I love when you talk about the FZ6. It's such an overlooked gem. Great power that's manageable, comfy ergos, SUPER reliable R6 based engine, and it doesn't look half bad.

" Cracked Seats Filled With Gooch Juice there went my coffee, all over my phone. Thanks Papa Yam.

not gonna lie to you yammie, where i come from, a 10 year old bikes are often in great condition while 10 year old cars have more rust than my underwear after almost t-boning a car

Poppa Yam hates on 600s more than Harleys now... it’s a crazy world... 😰

[psychoorocker]

Awesome! My first bike is an FZ6-S, which I bought six month ago. Was waiting for Yammie to boost my good sense 👌

1:07 This is not a "catapult"... This is a glorious trebuchet!! A powerful siege engine able to throw a projectile of 90kg(198lb) to 300m(328 yards) thanks to a brilliant couterweight system!! (otherwise, nice video)

I bought an 06 fz6 for $2500 about 7 years ago to introduce me to sport bikes since all I had ridden was dirt bikes and klrs. It's still runs great and has been a fantastic beginner bike that not only taught me but my husband and a few friends as well!

[superdude]

Just picked up my FZ6 as my first bike and was happy to see it listed here as a good option! Would’ve eased my mind 2 months ago when i was making the decision lol. Mine is a little pricier with lower miles and a fz6n conversion but it’s been a ton of fun.

7:41 That was my first motorcycle! Totaled it right out front of my high school in 08 LOL

Talk to local mechanics about bikes for sale. They know everyone. My mechanic helped me get a mint 1991 honda cb750 for $500 as a starter bike
Edit: I got it cheap because the seller wasn't concerned about making money. They just wanted to help someone fall in love with the sport

I pulled the trigger on a Buell Blast 500 that was listed as a nonrunner at a sketchy car dealership/ gun store in south tucson. Bringing Buddy back to life was a wonderful experience and i feel a bond with the bike now thats hard to describe. I highly reccomend saving or bringing a bike back to life

Doubled it and got a 2015 Yamaha FZ-07 for $5k. Just finished the MSS course yesterday and I'm getting my license today. Just starting out my biking adventure!

[elbichomio]

I have the same exact bike on the thumb nail. Its a 05 yamaha fz6s galaxy blue. And it's my first bike. Fast and super reliable! I put 14, 000 in 4 yrs. It has 32, 000 miles and rides like new.

[sasquatchrides]

If you want a cheap beginner cruiser, get a Honda Shadow. You can find cheap ones all day and they are super easy to work on.

Beginners, consider the Suzuki DR 200: Simple and hilarious 🔥

It’s my third bike and I still have a blast riding it! 20HPs of go-anywhere happiness. Can reach ~75 (depending on what you had for breakfast) 🤣

Living in Michigan I always forget that there are states that have mandatory vehicle inspections 🤷‍♂️

05 FZ6 is my first bike. Looks exactly like the one in the thumbnail. Only put about 400 miles on it, but it's been great so far. So happy to see it as the thumbnail! :D

[drewmoto]

The FZ6 was my first bike almost 3 years ago and I want another one 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Such a good machine. Scooped a mint one for $2k from a guy in the Air Force whose wife didn’t want a motorcycle around because they just had a daughter. Those are the circumstances you gotta look for to get a good deal 🙌🏼

[Kunivaaaa]

I bought a 300€ beginner motorcycle and it's running just fine. Don't let your dreams be dreams

[djlancer]

I spent 3k on a Fz6 with 30k miles but man she is near mint for the age. Engine is solid and full of power. Been riding it for over a month now with no regrets. I may have over payed but to me it was worth it. I know the dude was not going any lower. He owned it for 10 years and you could tell he really didnt want to get rid of it. I am the 3rd owner. FInding decent bikes around here isnt all great and I wasnt about to let someone else get it.

I didnt ask any questions besides when can I come look at it.
