There was some speedo error for sure but these little buggers rip.
No sound like a 4 cylinder spinning up to 14K RPM

It's a beater if you can fetch a "Nice" GS in the same price point or more...Looks pretty nice to be a beater. I've spent way more for way less

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.I find myself really liking that instrument cluster. I also like the shifting into 3rd gear at 100 and shifting into 6th at 150.

Very fast MC... A true bargain bike that not many people know about.
One of the Best 600's ever made IMHO.
Distasteful on so many levels.
Different strokes for different folks...

Did I miss something here?
This place is crazy LOL
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.

How did you fair with Hurricane Irma? I bet you're riding the chain saw! Crazy Earl!!!

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.........
Wasn't my vid... I only shared to shed some light on the lunacy
Seems to take a while to get up to 150 but it gets there. Looks pretty smooth and steady.
Oh man... Best of luck with your clean up!!!
What kind of trees grow down that way? Confers?

Used to have an FZ6. Great all around bike. R6 front forks make a difference but you'll need a spacer kit from the guy in their forums.
Almost got killed a lot on that bike though. People couldnt see it for some reason.
