I miss my FZ6. :(

I would be interested in grabbing that front end for my own SV but I'm not sure I want to be anywhere near this thing :D

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-street-cruisers-choppers/thunder-bay/2017-vulcan-s-abs/1367930053?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Anybody want to pay more than MSRP for a used bike? Pretty sure if you found a 2017 sitting around on a showroom somewhere, you could probably get it after tax for less...

Isn't it just pronounced like "curtis"? Or am I wrong

FWIW, a buddy of mine has gone though several bikes (he can't seem to keep one for longer than a year or so) and he says the FJ-09 is the best all around bike he's owned so far.

I looked into this when I first started riding - I could be mistaken but I believe riding in the "parking" lane is 100% legal as long as you are able to fit your entire vehicle within your lane. Parked vehicles are not considered "vehicles" on the road in this context, so you are not sharing a...

Joe you got the bike back on the road?

Because that's the market value of the bike :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

It's just for decoration, not for eating

If we're still talking about the FZ6, I don't know if I agree with you on the fueling and suspension. I think the 2007/2008 models had improved fueling but the earlier bikes (04?-06) had rather poor mapping at the beginning of the throttle range. Very abrupt on/off feeling, which wasn't really...

Maybe... If only the SV made 20-25 more HP and didn't feel like it was gonna vibrate itself into pieces every time the engine lugs a bit :D

Upper body-wise, pretty much the same thing as the FZ6. I actually had the FZ1 bar on the FZ6 which moves the controls slightly down/forward, not sure which is more aggressive. But I noticed pretty quickly the SV's rearsets are further back so your feet are much more under your butt than on the...

It does look good, but definitely not worth $5500. Or at least I don't think it is.

Kicking a car while on a motorcycle could teach you a very important physics lesson...

For whatever it's worth, I ended up picking up a naked SV650. Cleanest SV I've come across personally, and almost bone stock!

I'd also add for the 650s, it'd be at the bottom of that range while the naked ones seem to be on the higher end for whatever reason.

Just to clarify insurance - I'm insured with Aviva and Aviva has a policy of limiting newer riders (0-5 years I believe?) to 750cc, regardless of bike type. ​(And no SS, etc) Yes I could leave Aviva and get a difference insurer, but I was told I would have to pay 40% of my annual premium to...

I was told "declined" when I asked (Dalton Timmis)

Inquired with insurance, was told it's a no-go unfortunately

Now I'm wondering if it's silly to get something else just for the sake of trying something new. Maybe the FZ6 is the best I can do in price range/middleweight category at the moment...hmm.
