Great post, great sense,I was about to say the samething, I know more women who ride the Hayabusa than men.
In my opinion, there is no such thing as a girls bike. Beginners bike, entry level bike, yes. But girls bike no. Yes, you could have a girly color, but doesnt make the model of the bike a girls bike. Is there a girls car? Just because a lot of women may drive a Volkwagen Beetle, does it make it a girls car?
Now, as far the FZ6R being in the FZ6 family, In my opinion, it would have been better off with the R6 family. Being that it configured to look more like a sportsbike, with the full fairing and all. The FZ6 is classified as a touring bike.
