Well, my FZ6 had poor brakes and the wind was unbearable at high speed cruisin' (expected from a naked bike but still) so I decided to step up to the R6, at first I thought "awesome!" it has great brakes and wind is no issue at all but then I realized it has problems of it's own too, like how it's gutless until 8000 rpm (goes up to 16500 rpm until redline) and ofcourse it gets uncomfortable when you ride for over an hour. I had an 8 hour trip last Sunday and I was sore for 2 days.. I guess I need to find something in between those two bikes. I work at a Yamaha Dealership so my options are limited lol. Fazer8 is too heavy, XJ6F doesn't have enough power, if they throw some front cowling on that MT-09 that would be my next bike.
