I know where you can find a great deal on a barely used 2009 Yamaha FZ6.

Stupid question;

Why the fuck did you buy it in the first place?

I hear front end swaps are pretty common with those bikes... I guess I see why...

Looks like an 03/04 R6 fork, with probably softer springs & less adjustability. Then on top of that, you have high bars, and probably a ghey 60-series front tire.

I wanted another standard that I could outfit with hard cases for touring/commuting duty. I have no previous experience with this model, so I had to base my decision to buy on magazine articles and the reviews of others.

I wasn't limiting myself to just the FZ6, but this one had extremely low mileage at a decent price.

I really wanted a Triumph Bonneville, but I couldn't find any for the right price.

Hmmm, wish this was a couple months down the line. I was looking at the Z750S or FZ6 direction for my next bike. But more toward the Z. There is one at a used dealer in my area for $3900 right now.
