And soon to be new rider...
Never had a bike. (well, I had a dual sport something or other 25 years ago that never really ran long), and figured it's finally time. I've got a Yamaha jet boat, Yamaha jet ski, so it only made sense to go with mother yamaha on this venture as well. Through a fair bit of research, it appears the FZ6 is the bike for me.
With that said - anything I should look for in particular? Known issues? Some better than others? I'm working with about a $3500-ish budget. I have found an 09 FZ6R which seemed to be about perfect, until I researched more and realized I don't *think* I want the R. I could probably spend more if needed, but I'd rather not. Between the boat, ski, and 2 vintage cars...I've got alot fighting for my weekend time right now, and the season appears to be winding down.
Any and all advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
