This has turned into a pretty great thread for people thinking of buying an FZ6.
Yeah, as long as it is not buying your FZ6!

No I give best price...... and Hi-Phi stereo bonus.... very nice Yes!! :BLAA:Lol, I give you best price!
To me my FZ6 is like that perfect girlfriend who is cute and does everything right and you dont really have any complaints but you still lust after the hot stripper .. One day the FZ will be replaced by this hot stripper
While I am currently very happy with my bikes, I found that I am not very picky when it comes to motorcycles... you could swap both my bikes with 2 other bikes and I'd probably be just as happy (as long as one is a street bike and the other a track bike )
If I could somehow combine the reliability, docileness and ergonomics of the fz with the raw and unleashed power and torque of the R1 on the mid/top end, I would never foreseeability buy another bike again.
Wouldn't it feel similar due to the 600 *potentially* weighing less?the only thing I can even barely quarrel about is the power, and it wasnt even a problem until I bought a R1, until I bought the R1 the FZ was the second fastest thing I had ever driven, then the R1 showed me how I could scare the living sh!t out of myself with the biggest grin on my face ever.

I feel like my fz handles about the same as my R1....I can contribute the R6 forks to a portion of that but I still feel as comfortable on the FZ in the corners as the R1.
+1, beat me to it. Though question, do the FZ1 and the R1 share the same motor and if so, is the FZ1 gimped like the FZ6 is of its pure sport counterpart?Sounds like you'd like an FZ1
I really wanted a Harley. I started leaning towards wanting a sport bike and then was talked into looking into the FZ6.
Started shopping for FZ6's and R6's/CBR600RR's.
Ended up finding a a really clean FZ6, I ended up buying.
I don't regret the FZ6 at all, i really like it, but i know that I want to get a new bike in the next year or two.
Unsure if I want a 1000cc sport touring bike, a 1000cc sport bike, or a Harley.
ETA: mostly happy with the performance and handling of the FZ6, love the fuel mileage on it. But for the riding I do, I think a Harley would be cool, plus look and sound better.
You just typed my my thought word to word.
But i'm sure i would go for HD v-rod as my next bike.
I'm happy with my 08FZ6 only 1 trip to gas station since purchase, so don't know the mpg yet. Hopefully, with no rain this weekend, i might complete a tank full of fuel on a loooooong drive. I know i won't cross 40mpg with my 0-40 under 3 seconds at intersections and 7-9k rpm whenever possible.
