If only it didnt look like a suzuki on the nose.... I'd still rather get the FZ6.
I still like the YZF's tho Jojo. They are comfortable as hell. Quote:

Uncrated? You work at a dealer? Nice!
I really would want to this summer if the economy was a bit better.

I was working at a dealership. got canned because I didn't watch what I said when I told them I wasn't going to room with the one guy I didn't like in the shop on road trip.

I doubt it. I bet the sportbike sales take a big hit this year and there may be companies getting rid of certain models not planning for more.

Liter bikes have more reciprocating mass, which works against you when the revs are high. Also, not everyone wants liter-bike insurance.

Kawi used to sell a 750 but they were no where near competitive with the GSXR's. I love the 750 power plant and if any of the manufacturers came out with a 800cc GP replica, I'd drool all over one. For me I don't need a liter bike. I rode a new GSXR1000 and it wasn't for me. The 750 has enough low end grunt and mid range to keep me happy. I dont need to go 180+mph. The 600's on the other hand don't have enough low end torque for how I like to ride. Now the new ZX-6R is supposed to have increased low end torque so that may solve my problem with that. My logic was this, sure the 750 was $1000 more than a 600 but to get that extra 30hp I would have had to spend well over a grand to get that kind of extra power and the 750 is pretty damn close in weight to the 600, so it's just like buying a 600 with a factory engine upgrade. Sure I could have spent an additional $1000 to jump up the the liter bike but like mentioned above, they're not my style of bike. I'd be happy if all the manufacturers started producing 750s again, especially Yamaha, but I doubt it will ever happen. |
