Outgrew the FZ6R...

[RoadTrip]

So are you fully happy with it? I'm seriously considering upgrading. Idc about the speed i want the power. Sick of my boys running off and leaving me in the straights. Keep up with them in the corners. I love the fz6r but "we need more power!"

I love rmbeuc's new bike, but I really think the next logical step for most FZ6R riders is a 600SS (if the sport side is your thing), they go nearly as fast as a liter and have a lower cost of ownership (and less potential gotchas) - I may get a liter some day as well, but am far from outgrowing my gixxer600, I never really feel like I need more power, I may end up just keeping the gixxer for a full decade, it's a great bike.

Great advice, thanks.

The power and torque is unreal and the cross-plane sound is truly one of a kind! I am very happy with it and I'm never looking back. If you can though, keep the 6r for long rides and commuting. I rode the 6r for the first time since I got the R1 and I gotta say, whatever the R1 has in power, the 6r makes up in comfort and versatility!

Did they have the one with the weird graphics? Not the anniversary edition. And if so are they, vinyl graphics or paint? I think it would be sick all white yeahhhhhh

The 2011 red is badass and they had one too. I really wanted the 2012 but the graphics were so sick!

This is true, and right now suzuki has 0% APR for 4 years! I had to pay a hefty price for mine, but it really was and is my dream bike. gixxers are awesome!

I keep telling myself to hold out until the fz1 gets a crossplane crank, but at this rate I don't know if it will happen. But that sound! That truly intoxicating glorious sound!

That sound would sell me on the bike alone, the only other inline 4 that I've herd that comes close is the z1000 because of how the exhaust is run. The left 2 cyl's are on their own system as well as the right 2 so it ends up sounding like 2 p-twins.
