TonyKZ1 - Thanks for the compliment. I agree the center stand is great. Parking in the garage will take less room with two other bikes and my wife can still get to her gardening stuff

, and chain maintenance for sure will be easier! Still racking up the miles on your 250 Ninja I see, based on your comments on the 250 Ninja thread. It seems I saw a post that you were considering a different bike? The FZ6 I found was a lucky find, but required being quick otherwise it would have gotten away. I had considered other similar bikes including SV650, CBR - F series bikes and a few others. I really like the FZ6 so far!
THB - I've been over on the FZ forum, but for some reason it really runs slow on my computer (compared to ADVrider anyway). It certainly looks like it would be a great resource though. Thanks!
