All of the above really, the FZ6 does everything - commuting, touring, thrashing and bimbling - all reliably, at reasonable cost and while looking good. It's not the best in the world at any of those things, but it's nowhere near the bottom either, and it has the highest power/weight ratio in it's class. I never, ever feel envious of other people's bikes when I look around because I always end up thinking "nice, but I couldn't commute/tour/thrash/bimble on that" As I can only afford one bike it has to do it all, which the FZ6 does.
