some sweet projects manStarted on a 50cc Honda Ruckus, got a free Chinese 150cc bike thrown in.
Painted, stretched, and motor swapped the Ruckus to a 150cc engine.
Then got a GS500E,
Sold all three bikes to get my FZ6R.
Bought and painted a Ninja 250 for my wife.
Couldn't help it, plastidipped the Raven FZ6R orange.
A few of us bought a crap Ninja 250 and fixed it for my friend John (he rode scooters with us for a long time, then we all got motorcycles. Surprise baby made it so he couldn't afford his own. We look out for our own.)
Then we bought another GS500E for my wife as an upgrade. She tested and said buy it. She liked it, but then she decided her Ninja 250 was prettier, so we sold the GS. That was frustrating and in now way my fault, for the record.
Along the way, my little group also briefly owned a 1978 GS550, a 2002 GS500F, and a Ninja 500. These were project or flip bikes that slept in my garage.
About to peel the FZ6R and pick a new color >: )
Now I have many pieces from many Ruckus, and pieces from 3 different 150cc scooters sitting in my garage. Doing my first frame-up build with mostly salvage and spare parts. When it gets closer to completion, I'll post up a little build thread.
The bikes that started it all, both theft recover, beat to hell, and Ruckus didn't even run when I first got it.
Became this
Moved on to the GS
My wife's bike went from this
to this
to this
John's 250 from THIS
TO THIS!
And of course, my FZ!
Boring, just two and I still have them both
2009 Suzuki Boulevard S40 white/silver and 2012 Yamaha FZ6R white /red. I had my brothers Can am Spyder for about 3 months while he was moving that count? put about 500 miles on it. Id like to sell the S40 and get a can am spyder someday when I can afford it. Somehow i don't think any of our pictures are going to match dakinechicks

Sounds like you have pretty tight group of friends there MistahT, that is a rare find indeed
Yes, I am very VERY fortunate to have the friends I do. Wouldn't trade them for anything!Sounds like you have pretty tight group of friends there MistahT, that is a rare find indeed
I probably responded in here somewhere... but
this is my first and only bike... my next bike will be more touring oriented... love the bmw f800GT, but it's way up there in price.v.features.... might pick up a used fjr, connie or something along those lines, even then I'd keep this bike and run it into the ground, or pass it on to my kids as they are all getting close to that age of riding (oldest Daughter will be 16 next week)

nice collection. bet the people that live around you envy you!
no fz6r too?
Does anyone on here actually own a fz6r????? Lmfao j/k
Sent from my one and only iPhone 5 using Tapa 2 da talk

I think its down to about 50%. But everyone realizes this is the best forum so they stick around afterwards anyway
True!
This is one of the most respectful and useful bike forums out here, at least in USA.
I no longer own a fz6r but I still come here, post and read few threads. Lot of good advices here.
I bet the 6R lasts longerI still have the 6R but I traded the Mach for a 2013 Mustang.
