Well it's been about 10 months since I sold the fz6 and bought a '11 GSXR750 and I've been missing the 6 a lot lately. I guess I wanted to be one of the "cool kids" and get a super sport, but I'm not liking it as much as I thought I would. I mean yeah, it's fast as all holy hell and rides like it's on rails and all, but it also sucks on my 40 mile commute to work. In the first year of fz6 ownership I put just over 7k miles on the bike, and it's almost been a year and I don't even have 3k on the gsxr yet. The bike just doesn't match the type of riding that I do. I will admit that I did some ripping on some back roads today and it put a smile on my face, but when your stuck in stop and go traffic or when the road is less than perfect the smile quickly fades. Even after owning the bike all this time I still don't feel 100% comfortable on it. Like when making very slow speed turns, or quick u turns. I dunno a part of it just doesn't feel right. I just don't know what I should do...suck it up and keep riding it and hope it'll get better and I'll get used to it, or try to sell it and get the bike I was originally looking to get (ninja 1000 or z1000) I really just needed to vent I guess, and looking for some suggestions. Ultimately it's my decision, but it's nice to hear some other peoples take on it.
It sucks that a bike this good looking has me in a bind
