Bike Profile
Answering the call for a lighter weight bike to provide what it's huge super sport bike the Yamaha FZ1 offered Yamaha created a smaller, middleweight powerhouse that was also a cheaper entry level sport bike for the masses. The Yamaha FZ6 had a smaller engine as well as weight so that beginning and intermediate riders could learn to harness the power of such a bike before attempting the huge blast provided by this bikes bigger brother the FZ1.The Yamaha FZ6 came with beautiful full fairings that gave it a streamlined, beauty that was compelling. Such beauty comes at a price however. Dumping a bike with a lot of fairings is expensive to repair and made bikes like that expensive for beginners. For that the Yamaha FZ6 also came in a naked model known as the FZ-6N. With a naked sport bike beginners could feel more comfortable taking their chances without worrying about destroying their bikes while they learned how to handle it.
The 599cc liquid cooled engine provides more than enough power for any rider who wants a sharp looking sport bike. Try as they might, however, Yamaha only managed to shave a little bit of height and weight from this bike that just barely makes it into the middleweight division at 423 pounds (192kg) the 2007 model managed to knock off an additional 13 pounds but it can still be a real handful for lighter riders and the 31.1 inch seat is still on the tall side. It's great stability goes a long way to helping smaller riders control the bike and when in motion it is a dream to ride.
Advantages: Cheaper and a little less power than its big FZ1 predecessor this is a great entry level sport bike.
Disadvantages: Still a little large for smaller riders.
