I have gotten that "stomach into your throat" feeling from like an elevation change, you know what of those real harsh quick dips.....but I dont think I have ever caught air. I cant imagine the sensation that would give the body at higher speeds.

theres a dip on HWY 94 and another once you get on to Coronado after the bridge that i always seem to catch some. Its awesome and nerve racking because when you come down the handle bars wobble a bit. Stay loose and your fine :)

i came off the ground maybe 1-3 inches on the fz6r doing ummm pretty fast over a small hump/hill on the road!!!
i was going over a big hill on the z1000 accelerating pretty hard in 6th and when i came down the other side my front tire came up about 2 feet or soo and i road it out down to the bottom of the hill haha:eek:

Not both wheels. Just the front has come up on a dip without me trying. It is a different feeling for sure.

I cant be 100% sure but I do recall one situation the certainly felt like I did. im sure the front did and think the back did as well even if it were fractions of an inch.

Yea. There is a road near me nicknamed, Stairway to Heaven". Think of a rhythm section that is paved going up the side of a mountain. Needless to say you can do about 5-10 over the speed limit and get good air. The speed limit will get the entire bike up around 4-5" off the ground twice and the front end up a lot more. Can be fun be you really need to make sure you keep the bike straight, especially since the FZ6R does not have a steering stabilizer.

yes! many times. There's a road nearby me that has this crazy little bridge that goes over a small creek, the incline on it is insane. You literally could dukes of hazzard it.

My rule is to keep at least ONE wheel on the ground at a time. :D

I was cruising down a road on the 6R once and came to some short whoop hills, and caught a bit of air. I didn't expect it. Was going the speed limit, but because I was overall fairly light, it was easy to pop off the road.

I've had the front come up but I don't plan to let the rear come off. The 6R is NOT a lightweight dirt bike designed to come off the ground. I've had dirt bikes way off the ground, a car and a jeep (in reverse, funny story) in the air, but plan to keep at least one wheel of my 6R on the ground at all times.
