I recently sat on FZ6R......simply put....I was not impressed.
The bike does look nice and for a brand new, young rider, would be a much better option than a Ninja 250. I found the overall bike to be "cheap". The plastics seem cheap and tire size and swingarm size are noticable. The bike seems small, probably doe to the lower seat height.
I really love the headlight though, much better looking than our FZ6's.
I left feeling alot better about my 2007 FZ6, even if he did confirm that '09 is likely the last US production year. It seems the "R" wil be the bike Yamaha will compete with in the US.
It gives me more reason to buy a Triumph when I outgrow the Fizzer.
