After two years on my Ninja 250r I decided it was time to upgrade. So I picked up what I thought was a pretty clean 2009 FZ6. I must have been excited or something because I didn't really notice anything out of the ordinary when I bought it. A couple of minor scratches, but when I got it home upon closer inspection it appears that it had in fact been dropped (previous owner claims it hadn't). :disapprove:
Oh well, it's still a pretty clean bike if you don't stare too long.
So far compared to my 250R the power is great! I'm glad that I went with the 250 for a couple of years before hand because I can concentrate on the extra power and not have to worry about learning to turn and what not.
There are two annoying issues though. First the throttle from open to close is god awful. It's not smooth at all, I hope I get used to this. Right now it scares the crap out of me rolling onto the throttle through corners. Second I find myself not knowing what gear I'm in. I'm so used to the 250s short gearing that I try to downshift too many times coming up to a stop or going into a turn.
