FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

So ever sense my 600 was lost I have been looking for a new bike. I found a 400 but I dont know if it will fit me. Im 6 foot and loved the fit of my 600 and havent really found a bike that fit like that. I plan on ending up putting a 600cc motor in it down the road. Or should I just look for another 600?

Ummm... 400 FTW! But... if you're not comfortable on it, it's kind of a moot point. Go with the 600 in that case.

Brandon, as someone who has both a 400 and 600, is there a very noticeable difference in frame size/riding position?

Well, assuming the rearsets were stock and the clip-ons were in the stock position (neither of which is true on my 400), I think the ergonomics are fairly comparable. The 400 is a tad bit shorter though so that's a consideration. The way my 400 is set-up (and being as small as I am), I'm basically sprawled out across the tank. Makes going full-tuck a piece of cake.

I'm 5'11" and I fit on the 400 nicely, but it's a sport bike so "nicely" means "cramped" to the rest of the riding world. I like a tight fit though.

The FZR is a thin bike compared to newer bikes. I now own a 05 GSXR600 and the tank on it is feels so wide compared to the FZR.

Sit on the bike before you buy it...

I'm 6'1 and 240lb, and I love my little FZR250. Mind you, I also used to race a TZ125!

A friend once accused me of looking like a gorilla doing something rude to a rollerskate...

Hey Don,

I think a picture may be in order here...

I don't actually have a lot of pics from my racing days - this is my fave.

I think Brandon needs to reciprocate now.

Nice Don. It's kind of cool to be able to see that picture without having to use a magnifying glass!

Hey Will,

Just so you guys can all have a laugh, I'll try to get a pic of me on my 600 (still putting the 400 back together). Wait! I just remembered that I have a pic from about 20 years ago when I had my '89. Excuse the pony-tailed long hair. LOL!

Enjoy!

Oh, and I would sincerely appreciate it if all of you guys that are over 5'4" tall would stop complaining about not being able to flat-foot on your bikes. Whiners...

We need to show you to all the people who want to lower their bikes and ruin the ground clearance

Cool 600,Brandon.
Not so sure about the hair do thou .

brandon, you hipocrite! i need a magnifieing glass to see YOUR picture!! don look like a monkey f'ing a football

Click the man's pic - oh, look, a link!

I think the most 'wot the?!' aspect of my pic is the left knee, clearly ABOVE the tank...
