I've been riding around on a 2009 Yamaha FZ6R for the last couple of weeks.
Here's what I think of it...
PROS:
- Great gas mileage and fuel range. This means less stops at the pump
- Peppy little engine moves when you hammer the throttle
- Upright seating position is nice
CONS:
- Brakes are NOT up to par with modern sportbikes (duh..)
- Seat gets uncomfortable after a few hours of riding
- Mirrors are SUV height and tag mirrors when splitting
Overall, a great first bike and great commuter.
