Well, I went from FZ6R to L1 GSXR-600, then to an L3 GSXR-750, both these bikes are very comfortable for both upright-ability, and non-cramped legs.
Quick summary:
GSXR-600: a bit more snatchy at the bottom than the 750, sounds better at idle, less vibration, can really wind it out (it howls real nice at the top), and insurance is lower
GSXR-750: vibration (had to get weighted bar ends), actually less demanding to ride than 600, pick a gear and point and squirt through tight twisties, albeit less winding it up (so may seem less racey). Reaches higher speeds with less effort, less snatchy, e.g. 3rd and 4th gears are more friendly (I mainly stay in those gears).
Gas mileage - very similar
Tire wear - about the same
Insurance - 50% higher for the 750 (which is BS!)
I find the 750 is no more prone to getting away from you or slipping the rear than the 600, I wanted to go liter but insurance was too high, now that I have the 750 I really don't think the liter would be all that great. Going from 600 to 750 you lose a little bit of winding out the bike, going to liter you would lose even more, so yeah 750 is a really good choice and easy bike to ride with a great history of reliability.
if you dont want another FZ6R and want to go up the natural progression if you liked the ergos of the FZ6R would be the R1. I love my nephews street triple its fast as hell but i like fairings and that bike is about the ugliest i have seen from the front. I hear the Daytona 675 is also nice and has fairings but i believe thats a lay on the tank type.Thanks for the various imputs of information, personally ive been looking at the gixxers but would like to sit on 5 different bikes gixxer 600 &750, zx6r cbr 600rr and r6
Ive sat on the r6 and it feels like i tippytoe on it too much to have a comphy ride. Lol,
Maybe I'm ignorant, but how is the R1 a logical progression from an FZ6R? At first I thought it was a joke since many people wreck a fast bike and then ignorantly buy something faster.if you dont want another FZ6R and want to go up the natural progression if you liked the ergos of the FZ6R would be the R1.

The 600 and 750 are the same in terms of size, difference is the motor.Thanks for the various imputs of information, personally ive been looking at the gixxers but would like to sit on 5 different bikes gixxer 600 &750, zx6r cbr 600rr and r6

Wow, all I've heard for years is how the CBR600rr is the most comfortable SSThe 600 and 750 are the same in terms of size, difference is the motor.
For me, the CBR600 which I was fond of, was very uncomfortable, it just felt stiff to me. I felt the same way on the R6.
Maybe he meant an FZ1?I definitely agree, there is no way an R1 is a "natural progression" from an FZ6R. Maybe an FZ8, or FZ6, or FZ09... R1?? WTF?
Yea me too, which is why I was surprised. I thought I would like it, but it felt tall, and stiff.Wow, all I've heard for years is how the CBR600rr is the most comfortable SS
Hope so? Lol (Still, FZ8 or FZ09 would prob make more sense first).Maybe he meant an FZ1?
LMAO yes i did, too many Rs, Zs, and Fs around here, i wish they would just fricken name each bike like cars, would make it easier.Maybe he meant an FZ1?
Like M3, M5, M6, M1? A6, A4, A3, A8?LMAO yes i did, too many Rs, Zs, and Fs around here, i wish they would just fricken name each bike like cars, would make it easier.
