Not even really looking for a street bike but if I could get one for a case of beer I'll take it!

Ha ha - good thing I checked this thread again
Couldn't do the cruiser route - I tried but just didn't feel right. However, there was a nice little 2011 FZ-6 - with low, low kms - 2011 - beautiful burnt orange colour - Corbin seat - and dealer would let it go within my budget - SO!
Once again the heart overules the head - still fits my criteria for downsizing and I'm not a very big person, so maybe I won't drop this one right, left and center
As for the kind souls who want to take the FZ1 off my hands - actually this is an option - dinner not necessary. This bike is kind of a rat bike, but if someone wants to haul it away and do whatever with it - they are welcome to boogie down to Hamilton and take a look at it. I really feel the bike is not roadworthy right now - I'm not sure what can be parted from it, actually I suspect the engine is the strongest part of the bike, the body is pretty sorry.
If I were good at body work, I might want to have fun with this bike as a project bike - when there's nothing to lose, the options are unlimited - strip it down and make it a muscle bike - or run it into the ground at the track.
It would save me having to scrap it - just be prepared for me to throw myself on the bike and cry a little - we've had 160,000 together - ridden through dust storms in the deserts of New Mexico - navigated mountain passes in the Rockies in Colorado - set a record for being the slowest bike on the Dragon
Its been a damn good bike - would love to see someone able to still get some use from it - even if for parts or project bike. I don't want to sell it.

My offer stands, even if you don't want dinner....
If the rims, front end, and other bits are good, I was looking at swapping them onto my 85 FZ750....
I have a buddy in Hamilton, he can swing by with his trailer, if and when you are ready to let it go..
Can you possibly post a picture of the bike ? I know they are all over the net, but not of yours....

I would love to have that bike to play around with. I would even pay for it if you are ready to scrap it. If you don't want money I can owe you a favor whenever you need something.Ha ha - good thing I checked this thread again
