Yo everyone,
I'm looking to go back to street riding. I currently have an '89 HD 883 Sportster which I put 41,000 miles on her. I'm looking for a more reliable ride (Sometimes the HD gives me problems away from home) so I can do some overnight rides and get back into country riding.
I have spoken to my Yamaha Dealer and he suggested the FZ6 or FZ1.
I'm looking for seating position almost like the Sportster or more upright.
As much as I like the R6S, the dealer suggested the FZ bikes so I could ride longer distances. I'm currently getting over some back issues.
Would anyone in this forum who has made a similar transition give me their $0.02 on riding position and comfort. Also, what type of bags you might have on your ride. The 2008 FZ6 has the exhaust under the passenger seat. I wouldn't know if I could put some saddle bags on her to do an overnight.
