Interesting that they say that the fz6 is down on power in top 2 gears at passing a car type speed.
well if the power is all at 10k rpm and you're behind a car...isnt it silly to be passing it in 5th or 6th gear where you've got no power, bang it down to 3rd or 4th and rocket passed that car, whole point in having a gearbox isnt it, i mean whether an fzs and an fz6 are both behind that car and the fz6 is in 3rd gear and the fzs is in 4th is a irrelevant as they are different bikes.
even on my fzs i reckon im usually in 3rd or 4th to overtake and so what if you're sitting at high revs while you wait for the point to overtake & i think this is the thing..everyone seems to want to always be low revving as if they are saving the engine when in fact the engines love to be revved up, although for lazy riding i agree that it is helpfull to be able to overtake in any gear without banging down the box and i think that seems to be why so many love the big FZS 1000......coz they is old and lazy :b
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
