    I made the switch...

    ...to a 2014 CBR600RR! Honda had a sale going on for all the 2014 models. The sale price for the CBR was $7,900 and only had 3 miles. I couldn't resist so I decided to set up an appointment to check the bike out and maybe go for a demo ride. Sooo ... the demo ride was the determining factor...

    Drag Bars.

    So I put some drag bars from bike master on my bike today. They seem to fit alright. a little lower than the OEM bars. The arent hitting any of the mirrors or fairings on the side where the steering lock takes place. So I will have to wait and see how they handle. I put on Block off plates today...

    Loose front end

    Hello, I'm a new FZ6R owner (2 weeks), and I am enjoying the bike. I just wanted to ask about the front end, particularly cornering..in short it feels "washy". I've done some searches on forks, springs, fork oil, fork braces, t1res and such but I can't seem to match exactly what I'm...

    Sadly I have traded in the FZ

    Going to be riding a R3 in a few days. Wanted a more nimble ride, I live in one of the most traffic polluted cities in the USA and not my fav place in the world New Mexico. There is no escape from the masses here. So a smaller, light bike makes way more sense. Will post a pic soon. If I...

    Sadly I have finally traded the FZ6R....

    So although the fz6r was an amazing motorcycle and I will always remember the good times I had on her, it was time to move on in the world... Really think it was the best starter bike I could have chosen, it just is not nearly enough power, Meet Starla Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hanging Off a Harley in Turn

    So today I was riding in the mountains and there was a Harley Sportster (an Iron 883 I think) following me through some very tight turns. I waived him by on a straight and saw the impossible... the dude took a 25mph turn at 50, on a cruiser that can only lean at 32 degrees. He did it by...

    seat height question

    Hi everyone, just picked up a barely used 2014 FZ6R that is all stock as far as I know. I am 5'10" (thin male runner body) and am surprised that I can barely flat-foot the thing. I've already found the "how to lower" threads for the front (wrench) and rear (link). But does it sound right that...
