YAMAHA FZ6 First Ride | From a 125 to 600!

- I know I start off slow, but as the video progresses you'll see me open it up a bit more. What I'm trying to emphasise is that I've come from a 15hp 125cc bike to this machine! Words cannot describe the power difference but you can probably tell by my reaction (even when just going upto 30 or 40mph) how amazing it feels.
Can't wait for all the future videos with this bike, if you've got any ideas for stuff you wanna see, just whack it in the comments below and I'll see if I can get round to it :p
Hope you enjoyed the video :)

This is one of my favourite videos on the internet. How excited you are at the new power, you can just hear the pure joy. Absolutely love it, hahaha.
Haha yeahh first time on a bigger bike, still remember that moment like it was yesterday 😅
@@DanTheTwoWheeler hahaha, I can imagine it's a memory that'll be kept. Only on a 125 atm, and I know this is exactly how I'll be reacting when I finally get some power under me. It makes me even more excited to get me test past, and the FZ6 will be my first proper bike as well. 😁
I remember 6 months ago i found this video and it inspired to buy myself an FZ6, and it was one of the best decisions i ever made in my life, made my summer one I'll remember for the rest of my life and gave me so many great experiences and memories, idk if you'll be reading this but thank you for showing me this amazing bike, made me realise my love for riding🙏🏾
Heyy, that's so good to hear man. Glad it inspired you, some of the best memories I had was with riding this bike so no doubt you've probably experienced the same. Hope you continue to ride for years to come, stay safe 👊🏼
I spent 10 years riding 125's and just passed my full licence. I bought my fz6 last week. I love my fazer. Ive no regrets at all.
Epic dude, hope you enjoy it!
That's funny I have a 2006 fz6 and I just bought a z125 Kawasaki but I love the FZ too just wanted the small bike to fool around on in town which is much easier than on the FZ
All the goofy laughs and stuff when you twist the throttle. I love all that stuff man. Can't beat the feeling of going to a new, faster bike.
So I just bought an FZ6 today, and this was just exactly how my ride home went. Such a great bike, it felt awesome!
+Rayomand Tata ah congrats man hope you enjoy it :)
It's such a pleasure to watch a man just enjoying his new a lot bigger bike than his previous one. Amazing video. Smile on my face through the entire video!
Thanks dude, appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it 😄
I know this video is old now I still loved watching this, it’s just so relatable I really miss the early days of transitioning to a bigger bike.
Thanks for watching man, appreciate it 🙂
Great video! It took me right back to my first ride of my bigger bike after passing my test 15 years ago. This excitement for me is the reason we get bikes
the little cbf 125 was so frustrating but now i have to keep reigning myself in. a healthy respect for the power is crucial
I've had my FZ6 for three years and I'm still impressed by how much power I can squeeze out of it. I went from a 250 to the FZ6 and I was terrified riding it home from the dealership.
The only time I want something different is when I'm on a long ride. It's not very comfortable after a hundred miles.
Not comfortable as in what? Ass hurts or back hurts?
I really enjoyed your video, it's so nice to see a newly qualified rider experience and appreciate a bigger bike. Welcome to the club. Enjoy your ride and keep safe.
Thanks Andy!
I remember the first time I went from riding my little 125 to my Fazer 600! It was so exciting!!! This video has brought back some very happy memories!
Yeahh to keep those memories, glad you enjoyed it!
Thinking about buying one of these now in 2024. Was in 2 minds before this video. Not any more, I'm having it. Watching the whole video with a smile on my face
Haha, yeah you'll love it man, solid bike 👌🏼
@@DanTheTwoWheeler I love it. The engine is ridiculous for a 600. Super chill at low revs and absolutely mental at high revs
Liking yr videos mate,really want get a bike licence.But had a lot health problems and worries if I've got the strength to even hold up a 125cc.More I watch yr videos the more I want a bike! You give a lot of good info about yr bikes,keep up the good work buddy👍👍stay safe
🤣 My reaction from 125 to 600 was absolutely same🤣
Same here.. 'oh my god'
am getting mine end of year, cant wait, i have been riding a YBR125, am hoping to buy a fazer 600
Same thing going here, from MT 03 to fz6n, Big difference.
