Is the FZ6R yours as well?  If so, how do you like it?

you knew someone had to say it. If you want to ditch the reflectors but keep some sort of reflector and give a little more bling, Tapeworks sells wheel tapes in a variety of colors that are reflective including red, black and the Itl tri color. I had black on my dark. It was near invisible in direct sun, but hit it with a flash or other directed light and the tapes reflected back a bright white.

well I have been debating taking them off. I dont know if just a little bit of look difference is worth less visual for other drivers. But I will take them off if you all say so. haha. Take it easy guys.

And no that is not my FZ6-R, it is actually my fathers and he loves it  waytogo

you know different strokes

I have ridden it, it is a great upright sport touring bike. However, I think its a tad under powered. You really have to get on it to get any power out of it.

More power is on the way.  I guess the FZ6 is being replaced by the FZ8.  I hope we get it here!

Yes that is true the FZ6 is getting replaced by the FZ8. Good riddance in my opinion. I never found it a very attractive looking bike to begin with. But that's just my opinion. I really dig the fairings on the -R, it gives it a kind of GSXR look.

happy riding ^_^

looks nice.  If you want to do something free, work on getting rid of the rubber bands holding all the wiring to the frame.
