Missing The Fiz-Sometimes
No sarcasm intended. I purchased my FZ6 three years ago while I was in my MSF class. With the exception of the 6 or so hours I spent on the MSF bike (I seem to recall it was a Suzuki 250) the FZ6 is the only bike I've ever operated).
I'm reading all these posts about not starting with with a 600cc bike because of the power, but I've never found the FZ6 to be that intimidating (I'm sure I don't push it to it's limits - nor would I if I had the skills). My plan was to keep the FZ6 for a few years then migrate to the touring bike I would keep for some time (most likely a second hand R100RT, ST1300 or perhaps the FJR). Now, I'm kicking myself for not springing for the bigger bike up front as I'm having a hard time working it into the family budget (gotta admit, it's a totally selfish, unnecessary purchase).
My question, am I really going to be disappointed when I finally get the touring bike. Is the FZ really that quick?
