Yeah I'm not sure how it would be for you at 6'4". It felt quite a bit smaller than my FZ6. They had an FZ8 there as well and that thing looked massive next to the FZ-09.
instead of that Kawi ugly.
my 2010 Z with 129 / 87 of rear wheel pure ugly but sooo much dang fun :thumbup:
I'm sold. Looking for a little more snot than the 6, but can't handle the Z1000.
Feature wise, it's got a lot going for it -- super low wet weight, inverted forks, centered under-engine exhaust, and it's cheap, too. Presuming it has standard bike ergos, too.
In as much as I like the way naked bikes look, in practice I think it would be a PITA to drive on the interstate. For me, a huge windscreen would be required, and I question that tiny pillion's luggage bearing capacities.
I've thought about the z1000 as a second bike. A guy at the dealer said that nakeds are no fun on the highway though due to lack of wind protection. I like the FZ8 look more than the 9.
