Another FZ6R Owner
Just got one in all black, actually got a really good deal. I understand where you guys are coming when you say it shouldn't be called an FZ6R, but I have to say I really love my new bike. It's what I need for commuting to school/work, I've owned bikes with more power (CBR600rr at one point), but it's just a nice smooth bike with enough power to be fun and actually practical. It's still being broke in (112 miles on it ATM), but it can definitely move if you tell it to. The clutch feel is awesome. Handles great from low speed figure 8s and circles to pushing it a little in the corners. Turns in quickly, you only need to think about changing lanes and you're there. The bike is kinda heavy on paper but it feels light and very well balanced (and planted to the road) in real life. The styling looks a lot better in person than online, I think the tubular frame actually looks cool. I'd still caution against something like this for a completely new rider, as a fuel-injected liquid-cooled inline 4 just doesn't sound like a good idea even if it's not at r6 hp status. It gets up there when the FI really kicks in :rockon: All in all, solid bike, definitely worth a look as a commuter bike or sport-tourer even (thinking of putting some sport bags on mine after the 600 mile break-in and logging some highway miles).
That's a losi micro-dt track in the garage lol.
