Bet you I can take it in the cornersI rode a cbr f4i today....yeah ours is slow.
yes weight is a factor, but the main dif. here is horsepower. just keep in mind the FZ6R is a sportbike while R6 etc are supersports = made for racingdoes the bikes weight take a lot in play here cause don't it have like 60 pounds more then a r6 or gsxr 600 also I'm 150 in weight so does that mean I have a better chance? Like i know i cant beat them lol but that video make it embarrassing for us being in the 600 class lol I mean ya sure I know I did not buy my bike for speed but that video is just horrible lol
Exactly. Noob rider on the 6R or not, the R6 rider would have to be flat out retarded not to smoke the 6R in a drag race. More than 50 pounds lighter and over 45 extra horses is an ENORMOUS difference in a bike.They said it was a 0-60 race but they went way past, but still the fz6r has about 78hp while the r6 has about 125hp.
You probably went full retard, not half.when I was on the fz6r yesterday...pinned throttle after a downshift....the r6 walked by me like I was half retarded....
Yup... 40 + HP and a lighter bike will do that... But you have to remember the 6R is not a super-sport. Only benefit other then ergonomics/fuel mileage is it's about 3-4K cheaper then the R6 (brand new). Good performance for the price if you look at it that way.when I was on the fz6r yesterday...pinned throttle after a downshift....the r6 walked by me like I was half retarded....
Two thirds the price for two thirds the horsepower, but 90% of the looks and 25% better fuel economy and ergonomics. Not a bad deal.Yup... 40 + HP and a lighter bike will do that...

I think it has great performance for the price. A few mods and it screams for the price. You want an R6 and it's lousy in town/in traffic power curve then buy one. It really only performs well when used in open road conditions. It's like dogging a Ferrari in downtown traffic. The FZ6R has the power curve of a liter bike..just less power.Yup... 40 + HP and a lighter bike will do that... But you have to remember the 6R is not a super-sport.

Well put. The R6 is a screamer for sure, but the low end RPM's do make it hard to ride around town.I think it has great performance for the price. A few mods and it screams for the price.
