[QUOTE="Dwavey, post: 251143, member: 2239"] Why mamayama had to change the fairing on the FZ6 is beyond me. The previous one was wider and did a much better job deflecting the airstream. Combined with their touring windscreen with the flip it was a decent bike for longer rides airstream-wise. The paint pattern on the 04 - blue tank and bodywork, silver on the frame and engine - did make it look much like FJR jr, even moreso with a set of SHAD hardbags. Mamayama already has a bunch of sport bikes that appeal to the street sport crowd and the FZ6 was just as successful on this side of the pond as it was in Europe so I don't know why they felt they needed to make this one look more like a street sport instead of leaving it as more of a standard ... maybe they're planning to bring the naked version over from Europe too? It is a fun bike though and the Cal-sci windscreen looks good. [/QUOTE]