2004 Fz6 came out in the USA I bought mine that year. I had a blast on that thing. Super quiet. But very powerful smooth ride. You are right the power is on the top end. Still my favorite ride of all time.
Niceee to see you on a new one 😍
+Trap City Thanks dudee
+Trap City and dude haha can't believe u even watch my channel, just noticed you've got like a million subs 😍
I went from a 125cc to a restricted 600cc Fazer from 2003 and I love it.
I bought Yamaha fz6n 2008 and this is my first motorcycle ever as learner permit, I love this bike but I'm scared also and full respect to this machine. Lots of learning time I need to put but love it
I felt the same when I went from a 125 to a CBF 600 amazing feeling 👍
I came across your video investigating the upgrade from 125cc to 600cc. I could feel your adrenalin and your excitement with a big smile on my face.
Be safe!
Let Christ be by you if ever things are out of control.
Haha thanks for watching dude, appreciate the prayers 🙏🏼
Honestly I can’t believe people recommend this bike as a first bike.. this bike got the power to get you in trouble if your a new rider
Gotta love going from a 125 to 600. I went from a ybr 125 to a cbr 600. Now I have a fz6, I love it so much comfier to ride than the cbr.
I pick up my gsx600f tomorrow, been riding a 125 for the last year....I know I will be this excited when I get on it! Great vid
Ooh nice bike congrats dude, ride safe 👍🏼
I remember that exact feeling 30 years ago, coming from a Suzuki gp100 to a Suzuki gsxf600, it was immense. To be honest I still get the same buzz from riding today and I must admit the little Fazer 6 pleasantly surprised me even as I own a zx9r and zzr1100 too.
Mine is completely standard and I bought it for touring on so I'll leave it as it is.
Your orange and black one looks amazing too.👍
Ace video, I'll definitely subscribe to see more.
Take care, ride easy 👍👍👍
Thanks dude, really appreciate the support. Ride safe!
Went from a Honda Varadero 125 to a 2005 Fazer FZ6 600. I giggled like a school girl going down a dual carriageway. Took it to a ton and bloody hell. I love the sensation.
Hahah yeahh it's the best feeling 😝
I felt the same way about trying my FZ6N for the first time, two weeks later just got my motorcycle license (A), cant wait for it to stop raining to really do more than 500m on this bike!
Yeahh UK weather isn't great for riders tbh, hopefully some clear skies soon!
outstanding vid. i went from a 125cc scooter to a 2007 fz6 3 years ago and still have the bike. it is a fantastic motorcycle and my first rides on it were joyful, much like this vid shows. looking forward to more vids from you and this bike
+SuperScootDude Thanks man, appreciate the support
This just came across my feed. Love how stoked you are over the FZ6! I just bought one right before winter hit, got the chance to ride it once before the snow fell. Think I hit 92mph in 2nd gear. Was definitely smiling ear to ear after that. Can't wait to get an exhaust on her and explore around. Bet it's pretty nice not feeling the need to floor it just about everywhere you went on the 125. Be safe, have fun!
Thanks dude, appreciate the comment. Yeahh it was definitely a huge improvement from the 125 to having that power!
the way you talked through the video (especially when you hit the throttle) put a huge smile in my face. I'am also looking forward to jump from my 250 to fazer. I really wish you to enjoy as much as you can and always be safe!
+Prometheus Thanks dude, cool username btw
I love my Fz6. It's a great all around bike. It's fun and practical. The only bike I've had that I might like more is the Honda 919 Hornet. Fun watching you enjoy your first ride.
Yeahh I never really got into trying the hornets but heard good things about them. Thanks dude, ride safe 👊🏼
Can’t wait to go through that myself!, I’ve had the biggest smile since seeing this knowing I’ve brought the same bike!
I ride a 125 and i completely agree about going uphill, no power at all
just passed my test and this is my first bike i love it
Ah epic dude, hope you enjoy it!
Congratulations on the new bike mate. It sounds sick.
Haha, thanks dude.
TheMisnomeredOne Thanks man!
This was the video i watched in january last year when there was still snow arround here until march and i just bought my FZ6, but due to snow couldnt drive it. this vid got me sooo stoked and hyped for the coming time i must have watched it about 25 times haha. had to comment :). cheers mate greetings from switzerland
I went from a 50cc to this 2009 fz6 600cc. I still ride my 50cc. They’re parked next to each other right now 😉
Gotta stay with your roots 😜
I went from a 125 to a Yamaha MT03 (660 single). I have fond memories of when I passed my A2 being like "This has infinite power". 125's really are a class of their own.
