EXUP Worldwide was born from the ashes of the original EXUP Brotherhood – the definitive forum for all those who have interest in Yamaha FZ, FZR, and YZF motorcycles.
The say a picture is worth a thousand words. Take a look at what the other EXUP Worldwide members ride, or post your own pride & joy. Please use your submission point, or post your own link.
Made a deal with the (wife) and in order to buy my dream, bike(2006 R1LE) I had to sell the old Fizzer. The worest part was after I sold the bike the seller of the LE backed out. The moral of the story is “easer to ask for forgiveness then for permission” Here is some picture of her as she departed.

Yes, i always buy first and worry about the fallout later
But look at the bright side, you now have the OK to get an R1 and cash in your pocket, time for a little shopping i thing,
Oh, and take the wife along, she might not be interested, but you give her a chance to have a little input into your next purchase, she will get boared, go looking at handbags, and you ride home on a bike you never even showed her
but still, parting with a good bike is always a little sad
Mistake. Better to get something in addition to, rather than exchange for. Even if you were able to get the other bike, it is an unknown quantity, and the FZR was family. You don't sell family. :sad
Sorry. I was feeling sad for your sale, and am just blabbing...it's late.
She looked great though! I hope the new owner respects her as much as the pictures show you did. The mods were very tasteful.
This is why I'm single! Beats me why a man should have to do a deal in the first place.... It would have been the wife on the trailer if I had to make a choice in that regard.... That's right... I remember now... :bfg
Don't feel bad for me I do have another bike in the barm. It's greed and a coveting heart that cause me the sell the FZR, and I do regret selling her even if I had bought the LE.
P.S. Wife is PO about the D word so I had to remove it.
The USD forks and brakes was from a 1997 YZF 750 with race tech internals and 100 KG springs, I also used a shorter bogbone to raise ther rear end up to improve handeling and ground clearnce.
