Damn! Nice looking Bike! The insurance is much higher than our FZ6R. I just called my carrier and they said it would be nearly double what I am paying now since the Ninja is considered a super sport bike where our FZ6R is considered sport-touring bike.
Plus, I just couldn't bring myself to...
I emailed the seller from ebay directly and asked for them. He gladly sent them to me and will have ads up on ebay for them soon.
YES, the running lights are white and the blinkers are amber colored lights. They look great! But, I have had to be more careful when driving in the daytime as...
pics of fender eliminator
Here are 2 pics of fender eliminator. The Fender eliminator kits are pretty nice! I love the look of the LED stalk lights as it keeps the almost stock look but cleans it up a lot! You lose all that amber lens look of the huge stock lights. I definitely suggest this...
I just finished installing some new LED turn signals on my 2012 fz6r. The install is super easy and fun. Whether your putting on flush mounts, protons, rizoma, or any other aftermarket turn signals the install is very much the same. I opted for some cheap, slim, LED stalk style lights. I got...
Finally about to hit 600 mile!!
Break-In periods are always a hot topic! Some say: "Ride her hard in the beginning and she will be used to it rough" and others say "Ease her into itand in the end she will get freakier with time". I am no expert but I have broken in over 10 bikes and...
You are correct that this is my first 2000+ yamaha but My brother bought an R6 back in 2004 and at the same time I bought a new GSX-R750. We both broke the bikes in together and even switched back and forth while on rides. He often complained about the Yamaha gear box and he also was not a...

Some 15 years ago when I was taking my state DMV driving test to get my motorcycle class C license (Prior to getting a car class license) I was acing the test and performed everything flawlessly. Pulled the bike back in front of the DMV guy and he said...
Clunky shifting on fz6r
I have had these bikes in the past: Honda CBR F2, CBR f4, GSX-R600, GSX-R750, and an assortment of cafe racers as well. I just recently picked up a 2012 fz6r for my daily commute and I am pretty pissed at how clunky the transmission is on this bike. The only way I...
Interesting thread
Hi... I have ironically been having the same issue! I am a 15 year veteran rider, used to race track, and know my way around the road on a motorcycle! I recently purchased an fz6r because I want a commuter bike that still can have a little fun on the side when I want to. I...
Rt 100/82 Near PA/Del state line
I used to live out that way and ride often. At the time I was on a GSX-R750 but still some great rides! Rt. 100 near West Chester, PA and head south... super fun roads all around that area (not many smokies either).

New Bike, New height
Hi all,
I am 6'1" and found the stock or "L" position to be ok for me but I did want to try out the "H" position and raised the seat up a bit. i really like the new height of the seat and it did not compromise stability or handling at all! It is a touch more windy at...
