Flew one-way to Philly Wednesday evening to pick up my wife's new ride, A 2009 Yamaha FZ6R. It was a HELL RIDE, 300 miles of cold, followed by 700 miles of driving rain, but I made it home, soaked to the bone, @330 AM. Probably my hardest ride thus far.

Sean,

YOU da' MAN. Did some REALLY cold rides, but that was when I was in my 20's

So Mrs. Rydor is going for the upgrade, eh? Cool.

Wish Cathy would consider getting her endorsement. But she is a dedicated passenger. That was the second factor that kept me from a K1300S.

Great looking ride, but almost looks like flames on there.

Sean,

Compared to your epic journey, I had a much nicer ride home on Jen's ZX6R last fall.

But Mrs. Rydor's new bike looks great.

Rydor,

How loud is that exhaust? I know that there is a muffler element under the engine, but the outlet looks a bit chopped off.

Wait a minute- I just realized who I asked- I think we first heard you a mile or so away as you arrived at HM III Laughing

Lemme' rephrase that- is it much louder than stock?

John

Quite the cool lookin bike. With the proper rider, I'd bet it would smoke the k11 off the line. Shocked

Power to weight ratio. Cool

My brother had a 97 ninga 600 that had only been piped, jetted, and lightened by the intillation of titanium hard ware. Stupid fast! Twisted Evil

I know he tracked it, when he did it was too fast for him to ride without a special race classed licence and insurance to race the bike. He never persued it further.

The Yamaha is bone-stock, brand new. Smooth and quiet as a church mouse. I'm pretty sure the only mod she'll get is a higher windscreen.
