bowdog Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Great looking bike at a good price, whomever gets this one will not be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 that thing is immaculate... Isn't there another thread going where the OP is talking about spending $5500 for an FZ6R? You kids need to get together and both walk away happy. Like I said in the other thread, the FZ6R is considered a bit of a beginner bike, but it's a very nice machine. Not a performance monster, but solid in pretty much every way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFlash Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 It looks like the bike is spoken for. I'm having2nd thoughts about an FZ6R being a sufficentstep up from my GS 500F, for the amount I'mwilling to spend. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i don't get the baby steps some take in bike selections. I'd think about what you ultimately want to be into and ask your self if you are capable of controling your self and being able grow into it, and if the answer is yes take the leap.

C-bus Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Steps up are generally for those looking for that 2nd bike. After the feelings of inadequacy are alleviated, you focus on what you want. Do you want comfort? Touring capacity? Track-capable? What does "up" mean?OP.... Hope the sale goes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I believe you are listening to the choir too much, and yes it is a big enough step up and nicer bike than what you have now. If it is the bike you believe is the one, then I think you should get it.....doubt you will be wishing/regretting you had allot more.....just sayin. Too bad this bike is accounted for, this is about as good as it gets. Edited March 30, 2014 by Pokey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questions have arisen inregards to torque and horsepower, and what constitutes alogical step up without getting in over my head. Too small of ajump and I'll wish I had saved my money for something with ahigher level of performance. I guess I'll dig into the internet and do some more research. .

If you don't like it, sell for same price you bought for at said dealStep 5: profit either way you go Edited March 30, 2014 by Bad324 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will grow into it a lot quicker than you think. I sarted out on a gsxr750 (100hp) then took a 4 year hiatus then picked up my TL1000(125hp), took it easy with the TL till i got comfortable then started giving her hell. I'm no knee dragger but i'd like to think i'm a above average rider. Like i said learn self control and respect the bike and you will be fine. My current 1400 is still a learning curve for me but ive only had her for half a season. Edited March 30, 2014 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Sorry for jacking your thread Mr. Rooso hope you have the bike sold too Lol, no problem. Wondering why I didn't get any notifications on replies to this thread otherwise I would have been back here sooner.The bike is spoken for but the transaction is pending a money transfer that hasn't happened yet, if for some reason it doesn't happenI will be sure to let you guys know here. The bike is in like new condition, Melissa hardly road it. I hate seeing it go because it was nice knowing I had spare parts in the garage if I needed them lol, I have the exact same bike. As for it being a "starter sportbike", yes, it does not have the torque n balls of most 600's but it will still get up and go.Its not the kind of bike that you're going to stand up by accident, it just doesn't have that kinda kick, but I love mine greatly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not matter spit what anyone else thinks Jack, and opinions and experiences are like assholes. I think the interweb is going to confuse you more than help, you need to go ride some bikes at a demo day or just pull the trigger on whatever you like and feel is a good and wise choice for you. You can't outride what you have now, so what exactly is really making you want something else more powerful? You are a bit tentative and think waaaaaayyyyy too much and over analyze things when it comes to bikes and riding.......relax and enjoy what you have for maybe a bit longer. You very simply have bike lust and there is NOTHING wrong with that "trust me", but try to avoid writing a check with your mouth that your ass may not be able to cash. Sometimes you don't know what you had until it is gone, but with motorcycles that is usually an easy fix. And yes we have totally hijacked this thread......LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
