Here's my two cents worth. I am 6'1" and 250lbs. I have only had my FZ6 for two weeks but I find it perfectly usable in the lower rpm range. While it does not have gobs of torque, it certainly has enough easily accessible torque for common traffic situations. I can easily pass on the highway without getting near the power band. I have had many bikes in 35 years of road riding and I find the FZ6 to the a near perfect blend of performance, comfort, and usability. Under 7k rpm it reminds me of my old '73 Z1-900. I wish I had bought an FZ6 instead of a Z1000 Kawasaki a couple of years ago. This is a much better bike for me.
