Hello, Forums

#1 Unread post by Hutch »

My name is Hutch. I had a 05 R6 for 7 years and sold it when financial times were rough. It's been 5 years and I can finally get back into the saddle. I bought a 2017 FZ-07 and have been loving it. It's a very nimble and fun bike to lean into the curves with. I feel it handles the corners better than the R6 did, or it feels more 'planted' or maybe it's just new bike feel I donno. If you're in the Raleigh, NC area send me a message if you need a riding buddy.

Hi Hutch! Welcome to TMW, you've come to the right place. Post some pictures of that FZ, and any you still have of the R6 for that matter, we love pics around here! Check out the Member Motorcycle Blogs for some good reading and maybe start one of your own. We're glad to have you!

Hi Jack, Thanks! I do have a pic of the R6 the day I brought it home...somewhere, I think. I'll snap a pic of the FZ today. I have read a few of the blogs they were all so great I'm glad to be here!

As promised, here's a shot of the FZ-07 at a lake on the way home. Kinda sad I couldn't post a larger version of the picture. Hope you enjoy 8)
