YAMAHA FZ6 First Ride | From a 125 to 600!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- 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.
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 😄
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 :)
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!
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.
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 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!
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.
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 🙏🏼
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!
Congratulations on the new bike mate. It sounds sick.
Haha, thanks dude.
TheMisnomeredOne Thanks man!
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 👍🏼
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!
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
I felt the same when I went from a 125 to a CBF 600 amazing feeling 👍
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
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
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 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
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
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.
Its great getting a new bike enjoy it man and ride safe.
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
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!
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!
Love that orange with black stripe! Looks awesome. This is one of the bikes I'm looking to buy.
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 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!
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 👊🏼
i like the authenticity of your videos :)
Thanks dude!
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 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, 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 went from a 125cc to a restricted 600cc Fazer from 2003 and I love it.
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!
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!
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
Nice review, thx much. Nicely untechnical, yet focussing on (and conveying!) all the fun. Looking FW to getting my FZ6 soon. Safe rides!
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!
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!
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
I just bought a FZ6 myself with a naked build as well! You're video makes me itch to ride it already!
I ride a 125 and i completely agree about going uphill, no power at all
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👍
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 😁
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 :)
blimey your excitement is better than most people's first time with a girl .. that's why we love motorbikes!
Epic bike dude! Loving the four cylinder tick over. You will get use to it in no time :D
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!
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!
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!
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 👍
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
i love that induction growl from the fz6 at low rpm!! I miss my bike
is it restricted
Amazing video! I’m getting mine in 6 weeks. Can’t wait now!
Ah congrats. Hope you enjoy it!
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!
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
Congrats on your new bike bro! been watching for a while good to see you finally upgrading 👍
+furqan ali Thanks man
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.
7:57 that sound omfg 😍😍
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 😜
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 👍
just passed my test and this is my first bike i love it
Ah epic dude, hope you enjoy it!
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 👍
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
Why do I feel as happy as you just watching❤😂
Haha I'm glad you do!
Memories bro look where you at now riding a h2😀
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.
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
LANGLEY/MIDDLETON massive haha,,,finally a vlogger round my neck of the woods
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.
Just bought a 2008 fazer version for my first big bike yours sounds beast think new cans will be on my xmas list!
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
after a few rides you'll be bossing it man. Anyway I would change the mirror to something sleeker and good thing u took the screen off
Damn u explaining things it's makes easier for beginners
Great video. I had exactly the same thing. I will never forget the first ride on 600cc R4. Exactly the same impressions.
Such a great video seeing the first time super sport rider.
Brother man. Nice honest vid. Just a word of advice and for your safety. Always and I mean always have atleast one finger on front brakes and your rear break covered. Whether going around corners trail breaking or in resedential areas especially. Don't be caught grabbing a handful 💪
'I'm tempted to twist the thorttle, but I'll probably die' :D my exact thoughts first time on Yamaha 600cc (bigger bike)
😅
You've sold it me I'm going to buy the fZ6 I've just seen few miles from mine for sale hahaha!
Haha let me know how you get on!
Seeing as you live in manchester, its probably worth taking that bike to the three sisters track near wigan. me and my mate are on a2 atm, went there for their charity rideouts and you find out so much more about your bike; only negative is you'll be hooked.
+john avancena Yeah I've been there before, good track 👍
I got an FZ6 (S2 version) last year as my first bike. Good innit :-)
Lee Colclough Tell me more about ur experience
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 😃
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
Deadly machine.i have had my fz6 for 3 years.still love it👍☘
Can I buy the FZ6 as a beginner?
Ha ha nailed exactly how it feels at the start when riding a big bike. I watched this before I got mine, I love the riding position not at high speed speed with no screen though, you gotta hold on tight lol.
Perfect vid for me mate, i'm gonna do my Full test spring next year and want a FZ6,.
Will have 6 months under my belt on a WR125cc..
Was that 'Bowlee' on your Left at 6mins in the vid?..
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 🤔
Damn dude that is a dream bike, I have Yamaha mt 125 planning to get MT- 07 I should imagine I will feel the same on my first ride.. awesome channel you got a +1 sub from me ;)
+Kenneth K Thanks man 👍
Feels funny how me being from mexico, find this so relatable.😂😂😂 Nice bike
Haha thanks man
