Greetings helmetvonthrob, and welcome to the foc-ers!
You'll love the Fazer, everyone does, it's The only bike you'll ever need. I've got no experience with the fz6, but owners rave about them. I've had 3 Fzs600's, and always regretted moving on from them.
I've done well about100k on them all year round, with not a single fault on any.
If you buy anything for this bike, buy the best you can get, then you only buy it once.
And tyres.......... Don't get me started
Everyone's got their preferences. A good quality sports/touring tyre suits these bikes well. (in not going to mention maxxis diamonds
