A new guy from Germany

[riedrider]

Hi,

My name is Guenter  and I am from Germany. My age is 52 and I live in a countryside near Frankfurt/Main called “Ried”.
This is where my nickname comes from 
Over the last years I owned only one- and two-cylinder bikes (I still have a TDM850, a NTV650 and a R100R).
After I sold my NX650 I had to buy a new bike to fill up the inventory 
As a contrast to the twins I chose a 2003 FZS600.
For a short time I was thinking about a FZS1000. But then I made the decision that the small Fazer  has everything I need. And after riding the first miles I knew that I was right.
The only modifications I made are black indicator and rear light and a used Krauser luggage system with K4 topcase and K3 panniers.




Regards
Guenter

If you want to register a vehicle in Germany you can check via internet if a "suitable" plate is available.
But you have to stay in the following restrictions:
The first digits (which I erased on my plates)  show where you are from. And then you have one ore two letters and 2 to 4 numbers.
When you have found one you can reserve it for one week. The costs for this are 12,80 €.
I was often lucky.
Here is the plate of my Porsche 924S:



And here of the rest of my bikes.
TDM850 and NTV650 are o.k. but for the BMW I had to make a compromise.
RR 100 or RR 10 were on my whish list but not available any more.
In Germany they call the old airhead BMWs "Gummikuh" and "Q" in the German pronunciation sounds like "Kuh".
So I chose QR 10 



Regards

Guenter

Welcome Günther,

I guess this is the very best forum for the FZS600.
Are you also member of the german Fazer-Forum?
