roninracing Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hey all. Finally coming back home to Yamaha after 10 Years of Suzukis, Kawasakis and Hondas. Had two SVs - 650 & 1000, Ex500, GSXR 750 and finally made a deal to trade my CBR 1000 Friday. Started out racing RD400s in WERA then did a 180 bike wise and ran the SV1000 in the heavyweight twins class. Really enjoyed the way the v twin put the power down but did well enough that I was talked into running in the 750 superbike class. Did OK in superbike but it was one of those classes that you need to spend a lot...lot of $$$$ to be competitive. Sold the GSXR and bought the shiny, shiny CBR1000 when Honda redesigned it in 2008. What an uncomfortable, unreliable POS. Awesome bike for the track and twisties but a horribly uncomfortable sddtreet bike. So, why am I spending all this time telling you all my bike life story... Because like you all, I'm more excited about this bike than anything I've seen for years. I hope to learn from and contribute to the forum and look forward to sharing/hearing about experiences with the FZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roninracing Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Welcome and congrats. Where are you purchasing from in Atlanta? I got mine at the end of June at Marietta Motorsports.Is Opie still there? If I had known Marmo had them I'd've bought it from them. I had to walk out on a deal at Mountain Motorsports to get them to agree to my price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roninracing Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I'm really excited about the new FZ and think it has a lot of potential. My bike is coming from a warehouse in Tennessee but I was told I'd have it by weeks end. Perhaps the Gods will smile on me and it will stop raining here in Atlanta long enough to get some seat time this weekend. Ive used the Motoman break in method on all my bikes. I'll post up the process in another thread but it almost guarantees a couple extra HP. Before I get too long winded...I just want to thank everyone again and may you always hit the apex and keep the rubber side down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted August 11, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted August 11, 2014 Ronin, we have a tread about the MotoMan method of break-in as well as other break-in ideas. Guru, can you post the link here (I need to learn how to do that). Motoman break in thread ~Hippie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev1360 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I'm looking at getting one from them also. What kind of deal did you get ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
