granda080 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 So I got a chance to ride my buddies R6. I've never had a chance to ride an actual sport bike. I don't really consider my FZ6 a sport bike...it's more of some type of hybrid. Anyway, after about ten seconds I figured out why you all love your sport bikes so much. I love my FZ6 and wouldn't trade it for anything else, as I like doing long distance rides, but this was seriously a great ride. Just thought that I'd share.

granda080 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Don't get me wrong I love my FZ6. A large part of that being I don't have to be bent over the tank, but it was just so much fun! It's one of those the grass is always greener on the other side things. It was a nice R6...as far as I know. It was in great shape. Any suggestions on what bike I should try to sneak a ride on next? Or the best borrowed ride anyone else has had?

natedogg624 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 those first gens are a lot of fun. that was the time before yamaha moved all the power up to the high range, this bike still has a lot of punch right around the middle, (nice little kick to at 8k ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Snatch a ride on an Italian v-twin next. You'll never go back to an inline four again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granda080 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Snatch a ride on an Italian v-twin next. You'll never go back to an inline four again. I'm sure. Now if only I knew someone with an Italian V-twin....j/k. I'm sure it's an incredible ride. The Aprilla's and Ducati's are more like works of art than motorcycles.

granda080 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 no more incredible to the average person than a cbr suzuki or yamaha.You're probably right, but to riders there is a difference. I love the story of Ducati. They have such an interesting history of how they ended up manufactoring bikes. I know that most of the manufactorers do, but I'm particularly fond of Ducati's. If you ever have a chance to see the documentary that "Twist the Throttle" did on them it's great...all of there documentaries are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granda080 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I've got about six of them I've watched on my DVR. I just think they are really well done. It's a great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
