This is too bizarre…
When I first started bike shopping I sat on an FZ6 and got sucked into the sales pitch. “Oh, it’s a perfect starter bike.” My hubby was buying from this dealership and they are a great bunch of guys, very young, hip, informed on what they’re selling but they’re all speed freaks and assume anyone looking at a street/faired bike is the same.
So I’m sitting on the FZ6 trying to figure out how I’m going to pay for it because I LOVE it when the salesman says something about it having 95 horsepwer. Huh? That’s almost as much as my car. How in the sam hell am I supposed to learn to ride on something that weighs 400 lbs and has the horsepower of a 3,000 lb car. Thank you, no.
If you can get the Ninja, do it.
