Hey guys, I've been looking into buying the fz6r for my first bike. I like the looks and my dad got to test drive it and I was on passenger, I love sportbikes but I was just wondering if I could handle this bike, I'm 15 about 135-140 lbs 5'10 and about to take the motorcycle safety course. I'm not really interested in the ninja 250, i have sat on it and its a little small i think i would easily grow out of it. The only reason why im worried is because i don't have experience with a clutch but ive ridden dirt bikes and that's why i am taking msf

You can definately handle it. I'm 6', this is my first bike as well. I took the MSF course and rode the 250's. The bike is reasonable to handle, but you can quickly learn to ride it like a rocket. A lot of fun. A 250 would kill you faster than this because after a month riding it you'll want to drive it over a cliff and leave it for dead.

Roaring Toys . com - they have the lowering link and kickstand. I think it's for under $100

Definately. I met a girl about your height who has no problems with it. Also you can pick up a lowering link and kickstand from Roaring Toys for fairing cheap.

Turn the handlebars downward a bit. I turned mine from the upright to more slanted down. The cornering response is much easier. It's much more comfortable to ride (doesnt put a twist in your wrist). The upright position is too much for taller riders and I would guess it would be for shorter riders as well.

JUST MADE A DOWN PAYMENT!! Went in looking to upgrade from my 2006 Ninja 650R for a new Ninja. trying to catch a deal on a 2009; No Luck. "Leo" says sit on this, and I grin, damn, he got me now. Well very scared, I've ridden a Ninja since hitting the streets at 18. 250, 500, 650, 1100. Don't know why I'm nervous, I guess because I didn't test ride. Guess they don't offer that here in Va. Well, I'll let you know!!

FZ1Ryder now FZ6Ryder. Just bought the bike today 4/10/10 Traded in my 2008 FZ1, Best bike ever owned. The Need for Speed. But, I do not want to ride so aggressively anymore, so, It is Yamaha Racing Blue 2009 FZ6R Time. Great bike, smooth, shifting is effortless. Great torgue and speed. Did the highway, twists, and full throttle. Great experience and cannot believe this bike is that much fun. Test drove the 2009 Kawi 650R, Suz. GS650F, and Versys and other 600cc to 650cc bikes. The FZ6R is a awesome do it all bike with enough power to do anything you want it too. Any more then that, like me, your asking for certain bad outcomes on something faster. Even though it just has maybe 120 miles I put on today, Now tested, It is time to lighten up a bit to let the bike break in. Also owned the 2008 FZ6 naked version, this FZ6R is a much better ride! Bought it just to enjoy riding and sight seeing, on the FZ1, I missed everything when launching this rocket at mach speeds. Hope this helps,
