I was originally looking at an 08 CBR1000RR. That's kinda what got the thread started, that or a CBR600. I liked them a lot, but I think a true race replica would just have been a bit extreme for my lifestyle. Plus the roads are mostly flat and straight around here:mad:

Decision made Well thank you all for your posts, very informative. I decided on a 2011 FZ1 I found as a holdover. Got a decent price on it, and I know the ergos will work for me. I was never going to track the bike so the CBR was probably a bit extreme for my needs. I really have enjoyed my...

I am having a couple FZ1's quoted right now. They are impossible to come by used around here, but I may be able to snag a decent close out on a carry-over. I like the FZ6R, very comfortable, but I just want some more forward thrust.

I see your point. I should qualify my use on the bike. I use it to commute, but do use it for some out of town riding on the weekends where it would be more usable in its natural form. I would use it for twisties and such, It's just that it will be used more in a straight line Monday-Friday. I...

Hello, fellow riders. I am very close to closing a deal on a 2009 CBR600RR with 3200 miles. I have had fun on the FZ6R, but want to try something a little more agressive. The issues, I am 41, will use the bike for in town riding as I have a BMW R80RT for the highway. I have never owned a bike...

Funny thing is that I ordered frame sliders last week and they were waiting for me on my porch when I got home from work. Just installed them and hopefully I will never have to use them for their intended purpose!

The thing that sucks is I am usually hyper vigilant at these kind of intersections, but felt a little pressure from all the cars stacking up behind me. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Look out for number one on the road!

I almost got myself killed today. Still shaken up a bit. My work is on a frontage road with a bunch of other businesses. At 5 o'clock it gets very congested as people all go to the same outlet to then cross a busy four lane artery with 50 mph traffic. I was watching a pickup that was turning...

I have had my FZ6R for three months now and this is my first bike. I had my 600 mile checkup and there was an 08 FZ1 used for $5900 in the showroom. Very clean with about 6000 miles on it. I sat on it and found the geometry very similar to our bikes and liked it. I would have taken a beating on...

New Bike, New Rider Hello, My name is Jay, and i am from Fargo, North Dakota, please no jokes about the movie. I am 39 and finally got my bike license. I just bought a 2010 Raven carry over this Spring and have 800 miles on it. I do love the bike and kick myself for not getting one 20 years...
