Got to agree, i came from honda and test rode a xj6f very similar to the fz6r, excellent bike, its being delivered to me Wednesday, a steal at £3200 in mint condition and just one previous owner.
I nearly bought an FZ6. Actually found your channel because I was considering one. But then I found my Versys, and got that instead. And I love it. That deep, angry grunt when you hard accelerate is so darn satisfying. It may be bigger, heavier, and less torquey but hnnngh. It'll never get old.
@@HalfClickUp I already have my G650GS to do that with lol. Been swapping between them off and on a fair bit actually. Though it doesn't give near the thrill of the Versys, it's definitely useful and fun to ride. It's my easy mode when I want to make a quick run somewhere.
@@lunar-firefly you’re ahead of the game in that respect. Ya know, I’ve literally only been riding Evelyn on Fridays, and I’m definitely starting to take Mondays into consideration as well 😬
Literally the only bike I'd even consider replacing my fizzer with is the rs660, which I wouldn't wanna commute on that triangle, plus I don't get that Japanese reliability, which is kinda important of you're commuting.
I used to think the same thing. I’ve owned almost 2 dozen different motorcycles all different makes and models from cruisers to super sports and all I can say is having a super sport to commute is NOT FUN AT ALL. I was trying to find a bike that does everything well and I picked up a FZ6R with some performance add ons and the bike impressed the hell out of me so I kept it and it’s now the only bike I own. I came from having a 2005 Vulcan 1500, 2002 warrior 1700, and a 2005 gsxr 600 in the stable at the same time. I’m 6’2 240 lbs and ride 2 up frequently with my fiancé which is another 120lbs and it still hauls ass with 2 people on it
@@HalfClickUp Went to a Kawasaki bike demo today and rode a Versys 1000! Really nice but at like $18k kindof spicy compared to that Tracer GT. Damn nice bike tho! Took everything I had to not have my credit ran lmao
@@matthewbundesman4724 hahahaha man I was REALLY close to pulling the trigger on a Versys 650 here in Waco when I was shopping. Kinda glad I’ve got the power of an 800 instead, though!
I got an FZ6R and have zero regrets. Thing is a perfect daily street bike 👌🏼
Yes Sir it checks all the boxes, and is even a formidable weapon on the race track.
Fz6 is faster I just found out but fz6r looks better
@@antnope3042 it’s the sharp edges that do it for me 😬
Got a 2011 Fz6r, fuel mileage , comfort and handling are great for daily commute and highway cruising
Glad you're enjoying your Fizzer! 😊
I totally agree with you.
The fz6 r is my pick as well.
I've the way Yamaha bikes handle and live the sound of Yamaha 4 cylinder bikes.
Simply awesome
Yes indeed! 😎🤙

That IS a steal of a deal.. welcome to the Fizzer Fam! 😎🤙

You should own both 😉
I’m enjoying the capability to swap back and forth at will!

FZ6R bro here, thanks for teaching me how to do a chain and sprocket!!!
Glad to be of some help, thanks for watching! 👍
Just got a FZ6R after watching this thank you fammo
Hey congrats and welcome to the Fizzer Fam! Let the modding begin 😉👌
Literally the only bike I'd even consider replacing my fizzer with is the rs660, which I wouldn't wanna commute on that triangle, plus I don't get that Japanese reliability, which is kinda important of you're commuting.
You and I are like minded brudda! Though I must say my Triumph is proving to be nicely reliable thus far, too.
Oh fuck yea I'm glad I didn't get any other bike than the fz6
Fizzer has a bigger gas tank, making it better for commuting
I wouldn't have anything else either!
😎🤙
Just bought a 15 fz6r love it so far
Excellent choice!!
@@HalfClickUp I’ve noticed there’s not much aftermarket, I can’t find any quality frame sliders the
@@alexcarey5084 search for GYTR sliders. That’s what I run.
@@HalfClickUp those, shogun, and t rex sliders are all out of stock online. Only thing is cheap eBay stuff

I've got to disagree. If choosing between the FZR and the CBR650R, I'd always go with the R6. :)
LOL! Oh Brian 🤣👌

That's for sure FZ all the way 😊
Heck yeah 😉👍
Hey what handle bars are you using?
Woodcraft 41mm clip-ons with 1.5” rise.
Id much rather buy 2 used fizzers then 1 new 650R. It might be cuz I love my '12 fizzer lol
It’s okay to be biased man, I am as well 😆🤙

@@matthewbundesman4724 bet you’re gonna love it. Get that credit app ready bro 😉
I used to have a 2012 FZ6R. It was a really fun bike but not much power,
What did you upgrade to?
@@HalfClickUp I have a Ducati Streetfighter V4S and a 2020 R1.
@@Natureboypkr2 well then, you’re in a completely different league now dude 😬
I rode that CBR650F. Not a bad bike but it felt too plasticy ! If that is a word. And yes the Honda is always more $$$
I wouldn’t mind trying out one of these 650Rs. Would like to feel a 94hp in-line four that doesn’t have a track inspired powerband.
WTH? I've always heard it pronounced phaser (or fazer), not fizer. 🤣😆
That’s a different bike bud. The Fazer is the FZ6.
75 hp compared to 94hp is a 19hp differance ..... why did you say 30...lol
