[QUOTE="UselessPickles, post: 899552, member: 3256"] Is there a particular reason that you must get a new 2011? A couple months ago, my wife got a used 2009 in nearly perfect condition with about 1700 miles, a tank bag, cover, battery tender and 5 year extended warranty for only $4500. Check craigslist, ebay and cycletrader.com for bikes asking around $5000 or less and talk them down a bit. [IMG]https://www.uselesspickles.com/files/pictures/new_fz6r.jpg[/IMG] I'll add to the positive reviews. Its ergonomics are almost identical to the FJR (sport-touring rather than sport), it handles very well, and has very usable power. It doesn't feel useless in the lower half of the RPM range like some 600's do. We plan to add some Givi hard bags and turn it into a mini FJR :) Just be aware that it is nothing like a 600cc sportbike, like the R6 or FZ6, in regards to power. It's plenty fast, but we're talking 0-60mph closer to 4 seconds rather than just over 3 seconds. This will give you an idea of how it accelerates: [IMG]https://www.uselesspickles.com/files/pictures/acceleration.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