Yamaha mt03 660 single…there is no such thing your talking rubbish
Nice review, thx much. Nicely untechnical, yet focussing on (and conveying!) all the fun. Looking FW to getting my FZ6 soon. Safe rides!
Congrats bro! That bike has got heaps more power. Wait till you jump on a 1000, then you will feel unlimited power!
MyRandomLife247 Haha tbh this is more than enough power for me 😁
You say that now, believe me, after 1 year you start seeking for more. Especially since it has power reduction to 35kw.
power of thunder XD
@@timojohn9773 what so u mean power reduction?
@@sickyrides its so a2 licence holder can ride the bike its just restricter kit meant put it to 48bhp am sure un restricted like 77bhp
Great video man. Love the bike and sounds great. Getting the fz1n soon and cant wait lol as I've just got my full licence now. Got a cb500 what is a great bike to ride. Happy riding mate!
The joy is real ;). I just made my full A license and am picking up a Honda CB650R next week - making a switch from Keeway RKF 125. I’m simultaneously excited and scared ;).
Ah congrats dude, enjoy it!
I had the same reaction when recently upgrading from a 150 to a FZ6s2 hahaha! I was grinning the whole ride listening to that eargasmic remus exhaust and the sheer power!
You and me both!
Just bought a 2007 FZ6 for my first bike and cant wait to get out on it next week around the north west! Loved the video man, huge help!
No worries, enjoyyy!
On a 125,,got my theory in 2 weeks,then get cracking with my mod1 and mod2,,have just been on 2 of these,,my local bike shop dealer said there great bikes to learn off,,this is a deffo contender some time very soon,stay safe riding👍
This video is quality mate honestly was grinning with you once you got on the bike and experienced that power! I’ve only had 125s but had a ride of a 650 once and this was my exactly reaction too! Can’t wait to pass my test and experience it properly😄
Ah thanks man! Good luck with your test, I'm sure you'll be on a bigger bike before you know it!
Love that orange with black stripe! Looks awesome. This is one of the bikes I'm looking to buy.
BEST VIDEO EVER , i cant wait to get rid of my 125 and feel such power too , i really felt the "i can accelerate uphill" lmao
Haha thanks man, yeahh I'll never forget the feeling!
I just bought a FZ6 myself with a naked build as well! You're video makes me itch to ride it already!
Nice, picking up my FZ6 today, upgrading from a 250, can't wait to feel the extra horses
Ooh nice, enjoy it dude
@@DanTheTwoWheeler Its been great, was only brave enough to take it past 10k rpm last week
i like the authenticity of your videos :)
Thanks dude!
Its great getting a new bike enjoy it man and ride safe.
If you get yourself a polarising filter, cut a bit out, stick it over your speedo, then cut another piece out, rotate it 90 degrees, and stick it on your gopro lens. :)
The speedo will look black and everything else will be normal.
+DanCousins Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking of doing, been looking for some.of them old 3D glasses might try and use them. Unless someone wants to send me some free polarising filter 😁
is it restricted
blimey your excitement is better than most people's first time with a girl .. that's why we love motorbikes!
The best reaction what I see from 125 to 600 :) Right now I'm in the same place what you are in your video..I'm searching to buy fz6n from 125cc... thanks for this video ! :)
Haha thanks for watching dude!
i can definetely relate to the excitement man, hope you are enjoying the bike and all that 600cc power
I did whilst I had it!
Why do I feel as happy as you just watching❤😂
Haha I'm glad you do!
I think this is gonna be my first bike when I get my licence, (which the corona virus made impossible for me, already had my examn planned😡😡😡) the looks and the sound are just spot on...
I've hust bought fz6n s2 09 and I will be having my 1st ride tomorrow. Can't wait. I hope to get same amount of smiles per mile as You did here :)
I felt genuine happiness watching this because this is exactly how I felt, in fact I think we all went through this when we got on our first big boy bike.
PS. My first 600 was also a 2006 naked FZ6.
Thanks dude, glad you enjoyed it 😄
@@DanTheTwoWheeler Sure did! it brought back some fond memories of my own first impressions. Stay safe!
