Thanks for the positive comments on the bike.. Loved both the boxeye and the foxeye I owned. Only the styling separated those two as both were 2002 bikes. The foxeye was great right up until I parked it next to a friends fazer thou
.. The fz6s was a totally different animal to own and ride. Styling was up to date and suited me as a taller rider. Cold mornings and fuel injection are great. Compared to the other two it feels taughter through the quicker twisty corners. I would have liked at least preload adjustment at the front but can live without it. I also prefer the wider wind protection given by the more substantial fairing. The underseat exhaust does limit storage back there but is sufficient space to carry a tool kit and essentials. It is also great to see a decent width rear wheel rim and 180 tyre. Iv had bigger cc bikes over the years and hasn't really desired the thou fzs. Several friends ride the bigger version but I am a fan of revs and using a gearbox. The fz6s has all that I need..
