As a new member and owner of a new 2007 model FZ6 S2 i like to share my riding experience after about 500kms on the clock since new.
First i cannot believe how much wind buffeting there is at around 120kph on the highway even worse if stuck behind a car or truck to the point i really had to hold on as the whole bike seemed to be getting blown about. Pretty dangerous was my first thought. I'm of average height 5'10" so it cant be that. Is it the small fairing screen or shape perhaps?
Second i scrubbed the tyres down so i got about 1cm chicken strip left, on the stock Dunlops it feels quite twitchy and not exactly confidence inspiring leaning over too much. Are these tyres known to be like this.
Would really appreciate any other feedback as i'm beginning to think i chose the wrong bike. I'm sure i never had these problems on my old Kawasaki GPZ750 a while back,
Regards, Michael
