I bought a FZ6 Fazer s2 November 2008 shortly after passing my A2 license. As I was moving up from a YBR125 I initially found the FZ6 heavy, easy to handle, and speedy even with a restrictor on. The FZ6 is a great commuter bike not to big to weave in and out of traffic, and a dream on the motorway when crusining between 75-80mph.
I'd recommend the FZ6 Fazer s2 with restrictor to anyone passing their A2. I'm going to keep mine for two years then consider something without a restrictor which just might be a new FZ6 Fazer s2.
