What kind is it? What do you consider it or call it when people ask "so, what kind of bike do you ride?"
Being new to motorcycles I have always thought it a sportbike, but seems some riders are very specific about bikes. I like being specific about a few things, too. And when people ask me "so, what kind of bike is that" I want to be able to do more than scratch my butt and say "well, i dunno, really?"
Came to mind because someone on another forum made a thread. He said he had been riding many a year, but now wanted a "real sportbike." While I knew he did not want an FZ6, I mentioned several others to which a few members posted "well, those aren't sportbikes at all." One rider called my selections "old fashioned." Which I still don't understand?
So I wondered 'well, if THOSE aren't sportbikes the FZ6 must be some sort of super scooter!' Or something? So I made a multiple choice post asking just what the hell kind of bike an FZ6 is. Here is that post:
ADVrider - View Single Post - 54 and looking for my first real sportbike.
So what do you guys say? At least one poster says its a "standard" but if it makes me "feel better" call it a sport standard lol. But isn't a "typical standard" like a Triumph Bonneville, or something? I don't think of an FZ6 like that.
Just what the hell kind of bike do YOU consider it? And what is it in all reality in the "bike world?"
