My dear friends

[WenMark]

Hey guys I know I have been absent as of late, but I have been so busy with teaching high school, & coaching football and wrestling. Now that I have a little break I just wanted to update you. I with much regret will not leave entirely as I love reading the posts always on here, but today I traded my FZ6R on an 2007 FJR with low miles (good price) and good condition. It was a hell of a deal I just could not pass up. I rode her home and she is sweet. I love the power and feel of the bigger bike. I am also a bigger guy 230lbs so I wanted a bigger bike and this fits me perfectly. I really like Yamaha products and wanted to stay in the family. I will miss my little blue machine as she carved up some good mountain terrain and was very dependable. The FZ6R is a great bike and I think Yamaha did well by her albeit would like to see them put a few more ponies back in. Guys have a safe and wonderful Christmas and Holiday season and I will see you on the boards and on the roads. Happy trails!!

Nice looking ride... you did good. :thumbup:

Congrats!

That's the route I'm planning as well, so really looking forward to good feedback. I'm probably a couple years out, so by then something else may catch my eye (well, the VFR def. did, as did this years Conny)... but always looking and reading up as much as possible!

It's a very nice machine. I sat on one of those the other day at the dealership... no clutch! That turn me off! :banghead:

Depends on the VFR... not all are semi-automatic. I rode one during one of those test drive days and thought it was a really nice ride. A little buzzy, but not too bad. When you hit 6K RPM hang on...

Congats on the FJR. You are going to like that shaft drive. No worries,there are plenty of us to carry on the tradition of the "little blue machine".

Yeah the normal model with just clutch is a bit cheaper.

 

[WenMark]

Thanks guys appreciate all the good comments...This model I bought has a clutch. I love the ride.
