Here is an image with my current bike a 2007 FZ6 at my friends house. In the background, is my very first bike, a Ninja 500 that I had sold to my friend after a while.

After that I found a BMW k1200rs at a salvage shop for $1800, All I could see was some damage to the valve cover, and some rashed fairings, I figured it was a good project for the price, Here was when I got the valve cover replaced, and some fairings on ebay ( The fairings turned out to be complete trash and were about 100% bondo on the inside )

The end result, I was able to put it together enough for it to run and take a quick trip around the block, but it was way too big for me, and there was still more work needed. I sold it off to help fund a bike closer matched to my size.

My bike after that was a VFR800. I loved that bike, unfortunately I made a really dumb car purchase and sold it to buy the new car I should have got in the first place :(

I recall a thread on another motorcycle forum where someone was complaining of the same issue.

Here is the thread: http://www.fz6-forum.com/forum/fz6-mods/7112-galfer-galfer-responds.html

edited for content: This is my bike that was sitting in the garage for way too long, finally got the urge to get it back on the road. Did a test ride, but still waiting for DMV Paperwork before I can really ride it.

Whelp, this is a drat disaster. I thought that having the open case was necessary, but nooooope. Nothing but windnoise and bullshit.

Here it is anyway, 26 minutes of constant wind noise. Oh well, I'll try better next time.

I have a video that's about the same on my hard drive. I was trying to do a separate mic, but apparently the adapter I had didn't work so I had wind noise audio and occasionally me talking to myself at stoplights.

Picked this up last weekend, and got to sneak in a quick ride today. I was looking at R1150R's initially because I liked the looks of them, but this R1200R was listed for roughly the same price, though I did have to take a short trek to get it.

Also pictured, a random purple spray painted rock.
