FZ6If you’re looking for one bike to perform a multitude of missions, look no further.
Take it from Cycle World* Magazine - “For a more advanced rider looking for a bike to do it all, there is no other choice.”
"Yea, though I ride through the valley of the shadow of the Harley, I will fear no R.U.B.: For my FZ6 art with me; thy power, thy speed and thy handling they comfort me." -- Metrics 23:4
2005 with 34,800 miles.
Started life in the States, but I shipped it to Germany for a bit of high velocity playtime on the Autobahns near Cologne. I then rode it down to Italy for a year of working and riding in the Dolomites. Considering the hours that thing has spent buzzing down the highway at over 9000 revs in top gear... she's pretty tough.
