WHACHU SAY BOUT MY FZ6R!?!?!?
Ha ha j/k It does have some oddities like fake ram air scoops, but otherwise over 10k miles the bike has been pretty bullet-proof. Haven’t had to do anything but basic maintenance and a throttle body sync. It’s a nice beginner friendly bike especially for someone big like myself (6’5″+) because of the ergonomic ajustments and because it has really linear, predictable power delivery, and enough torque that it’ll resist stalling out unless you really dump the clutch. It’s been plenty comfortable for the rides to laconia and americade, plenty of fun in the twisties, and it’ll move when you want it to.
Anywhoo AMEN! to the new Ninja 1000. I love everything about that except the underside where the exhaust looks like something from an old yard sale. Why couldn’t they have sprayed it black like they did on the FZ6R? Oh well, maybe after I finish paying for the yami (and pay of the credit cards)…
