1987 Mustang LX 5.0 5 Spd. Behind it is a 1994 Ford Taurus SHO. I'd post a picture of my 2007 Honda civic... but thats kinda boring.

Wow Wow... Just showed this to my buddy, he brings to my attention that the first 8 videos are from Knightdale, NC. I literally drove on my bike and made these turns tonight. Scary shit. Im avoiding the intersection from now on... I don't know bout ya'll... but I hate riding alone.

Thought about it too.. Keep the FZ6R and pick up a R6 for the track... or adrenaline weekends. However, took all my energy and convincing the wife just to get the 6R, short of selling my 5.0.. I'll have to wait on the R6. My wife says "You have too many toys" Three cars and a bike...

I'm sure the fz6r has more power than I'll ever need. But man... the R6 styling is just sweet.

I tried... I really did. I'm at 450 miles, had to open it up once or twice, just to see.. I heard it from my buddy, "Hope you don't plan on having it long, etc" I have hit 8K more than a few times, hit 10K once. I think I'll be fine. I'll let you know in a year or two. :)

I know in reality the FZ6R is more aligned to my riding style.. more than 30 mins, below 60 mph etc. I don't like to speed, I like to accelerate. I'll go fast as I can from 0-60 or 80, then back it down. Weird, huh? I'm sure I'll keep it for a while. Has anyone done the first 600 mi...

Well - A few reasons... 1) I recently hit highway speeds, at 80 the fz seems like it doesn't have much more to give... In regards to passing power, I feel its fairly slow. Or that im really ragging it out. 2) It doesn't feel stable in the corners. I can achieve better stability if I...

Let's see... I have owned the FZ6R for about 4 weeks, but I think this R6 looks sweet. Of course, progressive quoted me $130 a month (just for insurance). I have no idea if thats good or not. Somebody talk me outta it...

30. Second Bike. First one was a 2001 Shadow VLX DLX. Bought it when I was in college and outgrew it pretty quick. Im getting used to the higher seat and leaning into turns (and the skinny tires). Not sure why, but the 160's make me nervous... like I feel I wont have enough traction if I take...

Well, is there a bike that is a next step up before the R6 or other 600cc bike? I was thinking the FZ6 but apparently they don't make them anymore. Maybe we have to wait for the "FZ6R" replacement. One thing I enjoy about the FZ6R is the insurance premiums... much lower than an R6!!

Ahh.. very close indeed. I picked mine up at Matison. Talked first with the guys at Team Powersports in Garner, didn't like the sales manager attitude... Are you a member of any group rides ?

I suppose I could just wait for the exhaust after a year, see if I still have the bike. Im spoiled I suppose, a quick $250 got me some cobra pipes for the cruiser years ago, my chin hit the floor when I saw $1000 PLUS a recommended PC5 or juicebox module. Shooott.. $1500 could go towards an...

nc_fz6r --- Where in NC are you?

Thinking the same... Hey everyone -- First post, just got an 09 FZ6R (blue) two weekends ago. I've been riding with a buddy of mine (he has a 650R). A few things I've noticed in the last two weeks that make me feel I want to upgrade. 1) I'm a 6'1'' guy, about 215 pounds. While riding home...
