    There was some speedo error for sure but these little buggers rip.

    Ahhh

      It's a beater if you can fetch a "Nice" GS in the same price point or more...

      Or maybe People are just asking Too Much for GS's... I mean this guy wasnt north of $2K on a 850G...
      Or maybe my value of bikes is skewed .

        I find myself really liking that instrument cluster. I also like the shifting into 3rd gear at 100 and shifting into 6th at 150. And the way the front end wants to float away. Very entertaining video

          They had to revamp the model in 2010 to the FZ6R for the FZ6 was a too overwhelming and not very receptive for "beginner" riders. They knocked 20 hp off and added a "sporty" fairing to help increase sale. Ultimately the FZ6 line was replaced with the FZ-07 however the original FZ6 was very high performance for the Standard bike realm. 100Hp at 13.5K RPM in a bike that weighs a touch over 450lbs Soaking Wet... The power is all thanks to the "re"-Tuned R6 power-plant.

          Very fast MC... A true bargain bike that not many people know about.

          One of the Best 600's ever made IMHO.

                      I liked what you wrote before. You can't please everyone but yet your friends are here.

                      Nice video, btw. Very ballsy popping a mini-wheelie and hitting 150+. I was amazed to go 100 so anything past that is a pucker factor if ONE is not familiar with that speed.

                        Riding all right. Only problem is I'm riding a chainsaw. LOL Took the Stihl out for a spin around the yard.

                            The worst is the trees down. I may be buying stock in chain saw blades. LOL I have the driveway cleared, but the rest is too much to do by myself. I would be cutting up trees for six months. heh

                              Too bad you're not up here. You could just put a sign on the gate " Free Firewood " and it would be gone in a couple of days.........
