Hi all!

[Robbus]

Time for a quick intro, I picked up my 02 Foxeye 600 yesterday. It's my first big bike and after buzzing around on a Varadero 125 for nearly 2 years it's a revelation that a speedo can go past 70 (non-specific speed units  ) I did just under 130miles non-stop from Leicestershire to East Yorkshire and it just ate them up.


No doubt I'll be shortly found in 'general' asking dumb questions  :lol


Cheers,
Rob

Welcome to the forum Robbus, i am sure there have been plenty dumb questions asked on here and a few more still to come so dont be afraid, everyone on here will only take the piss for a little while!
:useless  Get some pics of the bike up and have a good time and enjoy the extra power!

Lets hope it's Blue, the fastest colour,,,

Tsk, so many misguided people on here under the illusion that blue is faster than silver! Shame some have been brought up with so many misguided ideas ......

This is a shame 








Blue and shiny it is!

Ah so you believe blue is faster, DOH!

Hi welcome to the loooony bin.

Nice looking bike, nice combo of bits on it

Seems everyone on here just looks for a reason to argue about colours,
I think strip away these fancey colours, what you left with, BLACK, they are the real fast ones !!!  :lol

Enjoy the machine

Hi Robbus! Were you on the Vara 125 forum too?

Welcome aboard, fella! The FZS is a bit faster than a Vara, eh?  :lol :lol

That's me! So I'm not the only ex-Vara owner to have good taste then?


How are you finding yours? I'm definitely liking the fact that I'm going over 60 before I realise it rather than egging it on to get to 60  :lol


Cheers,
Rob

[JZS 600]

That's a fast bike you have there!

I was last on the Vara forum last October, if our threads ever crossed! Mines on 33 brake, but still has incredible pace. I miss the Vara's fuel efficiency though!!

Yep, it's been a while since I posted there too, not much traffic really! I'm still getting used to containing the bike's power as it get's up to licence worrying territory remarkably fast!  :eek  How much longer have you got on 33bhp?


Think it needs a carb tune as it's a bit of a pig at slow speeds, very lumpy and snatchy (to use technical terms) in first but smooths out over 3k, could just be me though being ham-fisted!


Cheers,
Rob