Mine as well, 2007 fz6n
i love that induction growl from the fz6 at low rpm!! I miss my bike
In 3rd gear my fz6 will do 125 mph. 95mph in 2nd and 65 mph in 1st. It feels crazy after riding a cb125f for 2 years.
Amazing video! I’m getting mine in 6 weeks. Can’t wait now!
Ah congrats. Hope you enjoy it!
Congrats on your new bike bro! been watching for a while good to see you finally upgrading 👍
+furqan ali Thanks man
Loved your first impression. It's an R125 I've got just now, 2017, but going straight for R6 once I've got my license. Safe riding bro. Have fun!
Bout to check out an 09 for $2300 usd, and your joy makes me super excited for mine! I currently have a 93 Virago 535, but those cc don’t bring the hp. Can’t wait!
Oooh sounds good dude, enjoy it!
I remember riding my Street triple for the first time coming off a Duke 125, 15hp to 105, felt like the fastest thing in the world. Now I want more 😁😁😁 1200 next 👍👍
JackSwatman Then after a year you gotta slap a turbo on that 1200
Went from a 125 to a daytona 675 i know the feeling it's epic
This orange color is just beautiful. I bought same bike but black one. It's pretty but not as close as this one.
Yeahh it's quite a rare colour
Hey! I'm curious about the handlebar. I can see that is from Renthal, but witch model exactly? I want to use them on a fzs 600 from 2003
Great video. I had exactly the same thing. I will never forget the first ride on 600cc R4. Exactly the same impressions.
Alright Dan,
Im currently on a 125 and have my a1 and a2 booked (can't wait!!!)
I've just purchased a FZ6 from my father in law , its such a coincidence we both had r125's then went onto fz6 !?!
gonna sub , your footage is wicked!!!!
Safe Riding man.
Haha yeahh it's a nice upgrade tbh, thanks a lot dude, appreciate the support. Have fun on the bike!
@@DanTheTwoWheeler will do :) , any chance of a shoutout or something bro ? aspiring to have a channel with as much support as yours
Deadly machine.i have had my fz6 for 3 years.still love it👍☘
Can I buy the FZ6 as a beginner?
'I'm tempted to twist the thorttle, but I'll probably die' :D my exact thoughts first time on Yamaha 600cc (bigger bike)
😅
Nice new bike and well done, picking up my new ninja 300 this week, just did my A2 last week (after months of riding a cbf125 on a cbt), can't wait. Your insurance must be crazy too with a 600cc and aftermarket exhaust, I was tempted to get a restricted mt07, or a slip on for ninja but it will cost too much extra
My main bike is a 1000cc Kawasaki. Just got this little 600. Should still be fun though
Love the video! New set of wheels sounds and looks awesome! You had the same reaction as me when I got on my MT07.. still grinning now ^_^
EvolutionMotovlogs I know man its just the best feeling 😋
too bad the mt07 is less powerful.
2008 fazer. Best bike I've owned, so far.
Memories bro look where you at now riding a h2😀
I love the look of the fz6. I went from a 125 to a zx6r, didn’t like the zx6r so bought a Bandit 600.
I think the Bandit is great but fz6 ticks all the boxes for me.
A tip on the mirrors as they are the same as the sfv650, loosen the nut attached to the handlebars and rotate the entire mirror so the head has some play to it.
Then get some handlebar ones 👍
7:57 that sound omfg 😍😍
Such a great video seeing the first time super sport rider.
Epic bike dude! Loving the four cylinder tick over. You will get use to it in no time :D
I purchased this yesterday 2009 first bike ever I am just going to practice before on the road
I've got one and they are all good bruv. with a few mods you will find it will keep up with the R6 of the same year. A great choice of machine I've had mine 5 years now and I'm still happy
+Ray Tokens Yeah around town or even upto 70/80mph I reckon its the same speed as an R6
DanTheTwoWheeler I've done quite a bit to mine and it does keep up with them. mine will sit at 160 all day long it's running at 110 bhp with 52 lbs/ ft torque. I've got a pcv and a remap done by dynojet an open sp engineering slip-on cans the same as you have, a modified Airfilter box with k&n Airfilter. my fz6 is the s2 version there are a few changes to the model you have but it's one he'll of a fun bike even after 5 years it still scares me lol. oh yeah a quatrefoil turn throttle makes a he'll of a difference in the power delivery. Have fun on it bruv. I have done a lot more than I've listed to keep it exciting but the misses moaning at me kept me from spending more on it.
