The VFR is in a different class than the FZ6. Aesthetic wise the VFR wins hands down. The bike just feels like a top quality build, and not to mention the exhaust note was incredible. Power wise the VFR has more grunt down low, and once v-tec kicked in it was a blast, however it was heavy, heavy, heavy! Also due to the side mounted radiators it got really hot during the summer when in traffic. It never overheated but it cooked my thigh's. It really just depends on your riding style, honestly the VFR was built for the open road in my opinion. Due to me riding more in the city I wanted something lighter, that got better mpg, without all the plastic fairings. I could go into more detail, and I can if you would kike, but at the end if the day my riding has changed. Is the VFR a better bike? Yes and no. It sure is a beautiful bike with the single sided swingarm, but it just didn't satisfy me.
