The earlier ones are fugly IMHO, but I saw an 09 and that was it.

You know those two bikes are comletely different right? The only common link is the detuned R6 engine in both, and even the extent to which the engine is detuned is different. Even the frame material and style is different. The "old fugly" fz6 are faster, but a bit clunkier than your fz6r.

Your shopping list sounds exactly like mine though. The fz6r was in the top 4 or 5 on my list. I decided to go with its suzuki class rival in the GSXF. I decided I wanted more touring capability, and the fz6r is just a tad small for my frame. Im not a small guy.... Waiting for the dealer to call me back right now for the suzi.

'grats on the new bike though!!!

Yeah, I figured that out.

Good luck with yours.

Gorgeous Heather. Glad you are feeling well enough to get back on again.

Thanks guys.

I'm a big fan of this bike so far. I'm smitten with owning a bike again. I took it to bike night last night and I had straight up forgotten how fun riding on the street really is.

I'm not naive enough to think I can't get hurt again, but I think we all know that we are taking a calculated risk whenever we throw a leg over. It's a dangerous lifestyle but I can't hide from it.
