Fz6 vs fz8

[Dry Martini]

Then you are simply a beast who feels no pain! How many 1 day trips over 200 miles do you ride on that bike?

Quite a few. I have a place in NC and have gone to visit inlaws in Somerset KY.

I do not find any difference (as far as comfort is concerned with wind), between the FZ6 and monster. The only discomfort I have is a less than satisfactory seat. Even at triple digit speeds, I am not having to push against the wind. I have my elbows bent and my upper body leaning forward into the wind.

I am simply someone who refuses to "act his age", whatever the hell that means. [emoji2] Unlike those "old fart" BMW riders who need ABS, GPS, and heated seats to ride.

Compromise, just get the FZ7

Isn't the 07 a twin? 07 a twin, 08 a four and the 09 a triple?

Yes I could do an FJ-09 like that. I just hope they don't weigh it down with BS like TC, ABS and that never sufficiently damned steering damper.:spank:

+1 on any steering damper. Why would you want to damp the front suspension on a modern sportbike?

I learned from Keith code that you want to let the front do whatever it wants. Because if you damp the forks, that movement will get
Transmitted to the rear tire, and if it becomes violent enough, it will pitch you off.
