Mine is a 2004 FZ-6 which I use for commuting but I did own a TDM850 a few years back and tbh I'd be surprised at going from a TDM900 to a Fazer 6 - maybe a FZ1 if you wanted more power but not moving "down" in capacity. The FZ-6 is massively capable and would certainly do the job there's no doubt about that but I'd expect the TDM900 to be more comfortable and have more torque which may make it better for touring. Stick an open exhaust on it and it sounds fab as well! The Fazer will be faster so depends how much top end matters.
Having also owned a Fazer 1000 for 9 years (traded in the TDM 850 for it) I'd thoroughly recommend it as a better option than both - I'd go for something like the one also listed http://www.mitchellsmc.co.uk/newbikes2.p...arget=1968
