The older FZ1 had a lot of room and at your 6'3" a good condition 2nd hand may be your better choice, to me 5'9" the new FZ1 felt too tight for...
I'm more supprised no-ones asked why robf650 joined in Aug 2006 and is still dithering, just do it because you know you want to.
Eeek thats down to SuperBlackbird territory, thought a well launched VFR would keep an FJR honest to 60... Thats a given seeing a VFR is the best...
Just curious did you try a drag off the mark or just rolling at high first ? Reason is have read the VFR timed in mags at 3.29 seconds to 60...
Agree, the one thing I have always loved about VFR's is their appearance of being hone carfully out a lump of solid metal. :smile: Just hours...
I do, admit the Hard bags of the Gen 6 look better integrated to the motorcycles design and maybe better to tour on but I like the Ventura rack...
As goinphaster suggests things get smoother with distance the Transition itself is smoothest after 10,000miles, also make sure the SV's are...
Do you ever feel like you missed out on something ? After a 16 year break loved getting back into biking again in late '02 with a 250 by doing...
Check out this Instructional Video of a poor choice of motorcycle to learn on. Sad thing is the guy while seeming ok will probably be scared off...

Stonking great motor in the FJR although they only have 5 gears to the VFR's 6 it is an interesting question knowing the VFR will eat it in the...
As cool as the Vlak is no matter how far you hang off it must run out of ground clearance, must admit it'd be fun making the sparks :biggrin:...
Oh you just said that to get me to bite aren't you MD and have been successfully up until this point in keeping out of this Gen6 Vs thread for a...
after following both Micron & Staintune equiped Gen 6's over many miles thought the Microns while louder and mean sounding at lower Revs seem to...
Cheers, that darkish Silver Colour is a good choice, thought the Klingon ( Gen 5 ) would look good in Mazdas Titainium Silver Metalic.
Must admit to finding it somewhat amusing, cheers.
There we a few little changes like longer Cam chain guides, its also my general rule to wait 1 to 2 years in a model run before buying any new car...
Look to '04 or later if possible, exhaust wise my personal favourite for sound is Spuds out Staintunes and favourite for looks is the quad Lasers.
Unless you track day try the newish Pilot Road Road 2's, the turn in is slightly more progressive than the Powers but seem to grip just as well...
