In any case, I decided to put together my own comparison. I analyzed dyno charts of the 09 FZ6R. Now I understand the number of variables that affect a dyno chart's accuracy.. And here it is:.

Sure it has 20 less H. Sure I can get in trouble with it, it is faster than most of mid eighties vintage but the engine is such a gem with the fuel injection managment,really decent handling etc. The FZ6 maybe on paper a better bike,after all aluminum frame,swingarm, more H. I have read a few articles that the FZ6 does have a few quirks especially with part throttle responce ,,where the 6R shines.

It all really come down to what YOU want. A few years ago I would have scoffed the 6R just because the FZ6 was "a better bike" in my then narrow minded view. Now that I am older alot!! I don't want to ride fast any more and see if I can get a knee down,, I just want to nice sporty motorcycle that has good acceleration,good brakes, and will corner nicely.

To me it is kind of like having a Italian Sports car,,, I want something that responds to my every input , that makes me feel confident and do it in style. I was afraid when I got back to biking last year that a cruiser would have to be my only choice because of my short inseam.

I for one,am happy to have it in my garage. Don't get me wrong here, guys. I think the FZ6R is a great bike. I'm still very interested in buying one.

I just can't agree that a few HP here and there makes up for the missing top end. It's an oversquare 4-cylinder. It was never meant to make great low- and midrange power.

If you want a strong low- and mid-range, you're better off with a totally different layoute. I can only conclude that Yamaha's goal was to make the FZ6R more marketable to beginners. And there's nothing wrong with that. I rode one last weekend and really liked it And I am definitely still a beginner. The ergos are comfortably neutral. The plush supsension makes it a great real-world sportbike. The engine is counter-balanced well, with no perceivable vibration. I really like both of these bikes But eventually I will have to choose between the two.

What are the major differences? As far as I can see one is sport touring and one is super sport. But other than that they have the same engine and nearly everything else is the same. They even come in the same colors. I am leaning more towards the R6 just because of the looks. The YFZ is not a full on sport bike, longer single seating, and upright position
