Hey rookiedude…you’d better hope it doesn’t rain…to the best of my knowledge, you ride rain or shine my friend!
An FZ6 is a great bike, but it’s a lot of bike. It’s not detuned for a beginner, it’s got plenty of go. The ergo’s are good and it’s a very capable machine. I think depending on your maturity level and your commitment to practicing and being dilligent about learning, it COULD BE a great bike for you.
I would definately consider putting some frame sliders on it. Beginners tend to drop their bikes in the first few miles/first few times out. It’s about $100 at the most, and will be worth every penny.
Good luck!
