Hi all.I'm a day or so away from buying my first FZ-6.I love everything I've read about it so far,My only sticking point is the weight.Do to knee problems,the lighter the better at stoplights or while in any non- moving situation.My last bike was a Duc Monster.Excellant low seating osition for my height & also lighter than the FZ.You folks that have owned FZ's [particularly the 2009 new leftover model I'm looking at],how do you like it's balance in these types of situation ? I'm only 5'9". There are some other bikes [ even w/bigger motor's ] that weigh in less.I just love the lines,specs & price I have available to me on this bike. My Ducati was great in every area, but low speed chugging.With my Physical limitations,it just became a detriment in the city traffic I often encountered.Before I drop the $'s,I'd like to get some 1st hand opinions.Unfortunately,the dealers in this area don't let you do test rides.All opinions will be appreciated. westmasK
