I'm prepping for my first bike buy this summer, target date is July 1st. I've sat on several bikes already and zero'd in on the 650(ish) bikes as fitting my body best. Of the ones I've seen the fz6r appeals to me most, but I like the SV and the Ninja too. I haven't sat on the cbr500r yet but it's on my list of maybes.
I know you guys get a lot of new rider questions, but I wasn't able to find the answer I need through a search. I'm a big guy, close to 300lbs, and the big complaint I'm seeing from people about the fz6r is the suspension being very light. I can't test ride any of the bikes I'm looking at(dealerships) so I'm looking to you guys for advice. I know the front end is not adjustable on the fz6r, I'm not sure about the other ones. Am I going to have a nightmare on my hands(or in this case my big fat ***) when it comes to cornering with the fz6r with its suspension, if so is there something economical I can do to fix the problem?
If not do you have a suggestion for an alternative among the similar bikes? Thanks in advance
