Me again Locksmith
......genuinely intrigued as i was close to getting one......what would win on stonkyness........so we're talking 55mph & an overtake is due........the FZ1 is in 3rd gear..........many cars can be passed while holding on & without needing to change gear mid overtake ie 4th car.........how would the MT compare?????.....seems to be where the FZ has some serious grunt...maybe even 4th gear i dunno as im still really finding my feet on it.But the FZ does feel heavy up front......but that keeps the front wheel down so when flying it is stable at least i suppose......but im used to the light end of a naked 600 FZS in corners & it is so easy to not run wide on in a corner on the 600 whereas on the thou if i dont get it right i feel it is trying to fire me into the grass.
Soooooo..........what's the main advantage of the MT......im guessing it's the corners.......or does it out grunt the FZ on overtakes too?....single gear comparison though not changing gears mid overtake.?
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
