So I'm looking at a 58 fz6. It looks in decent nick, only a few scrapes on the fairing. Has done 25000, is there anything to look out for specifically, anything that's likely to need doing shortly...
So I'm looking at a 58 fz6. It looks in decent nick, only a few scrapes on the fairing. Has done 25000, is there anything to look out for specifically, anything that's likely to need doing shortly on terms of expensive maintenance etc? Any advice would be great Cheerssuggest you test ride bike before commiting. Think you will find it isnt any better than what youre currently riding. I bought one a few years ago but sold it 5 months later. You could always spend a bit upgrading your current bike. eg Braided brake lines, improved suspension. Its got to be a good bike to beat the Boxeye/Foxeye.In your situation I would either upgrade to a low mileage Foxeye or as said spend a bit on the current bike. IMO FZ6 was not a step forward other than to comply with Euro 4 emissions ( fuel injection rather than carbs). Brakes are not as good as the blue spots.

. . . I was aiming for something newer as my 00' fzs has become a bit of a money pit and I'm hoping to avoid that.
Hey all, thanks for the comments. Interesting read, definitely going to think about it.I was aiming for something newer as my 00' fzs has become a bit of a money pit and I'm hoping to avoid that. Also with rumours of older bikes being charged in London soon, I was taking into account that as well. Cheers
In a not too dissimilar dilemma to yourself, what do I swap my 2003 FZS600 for when the ULEZ comes into force. Will definitely be in place in 2020 for the congestion charge area of London. With some movement on it possibly coming in earlier and being extended to area within North/Soutch circulars.
