Re: mabbott Interview

So, with a Hayabusa, what makes you like/keep the FZ-6? Inquiring minds want to know!

Re: mabbott Interview

I like the riding position of the FZ6, it is much more comfortable for my 156 mile daily commute! Plus, I love to wheelie the FZ6 without the fear of 1382cc's!!!

I won't lie, the fun factor aka fear factor is greater on the Busa, but the FZ6 is a much better daily bike than the Busa.

156 miles round trip! But, I have heated gear and Palomares Road is 5 min away from work! It makes lunch-time rides sweet!
