FZ6R

amboman · Jun 4, 2014

Just took possession of our new 2014 FZ6R as a step up bike for my wife. So far we have both decided that this little 600 is a credit to Yamaha and we are both pleased with everything it is.

Nice! We had a '07 FZ6 that we bought for my wife as well but it became my goto bike for years. I loved that little guy!

Looks sharp, she will have fun on the 600.

I am hoping that I am allowed to use it as a to work commuter on occasion. So far I got to ride it home from the dealer and thats about it. I went back to the dealer to see if they would tai sit back cause all this week I have had to do the housework and feed the kids cause "she who must be obeyed" is always out on her bike.

I did draw the line when the suggestion of parking the FJR on the other side of the garage so she could park the FZ in its spot came up.

I think we created a monster.

My wife is on a 2012 FZ6R as well.

Black with red graphics .

She came from a V-Star1300 and had other big bikes as well but choose this ride for a more sportier ride.

Have fun with that baby.

Funny, I've been doing research on the FZ6r, because my wife will be needing a bike fairly soon. She's been riding my daughter's 300 Ninja, and is in LOVE with riding now! However, my daughter will be taking her bike with her to college come February, so wifey will need her own bike. She loves the small bike....now, but I'm afraid she'll outgrow it. So I've been looking at the FZ6r, and am thinking this will fit her perfectly. Would like to hear from the ladies that ride one, if at all possible, and hear their point of view.

I know someone from this board was selling one. Check the for sale section...

LKLD · Nov 13, 2014

Didn't see it Wheatie, but thanks for the heads up.

wheatonFJR · Nov 14, 2014

I think RiderCoachLar was looking to sell one a while ago.

I have a blue 2006 FZ6 for sale. Keep in mind the FZ6r is a different bike with less hp (about 78 vs 97) and closer to crotch rocket styling (instead of standard/sport bike styling).

LKLD, I just sent Maria Elena - MEM an email regarding this thread; she bought Barb D's FZ6 in British Columbia and she stores it here in Arizona in my Chandler garage.

MEM rode it to Dos Cabos, Baja Californa, Mexico and she flies down to PHX to attend SW-FOG and many other FJR Forum Events! She will be in Kanab, Utah next June.

It's pretty hard to knock a Fazer. Rock solid and you get about 75% of an R1 or R6 without having to marry into a family of chiropractors to live with it.

My daugter-in-law rides a FZ6R that is lowered for hher short stature. Great little bike overall. I've ridden it several times and it has sufficient power and handles very well.

Tanker · Nov 17, 2014

My wife loves her FZ6. I had to lower if for her with a custom shock and added here requested farkles.

She has 30k miles on it now.

Anyone considering the FZ-6R should also take a hard look at the 07. A wonderful bike from Yamaha.

LKLD · Dec 20, 2014

Skooter, we looked at one, but like the fairing bike more, and feel the tamer FZ6R is a better fit....for her.

Thanks to everyone for your opines. Here's an update on our search https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/158704-new-riders/?p=1199553
