Its a low geared revvy bike and the fuel injection wasnt a patch on the carburetted 600s(IMO)-Iknow others will disagree but the FZ6 never sold like the Boxeye/Foxeye. The only 2 bikes I would like to have kept in recent years were the FZS 1000 & FZs 600-they both did everything I wanted........if only they still made a modern version of what the old FZS600 essentially was.......The gen 2 FZ6's could be worth a pop though.....just something a little bit meh about them though really.
Now the MT-07- thats a light little bike with a surprising punch for a 700cc twin-Its not perfect but it is great value for money & because I am a sub 11 stone weakling even the rear shock is tolerable(at present). MPG is averaging out around 72 so thats good. Have fitted a Tutoro chain lubricator & an Optimate permanent lead for battery trickle charging.
