New here! (I’m sorry in advance if this has been answered already or I posted in the wrong section)😬 I’m 27 and looking at getting a 2011 fz6r next week, i was wondering how the bike would do with a heavy rider like me? I’m 250-255lbs and worried it will stress the bikes suspension, just figured I’d get your guy’s/gals opinion on wether the bike could handle it or should I look at a different one.

I had a 09 ninja 650r when I was 18 and I was around 230lbs and it didn’t seem to stress it out too much, just figured I’d ask!
Thank you!
