Im quite sure the Fazer holds its own. According to MCN;
Fazer 600 (01) = 95bhp , 61lb torque, 189kg
ZX6R (99)= 106bhp, 48lb torque, 176kg
So (figures are basically a guide) the Fazer has 11bhp less, 13lb more torque, and is 13kg heavier. ZX6R rider probably 1.5 stone heavier than me, but we are both experienced. I don't know the difference in gearing but the ZX6R is much faster top speed which is undoubtedly helped by aerodynamics. So in a drag race to 130 (it seems a fazer is close to vmax) its quite believable that they match (virtually)
I also have a Firestorm, obviously different again. So a drag race in 4th from 60mph, Im quite sure the VTR will leave the Fazer for dead. But in a drag to 130? Not sure.
Its not a scientific experiment, but its a fair comparison (ZX6R v Fazer) just as an indication of the Fazers ability. Underrated
Would be most excellent to have a 0 - 130 day out on a nice Airfield sometime All types welcome
