It is more of a "peaky" engine than the 6R but still nothing compared to the r6 in terms of tq. Ive rode all 3 and the main difference in tq is from idle to about 4k between the 6R and the fz6, but the fz6 still feels way more powerful than the r6 under 8k. The fz6 does feel kinda of gutless below 4k but at 5k it feels like it pulls way harder than the 6R. The best way to describe it imho is like turbo lag.One thing I'd point out about the FZ6 vs. the FZ6R is that from what I've read, the FZ6 is similar to the R6 in that its power and torque don't kick in until the revs are pretty high. If you're looking to avoid having to down shift when riding in town, the FZ6R has a slight advantage I believe in that respect.
