Wish I was, I used to have a home in cashiers and went through West Union on the way to Cashiers. Have you ever ridden the road from Cashiers to Highlands, about 11 miles long or so. Its quite twistie and would be fun. I have only ridden at Deals Gap and was taught some manners by the...

Living in Florida, there are tons of bike nites every day of the week. Used to go quite a bit and I always noticed I usually was the only one with an FZ1 and got a lot of positive comments and looks at my bike, while on the other hand my wife who rides a gsxr1000 never got any comments about her...

Well I must say Clearwater Lights are mighty proud of their lights. At Quakersteak bike nite in clearwater florida, I have seen similar lights for sale from vendors for around 200.00. I wasn't that interested and didnt pay attention to the manufacturer but they were significantly less to...

I had a FZ6 and bought my wife a GSXR1000 and realized I needed to move up to the FZ1. I rode the GSXR1000 a few times and realized I didnt want to lay down all the time while i was riding and I knew I liked how my FZ6 felt and my ego was screaming for a 1000 so I knew there was only one...

this thread almost sounds like the real answer to my thread last month about installing a new R1 engine in the FZ1, looks like others might think that would be a good idea ?

I had an FZ6, somewhat lighter than my FZ1 but (I know were talking about R6 not FZ6 - bear with me), from personal experience the two bikes are like night and day with respect to power. I had a SV650 hated it, do not like the V-twin, also had a ZZR 600 for 11 days before it was crushed by a...

Pretty much all the time. Usually not so much on down shifting however.

I am sure you guys are not sitting around watching tv all day, however have you noticed that the chief executive for GM is on TV every day pitching something new. He is either hosting a town hall meeting, talking about some form of health care or some other economic related topic. They dubbed...

I am laughing my ass off at this thread. Actually I cant wait to see pictures of the bike and the dude! who is proposing this.

Welcome, I too came from an FZ6. Great bike but no match for the FZ1, you will see

I tried metzler on my fz6 when I had it and it was noisy so I decided to stick with michlein

160 on speedo, however, I have a 48 rear sprocket and the speedo is off, I know for sure. However, with the sprocket change it had plenty of power and would have kept on going in my opinion. No idea what the real speed is. I think I am going to try a gps and see what is says. I am shocked at how...

Just couldnt do it. Maybe I might have to move north when the oceans rise and florida goes under water, but then it will be warmer up north, Ride Forever

summer cannot fade fast enough for me here in florida, can't wait till winter for riding at its best.

I have watched the video and its good information. Of course on You tube there a bunch of crash video's and lots of shock value. Being a grim reaper (funeral director) several times a year I get to see first hand what happens to riders at my funeral home. I saw a rider last year who was...
