Hello everyone. I'm a former FZ6 owner and current Ducati Monster owner. I'm thinking of getting a second bike as a sporty light tourer/commuter with storage and I'd like to hear your input. This is my next motorcycle short list:
'09 FZ6 - I've owned and crashed one of these before and I loved everything about it except my hands going numb after 30 minutes. Has anyone found a fix other than going to a 17 tooth sprocket? If it wasn't for the vibration, I'd already have one in my garage with a top box.
'07 Sprint ST - These occasionally come up at my price point with factory panniers at just under 30k miles. The only problem here is that I'm not wild about 550+ pound bikes. I might make an exception however for that engine, that look, and that sound.
GSX650F - If I'm getting a smaller dispacement bike I prefer light weight. At 530 pounds this is no lightweight. Still, people rave about the smooth, midrange-y engines. These crack me up because people and publications that have ridden these love them, but they're despised by forum guys that develop strong opinions from spec sheets.
