I'm not so concerned for myself with the power, and honestly I don't want the extra power for my girl, I ride a litre bike but I don't want to get something she can't handle, I love yamaha's though so I am kinda torn.

That still seems more off than any sportbike I have owned. Mine have always been like 5 % off or less.....when my speedo indicated 85 its more like 79-80 maybe in the triple digits it would be off by 10 but still not 20

Hi everyone, new to the forum here, I ride a 2000 RC-51 and have owned a few other sportbikes, I started on a 89 CBR 600, then had a 97 katana 600, a 2000 gsxr600, a 2001 R1, and now the RC. I love riding and put over 20k on my bike(s) a year. I am looking into buying a FZ6 or an FZ1, mainly...
