2007 Yamaha FZ6 – My Long Term Review

Today I give you guys my thoughts as I do a long term review of my 2007 Yamaha FZ6 motorcycle! Sad day to do this, as I have decided to sell it, but happy to see it go to one of my best friends. I have been riding it for almost 5 years now and have loved every moment. It is a good-looking bike, it is a fricken STUD as far as reliability, and it is a lot of fun. I have loved every moment with this bike. A few more videos to come!

IF YOU'RE NEW HERE: Welcome. This is my 2007 Yamaha FZ6.

In my opinion, this is the best bike for money period.
98 hp out of the box and it revs like hell, while you're comfortable.
I just tuned mine up for this season, I'm sad to see yours go, brother.

Down tuned 2004 R6 motor and brakes, what else can a person ask for, it's a brilliant bike, getting mine in a couple of months

Hey there Inja,

I bought my mint condition 2006 FZ6 2 1/2 years ago as my first street bike. I did a ton of research ahead of time and you were a major factor in my purchase decision. I'm super sad to see you sell yours, but wanted to just say Thanks for the info and help you've provided along the way. I wouldn't have owned this bike without you!

I'll stay subscribed and keep watching your videos because frankly, you just seem like a good person. Keep the vids coming! :)

I bought my 2009 FZ6 at the beginning of the summer, $3, 000 with only 2, 000 miles on it, I absolutely love it!!

Got a 2007 in black back in November. I'm so glad to hear that it's such a good beginner bike, since many of my friends kept telling me 600cc was too big. I'm gonna miss your maintenance vids, though

It is a gorgeous looking bike, one of the best of the last 25 years.

Just got a 2004 fz6 with 8k miles and rebuilt the forks new chain sprocket ⚙️fluids and she’s running like a charm this is a great bike I’ve put about 1000 miles on her since last week 😅I can’t stop riding her

You sold me! First bike after Honda CB400SS 40 yrs ago. At age 60 now, I can enjoy riding hours without backaches. Don't need to drag a knee or approach 14, 000 rpm to have fun. This bike does it all!

Hey, really happy I found your site. I have this exact same bike. Same year, color etc. Bought it privately last summer for $3800 (Canadian ie about$2850 US) Only 3500 original KM on it, so looked like it just came off the showroom floor. Doing the math, the original owner was logging an average of 320 KM per year, or about 200 miles. I have no regrets. Just reinstalled the battery day before yesterday, turned the key, pushed the starter button and boom, fired instantly. This is not my first bike, but I have not ridden since 2006 when I was nearly killed on my Honda V65 Magna. Took me a lot of years to get the courage back up to ride again. I wasn't sure what I wanted in a bike, but when I test drove a 600 sport bike, I was astonished at the power. I'm sure it would keep up to my old Magna which, back in the 80's was the fastest production motorcycle available. So I decided a 600 would be all the bike I want or need. Then I came across your twin and for the price and insanely low mileage, it was a steal. I put 2600 KM on it last summer, which was almost the same as the original owner over the course of 11 years. And I bought it in August! Well, I'm 62 years old and couldn't be happier with this bike. Like you said, great for puttering around town, but is a rocket when you need it to be. Expect I'll be keeping mine for many years to come. Thanks for your videos. Lots of really good info. Cheers!

I just bought a 2008 fz6 that was dropped (only scratched a bit) so I got a great deal and I think I'm in love. Have only ridden it for the two hour ride home in the cold rain but not even that couldn't ruin the experience. I had only ridded an 1100cc shadow sabre before this and it is a dream. I love this bike and expect to love it for years based on your videos. Speaking of your videos thanks for all the maintenance videos I'm sure they will come in handy!

[skylarpeppler]

I bought a modded 05 fz6 just over a month with 17000 miles for $1300. I've already done over 1000 miles and I'm in love with it. Wish I had the black frame and motor though.

[jsmcguireIII]

Same bike here. Took off most of the rattly plastic and made it naked. Other mods and repairs were fun and easy. It reminds me of my Toyota trucks - reliable, affordable and easy to work on. One thing you mention that is very true is there is another machine lurking in the upper RPM's. When you unleash that power it is always a surprise. With Michelin Road 5 tires handling improved significantly. Only one small complaint is I am 6'1" and it does feel slightly undersized compared to other bikes I've ridden over the years. Take care brother!

[ogcopckaz]

Got mine last year, S2 2007, blue color with just 620 miles on the clock. Beautiful bike and comfortable even for tall lads. I'm 6 5 btw. Thanks for all the cool vids man!

[SumPixelz]

Thnx for the review, this is one of the best ones. I fell in love with this bike the moment I saw it. Want to get it ones I can finish my driving licence exams, which you know, is something I can't do right now...

[sufihakim]

FZ6S S2 08’ owner here for about a year. Your videos has been very educational for me. Sad to see the bike moving to a new owner!

[michaelmeyer]

I've got the same bike and rode it for 40.000Km in the past 2 years. I love my bike while it never broke down.

[lopezdad]

I've always wanted an FZ6 or an FZ1.... but back in 2011 I ended up getting the FZ6R as my 1st bike. It was by no means a bad choice though....she has served me very well almost 8 years later with nearly 50, 000 miles! But tbh, I feel that any Yamaha motorcycle is a winner in my book.

[ssswiftly]

I just got me my 2004 FZ6 i am super stoked

[hrusa]

Had blue 06 loved it, Maine to key west trip with sidebags. Camped out, great adventure.

[neilhamill]

I totally agree. That's the reason I have owned two naked version's FZ6N. 06 and 07 model's
