hi folks,
I am new to biking in US and just about to buy a motor bike once I get through MSF by end of this month. I am a regular biker during summers and also had ridden motorbikes (150cc) close to 10 years ago back in my home country.
After reading several threads and visiting several forums, looks like both these machines are good but come with their own limitations. Before making the final call I wanted to check with the experts whether the limitations of fz6 are showstoppers or they are something addressed in '08 or '09 model or something that show up in 1 in 1000 machines.
fz6:
con: clutch issues, potential problems at low speeds (I4)
pro: wifly loves looks, great bike!
650r:
pro: good starter bike, can enjoy at lower speeds (parallel twin)
con: vibrations at certain rpm, light, feels bit narrow to me.
Again, I am not an expert in these machines and in no comparison to you experts, if any of the cons come as offensive, please take in the right spirits.
Thank you very much in advance!
