Hi All,
I have a 2006 FZ6, and I am planning to keep that. We are building a 2nd place down in the Souther Utah desert, and the FZ6 will stay down there for riding around the parks and canyons.
My wife has given me permission for a second bike. The Yammy dealer has a new, 2013 FZ1 marked down for $6500. I might be able to get them down a little on that. Alternatively, I could buy an FZ-09 for list at $8000. I realize they are different bikes and have read all the reviews.
I weight 190#, and I live in SLC (urban) and like to ride the mountains and canyons around here, besides commuting a few miles to work.
The FZ-09 has a great engine, but the suspension worries my (some described it as scary), and I am not anxious to put thousands of $ into upgrading the suspension, etc. It appears that the FZ1 would be a great bike out of the box. I am on the fence here. That FZ1 seems like such a good deal...
