Del Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I'm considering the FZ6 as a replacement for my GS650G. I'm 6'3", 240 pounds. I have no problem doing 500+ mile days on the GS. Any big guys out there on this bike? Is this bike comfortable for big guys on all day rides? Thanks much, Del Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks much, Del I don't necessarily think you're too big for it Del.....it's more a case of the bike will be too revvy for you. It's much more peaky than the original Fazer....consequently you'd be ringing it's neck all day to get anywhere. You'd be better off with the FZ1.

Del Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Thanks for the response. At the risk of offending the only responder, I'm not sure what you mean by "too revvy for you". I've been riding for 20 years; I understand about smaller engines needing to wind higher to make power. And I'm cheap. I don't want to put gas in a big engine. Thanks for your advice, Del Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
