Assuming you had to?
Mine's getting a bit long in the tooth now, just had its 72k service, and I've been thinking about getting something newer.
Problem is, there's nothing I can think of that dos everything as well as an FZS600.
Looking at the stats of new-ish bikes, and there's hardly anything that comes close to the combination of power, comfort and fuel economy. And I like the speed of the FZS600, yet as its my main transport fuel economy and comfort have to be factors.
The 600 officially has 94bhp and does about 55mpg. Now let's say mine kicks out about 80bhp due to its age, and I'm getting a real-world 55mpg (up to 68 with the 50mph speed limit on the M6 at the moment).
Thing is, everything over 90bhp only does about 40-45mpg, and anything that gives over 50mpg only has 75-odd bhp.
So, can anyone think of a decent replacement? Or did Yamaha get it spot on 20 years ago?
