OK....first ride...WOW, very nice bike, the engine, suspension, ergonomics.....how did they do it at such a competitive price! I've had a lot of bikes, but this little bike is awesome! Gord

Does anyone use a lift? Just got a used FZ today and want to clean up the chain. Can you put weight on the muffler? Doesn't sound like a good idea? Gord

Wow, I guess I'll never have to adjust the valves, that is nice to know!!

Thanks for all your feedback, I'm picking the bike up tomorrow! Gord

2012 white with 7,000 KM (5000 ish miles), excellent shape, $3,800 CDN.

Yes, mainly commuting, I am sure I'll "get out" on it a few times a year, but love my RT for weekend riding.

My idea of light is anything under 500 lbs....so, I think the FZ is 460ish with fluids, that sounds great to me!

BTW, what are the value adjustment intervals on the FZ?

Thanks, that is a great (seemingly unbiased) article and comparison...sounds like a good fit!

Hi, new to the forum but not new to riding. Been riding since I was 16, now approaching 50...so long time rider. I am looking for a small comutter bike (short 10 minute commute) to the train and back. I currently have a R1200RT as my 2up touring bike and don't want to park that bike outside...
