Well, my FZ6 is no more. I bought a 2011 Triumph Street Triple yesterday. 5 minutes into the test ride I was grinning and knew I wanted it. It really does everything I want in a motorcycle. Light, torquey, agile and no wind buffeting. Even riding 70mph on the interstate was much quieter than the FZ6 and I felt very little air pressure. I was quite surprised.
The gearbox is amazing compared to the Yamaha. It just snicks into gear, none of the clunk\lunge when going into 1st with the FZ6. Twisty bits are so much easier as well. About the only thing the FZ6 does better is smoothing out rough spots on the highway but I do little of that type of riding.
So, thanks for all the entertainment and information. I expect to keep stopping by. But, the Street Triple is so much fun I keep babbling to anyone who will listen.
