Hello. My name is Tim and I am considering buying a 2012 FZ6R. After looking at several types of bikes, Versys, KLR, Ducati and others, I was please to come across the Yamaha.
I recently had a friend leave his Sportster at my place, and with his permission, I was able to take it out for rides. Sorry "Harley", but my arms and hands fell asleep in 12 minutes from all the vibration.
At 61 years old, and being a guy who has loved machines his whole life, I want something that is not too outrageous, but not too tame either.
I even considered finding a vintage Honda CBX....just because its awesome, but I know thats not practical.
First I plan I taking a motorcycle safety class, and getting my license. Who knows...perhaps the "desire" will fade. As I have gotten older, perhaps I have gotten wiser..........but heck......that "kid" inside me is alive and well.
Ride safe everybody.
