I own a 2006 fz6 with 23,000 miles on it. It still rides like new. I put a Givi 52 box on it (the largest available) with brake lights, metal rack on top and a back rest for my wife and passengers. I get 45 mpg´s and go 0 to 60 in about 3 seconds. I hope to tour on it alot and I currently commute on it with several musical instruments on the bike and in the box. (I´m a music teacher and musician.) I think this is one of the best buys in the whole motorcycle industry.
