Yamaha FZ6R: The BEST Beginner's Bike! 

I sold my FZ6R for a 2012 R1 Anniversary Edition. Still watch you vids I miss my FZ6R so much wish I didn’t sell it. Best beginner bike ever

Got a 2013 fz6r with zero miles in 2015 for $5k, have over 18k miles on it now, live near Chicago and did a long trip around Lake Michigan with it, upright seating position, kept my handle bars. Amazing bike to commute to work and cruise the country with.

I loved mine! Guy that bought it lives right down the street from me so we go out and ride so at least I still get to see her. The only other down side I would say is there is not a lot of customization for this bike compared to the r6. There is a fair amount you can do but not as much as other 600cc. Good video once again my brother!!

Nicely done love the POV between the two riders. Such a unique bike sad Yamaha did not listen to the buyers positive input.

Fantastic engine, beautiful stock sound exhaust, perfect gearing. Just freaking heavy!

I learned on a FZ6R and I agree with everything you stated. Thank you.

awesome video just subbed, I'm a biker too and I'm getting a fz6 soon, I really want a inline 4 but something comfortable and sounds like a supersport

I bought my 2011 with 8,000 miles and a clean title for only $1500 back in 2018, it was my first bike and I saved a good bit of money for mods. I learned to ride on that bike, but after three years I’m wanting to upgrade to a full fledged supersport. I’m hoping I’ll get lucky again and be in the right place at the right time.

Just bought this bike as my first bike, 2009 with 25000 km’s on it. It’s a great bike, just quite heavy!

First bike for me, used at 58K. I have Dad-Biked her with top and side cases. However, with cases I have hit 125 mph at 9K rpm without a power commander or anything done by me other than dual pole sparks, or I am not a tall or beefy guy (5'8" @ 175lbs)? Need to get a better seat, but I love that it is so flickable as needed. New forks and steering bearing help after 60K miles. I love the woshing sound when accelerating at about 7-8K rpm and the warble at 2.5K rpm. Life long bike for sure.

I learned on a '93 Seca II, which is essentially the first generation of what became the FZ6R. It was easy to learn on. There are a lot of great options with smaller engines now, such as the Ninja 400, the R3, but you guys did a great job of nailing the advantages of the FZ. Starting on something with ABS and something much lighter would be a consideration, though.

Awesome content brother! I just got a FZ6R as my starter bike and I’m loving it! Also where can I get a handle bar like yours?

Great video! Does the fz6r share a lots of part with other fzs? I think the fz8 has inverted forks. A swap would be cool and probably cheaper then going the aftermarket route.

Man this is cool keep it up I love it

I am in the process of buying a 2012 fz6r with 5300 miles now, can't wait!

Just bought a 14' Fz6r for 4k with low miles, im a beginner aswell & i love it so far

I’m selling my HD 883 Sportster, my first bike, this weekend. Looking to get my forever sportbike. Something practical and fun. I’ve ridden CBR 300s, Ninja 650s, and a CBR600F4i. I loved the F4i, but it was too much of a jump in power for me, too twitchy. The 300 was the opposite, not enough bike, especially for my hour long commute to work. I think come spring I’m going to try and find a decent used FZ6R. It seems to check all the boxes.

Just got a new mt0 3 months ago but I kept forgetting 2009 fz6r with 24,000mi and I will keep it after riding my mt10 its very slow but its still a great bike soild reliability great bike

Great video!!! Keep up the good work!

This is the bike I'm learning on, 2011 fz6r. It is pretty sweet!

Greetings from Canada. For 36 years now I’ve been riding the YZ, SRX, and APEX. One would think I should have the R1, well I don’t. I to have the 2013 FZ6R. I don’t own a Yamaha for its top speed, rather Yamaha’s performance. The models listed above, none carry any restrictions as to riding preferences. And a top performance toy is actually kinda hard to operate in metropolitan areas. The FZ6R shines in this area of operation. It’s not lacking in agility, handling, and required performance. A top performance model commands respect, and input. The FZ6R is what makes riding FUN.....

