Hi everyone,
just bought a 2004 Fz6 in Blue. I don't pick it up until Wednesday but I test rode it the other day and thought it was fantastic. Coming from an old Suzuki Bandit 600, the following things stood out:
Incredibly smooth and quiet
Very nice for commuting low down, but turns into a beast when you climb the rev range.
Rider's seat gets quite hot, but strangely the pillion seat kept cool (I guess the fan takes care of that). Will be nice in the winter.
Gear box is fairly clunky but it's not something that would put me off.
I'll be using it for a 4 mile commute each way (I know, not far) and will also be my toy for weekends, and also my only vehicle.
