat
The blue requires a base coat, clear coat.

The extra mass of the paint is what slows the red ones, while allowing the blue to flash away like lighting. LOL

Apparently I need a picture of my dog with my bike
Does it help to say I chose the Cobalt Blue? Does ayone have any suggestions for frame sliders? are they needed as much as I hear?

They had Black ones too, you just couldn't see them.

Enjoy the bike and post lots of pics.
