not a bad bike at all very nice. Its a lot like the sv650(which is rated number one for starter bike for sport/sport touring bike). They ride about the same, same riding postion very comfortable. One this I like about the sv650 is its like a dirt bike in it forgiveness. Wheelies like a dirt bike. And one of the most fun times I've had on a bike. The fz6 is just a differen't type of power band. Think of it as a v8(sv650) vs a I4 in well something n/a and fast you find the car lol. Vtwins sound awesome with exhaust just saying lol. But you can't argue about the fz6 its a great bike. And both are going to be cheap on insurance and great on mileage.
