If you can live with the seat position, go for it.
I've been thinking about it to ... but i'm 6"1 ... I think it will be hard for slow city rides ... but then again ... I never do those

Well, you certainly have the roads for it. :thumbup:

Why R6 when you can R1? Like mine! Mmmmmm lovely. Oodles of power. It'll shake your eyeballs out of your sockets. And it doesn't have the R6's dodgy gearbox

Used to have both a 2002 r6 and 2007 aprilia rsvr.
The best part of the fz6 or even fz1 is seat position. There is nothing like the feel and position of a true sport bike when you want it.
However, the other 90% of the time when you ride your bike seat position is all too important and overlooked.
Currently riding an fz6 but my next bike hopefully in the spring will be an fz1.

I'm 6foot and sat on a R6 as friends held it up. I felt like a GIANT on it...I love the bike, but it was like sitting on a pocket bike!
I haven't tried a R1 yet though...

i'm5'8 so the bike just fit me good, i rode my friends gixer for an hour and loved it but that bike for me the position was to far forward and to low on handle bars,but the r6 perfect fit:Flash:
