[QUOTE="UselessPickles, post: 912346, member: 3256"] I should mention that even though it is not as powerful as a 600cc sport bike, it is much more enjoyable to ride as a commuter/sport-tourer than something like a CBR600RR due to the mid-range torque and the way it is geared (and the seating position, of course). It actually accelerates faster than the 600cc sport bikes up to about 40mph, so it's got plenty of power for lots of fun on twisty roads. It's not until about the 50+mph area that a 600cc sport bike starts to completely rip the FZ6R to shreds. [IMG]https://www.uselesspickles.com/files/pictures/accel_fz6r_r6_cbr600_zx10_shadow750.png[/IMG] The best part is that it's just fun, easy and comfortable to ride. On the previous 2 bikes, my wife needed some significant miles before she felt comfortable and in control of the bike. With this FZ6R, she felt more comfortable on it at the end of a 5 minute test ride than she ever felt on her previous bikes. [/QUOTE]
