Yamaha FZ6 Review

Review of the FZ6 by Yamaha. Feel free to leave any feedback or questions in the comments section.

Riding without proper safety gear can be hazardous and is not recommended. The riding you see here was done by a trained(ish) semi-professional on a closed course.

First song is Kyushu by Mrs. Evergreen.
Second song is Raven by Jamie Salisbury.
All rights to their respective owners. I just liked their songs! Thanks for watching.

Been riding for over 40 years brought one of these babys over 4 years ago, when my last bike was stolen, and guess what still have it now, so says alot. your comments are spot on second hand bargains everywhere, it has plenty of power for real world riding and yes once above 8k she wakes up and goes, use her mainly for commmuting these days, but have soft luddage and its a good bike for weekend touring, the tank range is great if ridden sensibly gets 250 miles, your right its a good ride " jack of all trades master of none " but for the money hard to beat, plus best of all get off still after 4 years with a smile on my face lol

Been riding since 67 and the 6 is the best all around I ever had. 55k, replaced a tires or 2, chains, fork seal and some oil. Runs better than new because I painted it in the fastest color. Black.

Bought an 04 yesterday with modded exhaust and it’s amazing!!! Plenty fast enough and high end torque. Handles great and is very comfortable

The year of the bike is so important when you make a review, many dont get that point.

I have one naked model S2 ABS since 2009, more than 10 years now with it, and i still love everyday that i go to the garage to turn it on and go to work or anywhere for that matter. I use it everyday, is my daily commuter and i have tested a lot of 600s and liter bikes, and i am still in love with my FZ6.

I don't typically comment on videos but this was just a very well executed video. For a channel with under 500 subscribers your quality outdoes those with millions. Great video

Absolutely love my 2007 Yamaha Blue FZ-6. Two mods I'd highly recommend - install a clutch release arm from a Yamaha MT-07. It's a little longer than the factory one and will help reduce the stock heavy clutch feel. Secondly, get a Scorpion exhaust! I got the round stainless model from SportsBikeShop in the UK. Cost me just under $450 shipped to the USA and it fit perfectly. The craftsmanship was impeccable as well. With the baffles in, it's just barely louder than stock. However, take the baffles out, and experience pure eargasms! I still can't help but laugh every time as I rev it up past 8, 000 rpm, it sounds so freaking amazing! And it looks so much better than the factory exhaust with the tiny little tailpipes, IMO.

Best review of the bike I've seen yet, appreciate everything about this

I have one and love it. It isn't brilliant at anything, but it is consistent at everything.

[Billyg]

I still have my 2005 FZ6 LOVE it to bits a real bike.

Clear, concise and informative. Cheers.

excellent presentation, have mine 6 years, got forks re built, ohlins rear, I new exhaust, look in a direction point and squirt, I dropped teeth in the rear, you say she aint a master of one trade but jack of many, Blood this bike is well capable on track too, "When money is spent and it's set to your balance" Great video dude 👍🏽

I had a 2005 for 6 years. Amazing place to start your riding career as long as you're self disciplined and have good throttle control. It's such a puppy dog lower in the rev range but an animal when you kick it. This is a good review. However, in my experience, the wind screen is designed specifically so that every bug you approach hits you directly in the face. It's ridiculous to ride this without a full face helmet. But to each their own.

Got a 2007 a few months ago and its neck and neck when it comes to my friends 2012 r6, amazing bike for such a great price

[neilhamill]

The first things I noticed were the exhaust ends up and the chunky rear tyre. 👍👍 and the burnt orange and black pin stripes with all black engine and box. That was enough for me so I bought it FZ6N

After owning a bunch of regular supersport bikes I bought a 1st gen FZ1 and it instantly became my favorite bike. I've rode it in two trackdays and set my best times with it. I can actually corner better with the higher and wider bars because it's easier to control and the bike feels more agile and maneuverable.

On the street you appreciate the more comfortable position and little things like the large fuel capacity and helmet lock. Not to mention the centerstand. I'm looking at a low mile '08 FZ6 for $2500 for mainly the track, you can get these bikes dirt cheap. With the suspension resprung and revalved and the forks raised 10mm it would be perfect. Its sad that bikes like this are now ugly fully naked bikes with no wind protection.

This was the best all around motorcycle I ever owned. I should never have sold it. It did big tours in relative comfort, and sans luggage, was a comfortable R6.153mph. Allegedly.

I’ve seen this video like three times lol I keep coming back to it every time I think about this bike. Whenever I’m in the market for one I can’t find one . now I have one bike I’m trying to sell and one of these just came up for sale in this exact color for 2500 bucks

[ErikSeastead]

Thanks for the review. I was thinking of getting a 5th gen VFR800 as my second bike but now I’m thinking I’ll have one of these instead. They’re a lot easier to come by, and lighter.
