It's funny how these bunch of tools grow balls when they are in a pack and think they can ride like they own the streets. I can't blame the guy in the truck for what happened. He has a wife and kid in the car and he most certainly was in threat for his and his families life. I would do...
The top speed should be around 115 mph. Last time I went that fast was with my FZ6R and I almost took a crap in my pants when I saw a cop car on the other side of the road :eek:. So I am good with the top speed. It does feel a little bit more sluggish when changing lanes if you are going...
Update: miles- 2500.
Average speed 75 mph.
Avg mpg 50-52 mpg.
Abs- awesome stopping power. I tried to do several attempts at full lock up from 60 mph and no wheel lock or skid. Truly works as advertised.
I still miss the power of a 600, but this is just so much fun on the twisties...
windscreen still available. there was an interest on it, but have not heard back. pm me if interested. [email protected]
shipping is $16. average, Cali maybe less.
Thoughts on differences between CBR 500r and Fz6r.
Just my two cents. CBR 's ergos are better for me. yamaha had me stretching forward a bit more. Fz6r has smoother shifting and throttle response as well as more power of course. CBR seems a bit choppier with very short rev range it seems...

What's up guys! After 2 years of not riding and many days and nights of bike research, I finally got a new girl. I ended up with a Honda cbr 500r.
I am very happy with this choice as it is a lot lighter and more maneuverable. It's also rated to having 70 mpg. This I have yet to see.
Soon to...
I completely agree. I LOVED night riding! I live in So Cal and mostly highway. No deer or other varmints around. Aside from less traffic, I feel like I am more visible to others with my bike. I also have a lot of reflectors on both my bike and my jacket. It's a more serene experience so...
Great looking bike! Congratulations! I miss riding my 6R since selling it a few months ago. it was the best and worst thing I have done. My wrist and back thanks me for it, but I die a little inside evrytime I hear the revving engine go by. I am drooling looking and reading about this bike...
Just my advice, just as everyone has mentioned, you should be about $4500 max for a standard bike w/o upgrades. Be patient. There will be one that will show up. I just sold mine for $4500 09 raven w/ 11,000 miles on it, mint condition. There were other similarly priced bikes when I sold mine...
WELL, it had to happen eventually. Today I said goodbye to my Raven. She was taken away by some young dude to LA somewhere. I referred for him to come to this site. hope he joins.
Other items to come for sale as soon as I can take a picture of them. I got 2 jackets, and disk lock and puig...
no bites here, placed ad on craig's list last night at midnight and looks promising
! buyers are lining up. Funny, the closer the time comes, I feel like I am getting cold feet. i am like loosing my concubine. its so hard to let go. :(
Unfortunately, this time it's for good. As much as I tried to keep her, I just can't. My body is revolting against me. My back issues and wrist issues keep haunting me. Getting old truly sucks.
I have 11,034 miles on it. It has been in perfect care and broken in properly. I have her garaged...
