OH MY GOD!! My new Yamaha FZ6 is fucking AWESOME!! I took it out for a spin this morning, and oh my god, I practically creamed my shorts. Here's my review and comparison to the Ninja I previously rode.

Seat height:
It's about an inch taller than the Ninja, but had no problems. I'm short, but the FZ is sooo much easier to balance, even though the bike is heavier.

Ergonomics:
The FZ is a neutral feeling. There is no weight on my wrists, as compared to the Kawi. My wrists would always hurt riding that bike. I love the way I sit on this bike!

Seat:
If I was a guy, my nads would be hurting. The seat is a little hard, but I'm sure I will get used to it. The Kawi was more comfortable.

Instrument cluster:
Holy crap! The FZ is soo much better! This thing even has an outside temperature guage! It's way easier to read my speedo because it's digital, instead of analog on the Kawi. The nicest bonus of all is having a fuel guage. On the Kawi, I would have to keep track of mileage, or wait to go to reserve to know when to fill up.

Shifting/acceleration:
The bike has the R6 motor, so it's real smooooooooth. I love how this thing shifts - incredible!! The Kawi always ran rough and I had to work hard at turning. The FZ is incredibly flickable. Ooooohhh.....I LOVE this bike!!!! This thing GOES!! I took it on the highway and opened it up. Got it to 90 in NO time! The windscreen is awesome. No head bobble at 90 mph. Unbelievable! The Kawi sucked at higher speeds...my head would bobble all over the place. I passed a bus and didn't flinch. I wasn't tossed around, as I would've been on the Kawi.

Lights:
The FZ has the european headlights, so I think I'm gonna keep the high beams on at all times. It also has HAZARDS!!! COOL!!

Kickstand:
Okay, I know..what the hell you're thinking. Well, I had the kickstand down and put it in first. The bike shut off. What the..? It's a nice bonus actually. No more wondering why the hell I keep stalling....yes, I know some of you out there have done this!! The bike will automatically shut off in first gear if the kickstand is down, whereas the Kawi would stall if you try to take off with it down.

Well, that's it for now. This thing is sa-weet. I LOVE this fucking bike!

Glad your having fun with your fzr fazerchick. Good that your wearing your gear, also.

Just in case i come roaring by you in wild madness, with just my boxers on, with one wheel in the air while I salute your achievement.

Oh and yes, Keep the sticky side down too.

Nice.....
Confidence inspiring, it will make you better rider.

And oh yeah, the kickstand thing
It is a good thing, I learned the hard way on a Old Goldwing.
Although the bike and I made it out OK, my drawers did not.

Enjoy, and scrub those tires in

You've got that right!! I put on about 250 miles this weekend, took it to work today, and am taking the day off from work on Wednesday to go for a nice ride with JeffL. In a nutshell, I'm hooked on this bike.

My only complaint - I wish I had upgraded sooner.

I'm meeting up with him in Greenfield, MA. We're planning on running Rt 2 towards North Adams for a bit, then taking some side routes. Gonna help Jeff break in on the riding, seeing that he's a newbie. Not sure how long we're gonna be riding.

Edit: I'm meeting him at 9:30.
