2009 Yamaha FZ6R Review
If you find yourself bored on Sunday afternoon, and if the weather permits, you may soon be wishing you had something that was fun and exciting to do. A motorcycle, they say, is the most fun you will ever have on the ground. As an avid cyclist, and as someone who just loves having a good time, I couldn’t agree more. This brings me back to the before mentioned Sunday afternoon, where the sun is shining and the weather is sweet. What’s missing from this picture?
Ah, yes, the Yamaha FZ6R.

Yamaha FZ6 – First Impressions
I purchased my very first Yamaha FZ6 motorcycle 3 weeks back. It is a brand new 2008. Since then, I’ve been able to do some riding and find out what this bike has got.
Some background… I’ve owned two Yamaha bikes prior to purchasing one. They were both Yamaha R6 sport bikes. These R6s were both FAST… VERY fast. And, wouldn’t you know, I like to go fast. This issue was, though, that they were not at all comfortable for longer trips. You sit laying over the gas tank with hands and arms at an strange angle when holding onto the handlebars.
One of the criteria I set forth when contemplating a new motorcycle, and eventually the Yamaha FZ6, was comfort. The other was power and speed. What I encountered in the FZ6 was a much more straight up riding position (FAR more comfortable for both rider and passenger) and a spunky R6 motor.
