Hi everyone, been doing a little bit of research and was hoping to get some insights from the FZ6R community. My g/f will be buying the bike and I just had a few concerns after reading several articles about the bike. Well first of all she's looking to upgrade from a ninja 250R. Her complaint about that bike was that it was just a little too sluggish and she wanted something a bit more responsive on the freeway.
We sat on the FZ6R today and loves the seating position and the color. I've been trying to find what people experience when riding, such as starting out from a stopped position. I'm sure that the FZ6R would be faster than the 250R but how much faster would it be? I started on a 08 r6 myself and I thought that bike was already more then enough power than I would ever need, the only thing I didn't like on that bike was the seat height and the fact that the mirrors were almost completely useless.
From what I've read about the FZ6R its everything that she would ever want in a bike but just wanted to get a few impressions from people who have already ridden it. Also if I could ask, how much did everyone pay for theirs out the door? The dealer I'm looking to buy it from offered 7100 otd while another dealer a few more miles north said he could do 6999 for a 09. Does that sound reasonable for a new 09 white FZ6R? Any info would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
