Read the whole review and I was quite impressed. Glad to find out it is a steel frame and not aluminum. Yes steel is heavier which gives the bike more weight but it is also stronger in case of a fall. I wasn't to happy about the engine buzzing at 75 MPH in 6th gear @ 7,000 RPM. I guess just stay in 5th gear at about 9,000 to 11,000 RPM and it will be fine. This review made me even more happy about my purchase of the FZ6R as a beginner bike. Thanks for the link.

Well if you noticed they tested the Blue and Black.

well the reason its easy to find and so common is because it has +1/2 hp for being in blue. thus being the faster model who wouldnt want it? plus its been proven that the color blue is more aerodynamic... :Flash:
It seams that the more people look into this bike, the more they accept it for what it is, a good, all around, everyday bike. And, they stop complaining and comparing it to super sports and other higher powered bikes. You don't see "Car and Driver" comparing the GT mustang to the Diablo. Like the article states, its a good commuter, city bike, and weekend twisty bike. Perfect for me.

Whats all this about testing blue and black.....Most tests are with yellow...
Hmmm.. Again most are tested with YEllow as its a LIGHTER color and therefore has less "color Particles" and thus its LIGHTER and allows the bike to go faster !! DUH...... hehehehe
All serious though..alot of the review do stress its a good ALL around bike....yamaha has the r6 if you want to be ALL SPORT.......good work Yamaha.....:thumbup:

Thanx for the link - gr8 photos as well :thumbup:
Truly, all of them looks gr8! :thumbup: but the silent, mysterious, gracious BLACK is my bold winner
:bow: Raven has been revered as a spiritual figure or god... :bow:
...so THAT is why they had to add that big heavy sticker - to stay true to the published weight...

Speaking of colours,lol.
There was an article in the local paper some months ago about the safest colour on the road,turns out it was yellow !
What they couldn't figure out was A:is it safer because it is easier to see or B:Because no one actually buys yellow so there are not that many on the road to crash in the first place
Just thought I would mention that ,lol

As for the buzz, I never really noticed it. Does the "r" have rubber mounted foot pegs? I only had a slight buzz in the handle bars at the upper end of the rev range. It was most noticeable around 13,000 rpm. Some Grip Puppies fixed that. Other than that the Fz6 motor is pretty smooth in day to day riding.

I knew the yellow thing. I can't remember where but in a safety survey years ago, they recon that yellow is the color humans can see the furthest.
I like the yellow FZ6R but my wife don't. I don't like the star though, I would have liked to do the the racing design Yamaha use sometimes - the black blocks on white with the yellow.
I liked the yellow a lot, but I liked the black more......I bought a yellow helmet though!
