  • More FUN and faster than my Harley FXSTD
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 20, 2015

    Bought my all Black 2006 FZ-06 with Street fighter Naked, used with 8500 miles. It was my first standard/sport-bike and I am not disappointed one bit! I really enjoy riding it as much as I can. It looks great, handles very well, it is more than fast enough for me and the accelaration is excellent ...

  • Another bike -
    By  (I am an Owner) on Oct 23, 2008

    I ride an FZ6 - I'm also 5'5" and on the search for the replacement of my Yamaha Seca II, which is 12 years old and still my favorite bike.

    The FZ6 is a fun bike to drive, lots of power when I need it, very tourable - I strap a Wolfman Beta Bag on the back and away I go! It's fun on the ...

    When I get to a stop or need to move the bike, I have issues - when are the manufacturers going to make a sport tourer that isn't for a gorilla man with long legs and arms???? I've had the bike apart so many times to replace signals and other parts I can do it with my eyes closed. Every time I drop it, it's a slow speed issue or trying to move the bike.

    Love riding the bike, HATE it at a standstill. (Ok, why am I at a standstill anyways??)
