Fz6 should be ur next bike!! Great after the 250 u have Now and easy on the wallet. The fz6r doesn't have to much power. The fz6 will keep u smiling for a while.
I went from FZ6 as a first bike to a BMW K12GT, sport touring is more my thing. Now eyeing a dual sport bike like a DR650SE or DR-Z400S. The KLR 650 is just too much of a pig and not as dirt oriented as I like. Got to ride a friends KTM 690 Enduro on the street a bit and loved it. Got to ride a DRZ for a day too and loved it. Hoping to add a dual sport in early 2014. As for street, I keep saying I'd go the Ninja 1000 route next after the Beemer goes (which doesn't look like anytime soon). Besides my wife loves to ride two up on the Beemer and it's fantastic for that.

I've just bought a triumph Sprint GT to make my longer tours a bit more comfortable.
While I love my '07 FZ6, I'd been lusting over Aprilias for years, so I bought a 2008 Tuono with every intention of selling my Yamaha in the spring. The Ape is such a beast and an absolute blast to ride. But then I rode my FZ6 the other day, since it had been sitting a while, and I had forgotten just how civilized it is, especially around town. Now I'm trying to come up with a way to convince my better half why I should have two bikes. Hopefully selling my '58 Vette (on that I'm NOT changing my mind) will free up enough garage space to appease her.
Any photos of the Tuono, or vett???
I didn't read all the replies but I have had my FZ6 for almost 10 years and I have no plans to replace it. I don't like superbikes or GS type bikes, I won't buy a Harley, Kawasaki or Suzuki, so that cuts my choice to one, if I was forced at gunpoint (and handed the cash).... MT-09 :rockon:
Yeah, here's the Corvette (it looks in better shape than it really is) and my Ape (the car cover in the background is the Vette).
