The bandit will romp allover the FZ6 re torque, but the FZ6 is a bike with a dual personality, very gentle below 8000rpm, awesome power above 8000rpm.

Which IMHO makes it a great city bike, as well as a great sports ride, when you get out on the open road.

Good luck with your purchase, and by the way, nice Suzi!

great looking bike, im just not ready yet. i have to finish paying off my loan (3K) and decide if i want to buy the FZ6 as an additional bike, or straight up sell the vulcan which is a tough decision.