Ray Tokens Wow that sounds like a lot, I think that's given me plenty of ideas for the future 😃
Not sure why this has come up on my suggestions... but I do laugh when people react like this to a 600 😂😂
Hope you're still riding 👍
LANGLEY/MIDDLETON massive haha,,,finally a vlogger round my neck of the woods
Just bought a 2008 fazer version for my first big bike yours sounds beast think new cans will be on my xmas list!
Good video, buddy first time I've come across ur channel, because of ur yam 125' , I've gone a circle in the opposite direction ,, I'm an old feller ,,Birthday tomorrow 54, in the last 14 yrs had 3 super black birds , Hyabusa , 4 Fireblades etc etc a few gixers, and my last 2 bikes were a triumph 1050 speed triple and Zx10r (107) in first ,,mph,,, on the rev limiter ,,, just to put u in the pic ,,, 9 months ago had a heart attack and have been out of work for nearly 8 months, only got 72 quid a wk for 4 months off the state then no money for the next 5 so the wife supported me and money's been tight , so sold a lot of personal belongings to survive and my bike was one 4 months ago ,, my 30 odd yr old Daughter gave me 500quid to buy a 50cc scooter ,, does 45 mph,, anyhow my son is selling me his 125 Yamaha in couple of months and I'm gonna buy it for commuting,, 2 miles to a job that I recently started so that's how I came across your vids,, good luck with the new bike,, problem is you soon get used to power and if your not careful you end up chasing the dragon ,, and wanted more and more ,, guess it's human nature to be greedy ,, anyhow stay safe Shane ,,, Midlands uk 🇬🇧
Hey man thanks for watching, sorry to hear about your health, hope you get better man. Yeah biking isn't always feasible all the time, it's just about making the most of the good times, and not thinking down too much in the bad times. Hope it all works out for ya. Dan
Can't find this anywhere on the internet but is your DAS a "guaranteed" pass like the CBT where if you fail go retake it free of charge or do you need to fork out all that money again?
kasai pk you won’t have to pay the full DAS fees, but you will need to pay and book another test fee. Some schools will allow a free retake using their bike but the test fee at the centre still has to be paid. Other schools you’ll have to pay for the hire of the bike again as well as the test fee. As a minimum, test fee only. Maximum test fee + hire of bike from school
Older video but awesome none the less, I just made the same transition from a 125 cc to a 2006 FZ600 !!
Haha amazing! So good to hear how many people have transitioned the same I did, if only Yamaha gave me some sort of commission 🤔
I got an FZ6 (S2 version) last year as my first bike. Good innit :-)
Lee Colclough Tell me more about ur experience
that bike sounds hella dope! You should just open it up on the motoway! Also congrats on passing your licence bro! got my mod 1 on 2nd July! literally so desperate for more power. Deff outgrown 125s
+2WheelVandal Thanks man, and good luck 👍
Exactly what I did; ybr125 to FZR600 after four moons an 13 years of not riding.. lush. 12 horses to over 90 thats real lushhhhhhhhhh
So, bought a 2004 FZ6. What’s the story with the throttle? Trying to thread in and out of traffic or doing a standing start, there’s nothing smooth about low revs build-up, it jumps and jerks.
It’s a bit disconcerting, like trying to ride an untamed stallion.
Hmm I'm not too sure about that tbh I didn't really have the same issues on the 2006 model. Perhaps try searching in forums, see if anyone else can relate to the same issue 👍🏼
I'm going from a honda cbf 125 to a 500 honda rebel can't wait
Ooh exciting, enjoy it dude
Damn u explaining things it's makes easier for beginners
Hahah this is so wholesome! I'm going to look at an fz6n myself tomorow, and it might be my first bike :)
Ooh good luck hope it goes well!
@@DanTheTwoWheeler it went well! Got the bike, and I'm really happy with it! Seems like a really solid bike. Alot of fun so far and alot more to come
I just got a 2008 FZ6 (North American version) but I cant get a plate yet because of lockdown! so frustrating to only be able to look at her
