More torque/power + lighter weight = FZ6 is faster better all around bike. If you really want R6 (peaky) power buy a R6 if you want an everyday useable powerband buy the FZ6 if you really like the look of a faired bike thats comfortable get the FZ6R :thumbup:



Oh yeah and :welcome:

FZ6 all the way. FZ6R is more for pure begginers in which you are not one of them. Just get the FZ6 and unleash her awesome power. :thumbup:

I am with everyone else. The naked fizzer is just a better bike in general. Faster, Lighter and IMO better looking. Also their will be more after market part for the FZ6

 

[regder]

With the minimal price difference, the full FZ6 really is a much better bike over the FZ6R. More power, better handling, better brakes, roomier if you're a bigger guy, established after market support. I really don't think there should be any question here
