I wonder where the cheapest one could get an FZ6 ABS would be? I could import it...

Then it sounds like no FZ1 for me. I don't need any of that. Sounds good, FZ6 is cheaper and will save me cash.

don't really need more HP. the FZ6 has what... 90 something? on a bike? My saturn has 140 and it is perfectly serviceable despite having a 2000lbs car to haul around! maybe more torque, at most, and I consider comfort a top priority.

Any advantage to getting an FZ1 over an FZ6? I don't race nor do I ever intend to.

Yeah, without hitting reserve, and due to there being some extra space at the top of the tank, I get about 90 miles between fuel-ups on the Marauder. Ick. I am not really into sport riding (like zooming around super fast) but I am a believer in performance for the sake of safety - plenty of...

which is one of the reasons the Hyosung GV650 is on my list.

The cruiser isn't comfy to ride for long stints. The cruiser layout is rough on the lower back. Nor does my bike have particularly good passing power on the highway. And a 3.4 gallon fuel tank (including reserve) + 38 mpg... no long stents happening there.

What I am looking for is a bike that is comfy to ride around town and for hour+ long trips on the highway.

yeah, the reviews I have been reading praise the sv650 low end torque. But I wonder if those guys are racing them? I don't need to go 100mph immediately. Some smooth getup is all I need for getting around town. Then, if I need to get the **** out of the way, my cruiser has no top end so I am...

LOL maybe. Right now the biggest contenders for next bike are: FZ6, Hyosung GV650, the SV650, and the V-strom 650. Of those, I have sat on the FZ6 and the GV650. I haven't been able to find an SV650, and apparently they just stopped making them. I would like ABS, but for some...

Yeah, that area is awesome. I might move there.

I want to kick Yamaha if they don't put ABS in the US. I would pay a good solid extra 1k, maybe more, for ABS.

So you can get ABS in the states??? If so the FZ6 just got bumped to #1 contender for next bike.

I saw that in europe they have a version of the FZ6 with ABS. Can you get that in the states? or add it?

Yeah my friend is like 1/3 my size (as are many people lol). I have thrown him and his sister over my shoulders and walked around with them HAHAHAHA.

What about throttle response... with the marauder, you can throw it open and it will GO, but it won't send you flying. My friend who has one says you have to be really careful about small throttle movements.

So, I am a cruiser rider thinking of getting an FZ6. I have a 1998 Suzuki Marauder. A friend of mine has an FZ6, and it is the first and only sport-style bike that I have found comfortable to sit on. I have heard that I-4 bikes have really fast (potentially dangerous) power delivery as...
