Yamaha FZ-6 - 2007 Motorcycle Review

The 2007 Yamaha FZ-6 is a very versatile, middleweight with fuel injected R6 power and light, strong aluminum frame with a swing arm, four-pot brake caliper, fairing, seat, and fuel injection. The bike is strongly built to do almost anything and to take you anywhere. This is the bike you will ride to work during the week and through serpentines in the weekends, satisfaction included.

This Yamaha FZ6 has a very comfortable seat but more important it's what's under the seat: a stainless steel exhaust system with head shield which looks cool and doesn't interfere with passengers or luggage.

The fuel injection system provides the bike with its good response and performance but the large radiator with ring-type fan keeps the engine on a reasonable temperature.

Yamaha's FZ6 is equipped with a six-speed gearbox with triangulated input and output shafts, heavy-duty clutch and through-the-frame shifter for years of precise, positive shifting.

This bike's single shock ageless rear suspension is simple and light, with sport-biased damping tuned for a controlled, progressive feel; extruded aluminum swingarm is 23.2 inches long for reduced chain-pull effect, further bolstering the FZ6's outstanding handling.

This is my first new sportsbike and while I have owned sports bikes, cruisers, and other standards, this is without a doubt my favorite to date.  It's light, agile, responsive and a lot of fun to drive.  The seat is amazingly comfortable even on long rides.
