That thing looks awesome

Hope they use a better swing arm... Looks like a flashed up XJ6. Think even in the video they are just slapping shit on a XJ6.

I wonder if they rework the gears ratio's. theyd have to right? it looks like the year sprocket is a lot bigger for sure

That looks pretty cool. I'd get it. Still has the 6R exhaust though...

At least from the concepts, it looks like it IS a FZ6R/XJ6. Just with some crazy urban hooligan stuff on it . Same frame, swingarm, exhaust, etc.

Not sure what to think of it myself. Dont see a reason for it, if it is the same bike. A lot of people like factory "modded" versions I guess. I would rather take stock form and make it my own. 3 or more of those in the same town would get pretty old haha. You would not feel so "unique" anymore.

Now if someone did that themselves to their FZ/XJ6, that would be awesome. One of a kind.

It is inteded to be a stunt bike. that why they ad the crazy acges and extra protection everywhere

Yea it is a xj6.Motorcyclist Mag is making it sound like theres a chance that thing will end up with a triple in it.I guess it was parked next to the triple concept display at Intermot.

The pics are obviously just a xj6 with mods.I'm just enjoying the idea.

A Fz6r with hardcases would compliment a stripped down xj6 triple perfectly lol.Btw I have the only Fz6r in town

I might even be happy if they just use the engine out of the fz6 to be quite honest.If they make it perform better than I honestly wouldn't mind saving $ on another steel frame.

True... Dont know anyone who would spend that much money to drop a purpose built look of a stunt bike though. Most get older trashed bikes to start with. Either way it does look cool.

Dont think it will sell for crap. True stunters most likely wont touch it for the price and non stunters will get it just to look like a stunter. They may try and stunt, then cry when they trashed their $8-$9K bike.

haha, I am being negative today arent I? :wtfgun:


If they change the engine to the triple, or just another variant of something else, that would be pretty cool though.

Your just feeling negative lol.I feel your pain though.

I hate to put words in your mouth, but I think you honestly believe that if a person trashes a bike with a stunt cage and dual caliper rear hand brakes.Then that fool should be on a dirtbike instead of our streets lol.

That cage would have helped quite a few of our forum members.Looks way tougher than frame sliders.

Looks mean and fun, but buying a bike built for stuntin and not using it as such is pointless. Epic fail! Will be removed from the lineup the following year.