Just purchased a 2011 FZ6R with 17,000 miles, I’m beyond excited for this to be my first bike & im happy to know it’s got plenty of power but not too much to make you pop a wheelie

my cousin just scored a clean '09 FZ6R in a trade for a crappy car. He really wants me to start riding it to learn and get experience on street bikes because i have none, but i am nervous about learning to ride on the street. i do however have years of experience riding dirt bikes (mostly 250cc 2-strokes) off road so im not completely inexperienced with motorcycles. .

I just upgraded from my R3 to a 2012 FZ6R. Love it.

I want a zx6r. But would this be a good bike to learn on and then hop onto the Z? Thanks.

Nice content guys upgrading from200 adv .

ur the reason why i bought this bike last week

Just bought a 2012 FZ6R with 7k miles for $3400. Absolutely love it

I just turned 17 and bought a 2013 fz6r no riding experience and I found that the bike was as crazy on power also probably thinking that cuz it’s my first and I haven’t even went up past 7000rpm but the bike seems super heavy for me not sure if I wanna keep it to learn on for that reason

I’ve been riding a grom for a year as my first bike you think this is a good jump to take that bike???

i contest to its reliability I commute 100 miles one way to work 4 days a week and the only problem i have ever had was 1 relay malfunctioning

All these comments and nobody upvoted you? Bruh. This is heresy. I shall be the first! Nice compilation btw! Kudos to you both.

I put a full 2 bros exhaust on mine, with a pc5,and k and n air filter and took the derestricter plate off got mine over 100 hp ,is there any thong else I can do to increase power

good video, thank you

Where does your bike top out on speed? I had a nice straight away and wanted to see what it could do, I hit 209km/h. Isn't that a little low? I'm super light myself, I'm 120lb.

So, currently have a 2020 Kawa Z400, wanting to trade up into something a bit sportier, would this, a 2009 fz6r be a solid trade up? P-twin vs inline-4, 44hp vs 68~. Both still beginner bikes but I've been riding for a year and I just want something different.

I like this bike .. looking to buy one

should I buy this as my first bike? found a really cheap offer

I learned how to ride on a 2000 ZX12R lmao, then my first bike was a 2003 Suzuki SV1000s, now i have a Suzuki Bandit GSF1250s, now I'm thinking of selling my Bandit for a FZ6R.

i love the fazers style bikes but my is a 07 fz6 and it has more hp then the fz6r is kinda strange my bike has 96hp its a street touring and its awsome

I just bought a fz6r from Austin. I like it so far. I mainly ride it on base, ft hood. It over heats often tho

I’m looking to buy this bike as my first beginner bike

So between this and the CB650R which do you prefer? Can you make a video comparing them?

How do you guys share video? Keep these coming

I’m looking for this bike here in Canada (Toronto) the price is around 4.000-5.000. But The insurance cost 200 month. With 1000 deductible. 1 year with license m2 and rider training with 31 yy.

Love your videos man I also own a Fz6r do you ever have weird chain noises?

Why does your FZ6R have like 30 Less hp than my FZ6 S2 Fazer? Both are 600s. Isn’t yours supposed to be sportier and faster

I’m pretty sure these are cheaper than the 650r and 600f as well too

Y’all sayin I could retune my fz6r to move like an r6

It's heavy for a sport bike, but compared to the cruisers I used to ride its light af

I disagree ice had so many problems with this fz6r bike I got and it only had 1700 miles on it when I got it

Brooo your in waco lets ride

your videos kill it

i thought i was buying a super sport when i got mine but i’m super happy it wasn’t my little bro has a CBR. RR. and i hate it fz6r is way better but to each their own. fyi little bro is on a Harley now🤑🤮lol

If you're not starting on a busa your doing it wrong.

This "Blahkay" guy is really annoying
