Well, I will never forget my FZ6R, she always rode well and never let me down. I would always recommend it to anyone. And while the grass isn't always greener, it was time for me to trade her in and get something a little different.
Last year I test drove a bike that was just unbelievable to me in the way it felt & my wife LOVED the bike, I mean LOVED it. It took a lot of hard thoughts on what I really wanted but after weighing all the options and then test driving one several more times I figured that this season I would get something different.
The best time to buy a bike is in the DEAD of winter IMO...
So.....What did I get? (drum roll)
I got a pre-owned Gen 2, 2008 Hayabusa with VERY few miles, repeat, VERY FEW miles, Aftermarket Chrome wheels, Two Brothers Exhaust, Warranty and New Q2 tires. I tried to post a pic but can't figure it out so will add a youtube later of it. The bike is charcoal/black in color which identifies it as an 08(the only year that color option was available). Being a gen 2 it also has the selector switch. The previous 1 owner, was in his 40's, bought the bike new at my dealership and sold the bike at the same dealership trading it in on a vmax, a 20k bike. It doesn't have a scratch on it.(yet)
Being 6"8 or so, it fits me better and is great 2 up. Plus, it's a Busa, so nuff said!
I won't leave the forum and will never forget the FZ6R but found a situation that was just to good to pass up. Sometimes, timing is everything.
I traded in the FZ6R(had title) in on the Busa, So it basically cost me the FZ6R and a couple K Cash to trade for the busa.
ya...... so....... all comments welcomed...
