FZ6 too revy?

i thought this was a safe place, what do those mean over there?


Fecking: Fuc-ing
wanker: male genetalia
twat: female genetalia


? thats the slang here, just curious if it was the same.

Let me start by saying that I'm an American living in London (from Memphis originally)

Fecking - yep, you got it
wanker - now this is hard to explain. It sort of goes hand-in-hand with tosser. "Tosser" is a milder form of "wanker". Technically, a wanker would be one who um, 'wanks'. You can guess what that means. A 'tosser' is just a less severe insult but basically the same.
twat - same meaning in the US and UK although pronounced differently. It's more 'twot' in the US and 'twat' (with a soft a, for those of you who remember taking phonics in school) in the UK.

I hope that helps. :D

The FZ6 has great punch low, mid and high. If folks quit upshifting to get it into 4th, 5th or 6th below 50mph they would see this. Yeah, much like the R6 it came from it's a rev machine and this is where it belongs. It's also something the rider/owner needs to understand because this bike ain't a grocery getter. In town I would never get out of 3rd gear.
 
I've got an 08 FZ6 and also an 05 ST13, it depends on how you ride and such, the ST13 is a stump puller at low rpms, i can get it moving from idle and it feels like it'll drag my truck down the street, the fz6 needs to get 'going' before it makes any meaningful rush out of it...not to say its bad, just 2 dif type of powerbands...so the magazine isn't entirely wrong it does need to 'spool' up before the fun begins...
