New (to me) bike!
Picked up this 2012 FZ6 yesterday! Newest non-china bike i've ever owned in my 15 years of riding. I don't even know how to feel about finally have a fuel injected bike. It needs new fairings, I have the old ones but they are faded and kinda rough. Or finish making it into a naked. The only thing that looks bad, imo, is how far the dash and headlight stick out. So, not sure which way i'll go with that. It needs a new rear tire as well, but it runs great and has plenty of fun power. I look forward to some long rides on it!

The FZ6 is a gem of a bike that always seems to come up for sale at good prices, even in the current bike market.
Personally, I say street fighter it. The headlight and gauges stick out so far because they are meant for fairings. This article on a persons street fighter FZ6 conversion has some great information in it that might be of use to you. https://motorcyclemelee.com/yamaha-fz6r-streetfighter/ |

The other thing I've got to change is the exhaust. It has a two brothers black edition shorty can and it's so loud it's annoying. It sounds good, don't get me wrong, I feel like i'm riding in the Isle of Man TT on the country roads, but I'm going to get a ticket, drive my neighbors insane, and maybe myself. lol I'll give that a look! I'll take all the help I can get. Thanks! |
