I was really lucky to ride for at least a month one bike like yours. Exactly the same colour and model. It's a friend's of mine. He lives in Germany and he came for a couple of weeks. He asked me to make a service on this bike and i had it for a month (with his permission). I can say that it's hell of a bike. Very steady and in a good road you can lie your knees on it! The speddometer wrote 270km/h in final speed (but 245km/h on navigator system). You cannot realize when the 220km/h are coming from stopped position!!! Very good choice really! Have nice and safe rides.
THE COST OF YOUR HELMET, IT DEPENTS ON HOW MUCH EXPENSIVE YOU THINK YOUR HEAD IS.
Thanks Guys!! It's a fun bike.. Not a 1K class bike but still fast enough.. The micron exhaust looks great but is definitely isn't load enough.. You notice it's got a "modified" clutch lever It also had a crushed mid panel.. which i was able to buy online for under 5o bucks... I gotta tell ya, the FZR handles way better in corners..
I'll post better pics of the fat boy.. I was really torn about this purchase. definitely the most expensive bike i've ever bought and i'm just not in love with it... It's great on long trips and sounds really nice but pretty much a fast car could outrun me.. 1400cc's 80 HP and 700lbs.. whoot
So what's happening with the FZR? I'm considering dis-assembly and painting /power coating the frame and adding R6 fairings.. I love my 04 tail which but the rest of the bike needs to be cleaned up.. (ps i have a 15-year old that will eventually be getting the FZR)..

Old School great bike (R6). My buddy has the exact year and color as that one. He rides the wheels off of it. He has an Aknovpovic (sp?) full system on his which sounds great. Fit some Michelin Power Pilots on it and let the railing begin. Punt the Fat Boy.

Beautiful R6. Love the paint scheme. Not that I'm biased or anything. "

Say it isn't so buddy. You sold the 954 ?? I may have to come up there and flog you with a Sidi."
I loved the 954, it was a great bike.. When i bought it I torn between the CBR and the R1..
This is just scratching an old itch.. I actually one an R1 on ebay last winter but the guy backed out of the sale.. this was too good a deal to pass up
