Nice pics, the half fairing starting to grow on me a bit.

I dig it. If it had the two piece seat like the 6R I would like it even more.

I wonder what parts would be needed to convert an FZ6R to the XJ6?

Yeap, noticed that too. I like the 2 piece setup better.

Too bad we cannot get this bike in the US. I'd get it right away. When will Yamaha bring it over

?

I'm new here, and waiting to get the FZ6R instead.

Convert it! Sell your plastics; I'm sure you could make a fair penny on that.

love the "naked" look... the other bike that i really liked was the ducatti monster. but, it's too big, too powerful, and handlebars too low for a newbie like me... lol i wonder how the fz6r looks naked. but, it looks pretty sexy with the fairings too. so, i'm a happy camper either way.

weird isn't it? in europe we get the xj6n (mine) with no fairing and the xj6s with half fairing and you guys over the pond get the full faired fz6r. I think that the fz6r would sell well over here.

i bought the unfaired bike as it was very, very cheap. I'll use it to tour so as long as i can use motorways, autoroutes and autobahns at 80mph im happy.

+still got an fzr1000 for lunacy if i can be bothered (i must be getting old!!!)

Yeah, I saw the xj6 in Europe and would be the ideal bike for around town/neighbourhood. I'm not looking for a sport(y) bike. Ducati Monster is too expensive for what it is. But since I want a Yamaha I'll settle for the faired version then!

Maybe I'll look for spare xj6 parts, lights, etc when I'm over in Europe next. What about Canada, do they get the xj6?
