2007 Yamaha FZ6 - My Long Term Review 

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.

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! :)

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

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

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

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!

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...

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

Getting one in 2 days im excited

getting this exact bike as my first bike today !! can't wait for the ride home

I just got me my 2004 FZ6 i am super stoked

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

Just bought one 2007 red, with 8000km

Just bought an 08 great vids cant wait to customize it and get rid of all the stock. Beautul bike! So excited to mod it out woo wee!!

Looking at picking up an FZ6 soon. Thank you for the video

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.

I've owned a few bikes now and this bike seems like the perfect combination/fit for me man. Hoping to grab one this summer

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

trying to find one now...rode an FZR600 back in the late 90s...think this will be a good match for me now.

Favorite bike Ive owned.

Love the mirrors! I have the 08 in the same exact paint job and a blue belly pan.

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.

Thanks man. I'm looking for a good first bike I think I'm gonna go with a FZ 6.

I just picked up a 06 with 5500 kilometers on the odometer. It’s literally like a new bike. While looking up info on these things your videos keep popping up. I’m excited to see what I can do to it and how many kms I can rack up 👌 What’s your favorite mod to yours?

What about its clutch? There's lots of fz6f owners saying that is horrible hard to press?

I have a FZS 600 (2002), And I am loving it, even though it's old.

I bought one last week and shocked how much reaction time it has, great bike so far. Mine is a 2006 with 22,020 miles got a good deal on it.

Shooting for 100k miles on mine. LOVE IT. This thing is a tank.

Great review, great bike, I had one but the naked version.

Hi, where did you find that bottom belly and how much it cost? As i'm the new baked owner of FZ6 and would like to upgrade so any information is more than useful. Thanks

First Bike?!!! Here in the UK you do: A compulsory basic training which enables you to ride a 125cc on the roads as a learner. No more than approx 12 bhp. I recall you have to be at least 17 years old. Then it gets a bit complex regarding where you can go next. If you're below something like 24 years old, you take 3 tests: theory, off road and then on road. You are then restricted to no more the 47 bhp with a specific power to weigh ratio. If you're good enough, you'll get your A2 licence Once you've done that, and you've got two years riding experience or you're over 24, you can do your category A licence, again 3 tests, and if you pass, you can ride anything. I have an Fz6 S2, and no way is it suitable for a new rider, and I've been on the road 42 years.

Ah man!!! I just found this channel!!! And you sold the Fz?! Its AMAZING. Is your buddy gonna do maintenance videos?!

Great video brother and your a great friend to do that for your friend.for a first bike that's a great choice GOD bless you. Safe riding.

All bikes should have Center stands.

I love this video. very useful. my question is how does it feel when you take a passenger? because there is no backrest for the passenger

Great review bro thanks

my complaint is no abs here in USA and vibration from handlebars on long rides. too bad yamaha didnt improve much on the fz8.

Are those passenger pegs stock? Most that I've seen looks like the tubing is welded to the subframe. Yours looks like it's bolted on.

2007 Fz6 low miles, seller said he lowsided it the damage isin't too bad from what I can see. Some paint on the Case cover and a new fairing should do. 1700$ thoughts?

They are really cool motorcycles.

Hi Is it a good bike to learn on?

Kickass video

Nice doggo.

2008 FZ6 for$2500. #37,000 miles though. Should i do it?

But is it customisable???

The more bling the less zing...I have a 1mm chicken strip on the FRONT. Rear's got even sidewall wear. Lean that thing dude.

do you have a link to your revzilla passenger seat handles?

Imma keep it real with you chief, my main bike is an 05 fz6 and its not really a good first bike if you want to survive your first year. Start off with a cheap japanese cruiser, 500 bucks can get you a gs450 or a honda rebel.. 98bhp isn't exactly a beginner bike my guy

Hey Inja, what bars have you got on there man?

How much would you pay for an 06 with 33,000 miles

Saw a 2007 fz6 with a dent in the fuel tank with 20k miles on it for 2300. Worth it?

i wanted it more sporty so - fits lower bars yet leaves the risers in place.

Hi , is this bike comfortable for tall riders, lets say 6.2/6.3

where did you get the belly pan?

I AGREE! thank you Inja for allowing me to buy your baby off of you

fz6 s2 fazer owner maybe in one week :D same color

They say there’s a 20 hp difference or something from 06-07 “the older years are faster.

4hrs? :D drove 580km/8hrs on my 2004 in the Austrian alps last weekend - that hurts;)

Yea Id probably get one for a first bike 🏍🏍

Was this your first bike?

I just wish they had better luggage options better racks

I’m 6,5 220 lbs. do you think This bike is too small for me? If so is there something similar that’s a little bigger? I like the idea of the sport bike that’s a little more upright. I don’t want to lay down on a tank

If my bike sells I'm buying this bike

That lawn man

What are those knee protection things on tank?

Might as well tell us what the error code was

You can't say a negative is that it's not a super sport. It isn't a super sport.

Any two up riding

"tasteful mods" Just slap a fucking decepticon sticker on the front if it lmao

Hey, do you love your bike? 🤣

Where do you get the body pan and signal lights?

Geez dude mow the lawn
