Good choice, I-4 engines rock, and Yamaha dialed this one so it pulls real good from top to bottom. Once you get acclimated, you will find that you can use pretty much all the power it has to offer and it is plenty enough power to get a good sport riding experience, pulls real clean on corner exits.
The one thing to watch out for is the rear brake lock up, it can happen on any bike, but I locked it several times during the time I owned the FZ6R, luckily the upright steering is very good for balancing a rear lock up slide (it's actually kinda fun, but certainly not something you want to happen).
Post up a pic when you get a chance.
So you don't have the FZ6R anymore, thanks for the input and yeah it does pull great compared to the 300(no regrets with the 300)View attachment 33270

Welcome, and those are some SWEET pics! You should consider entering Bike of the Month. The color-scheme is hot like, well, I keep getting a short vid in my head of Chris Rock in Fifth Element saying "Hot, Hot Hot!"
You're going to love the 6R. How long have you been riding?
when i sold my cbr250r for the fz6r, first thing i did was, find the biggest empty industrial parking lot on a quiet weekend and i tried everything that i was comfortable doing on my cbr250r like ....emergency braking, clutch play, tire lock-up, 0-60mph ..... etc.
for me, that's the best way to know what's "new", and it's safer since i was already comfortable doing those on my last bike. maybe try that :iconbeer:.
nice bike Five-O, love that color-scheme also!
biggest difference so far is what I was doing with 6 gears I'm know doing with 3 LOL also have to get used to the extra 70 Lbs.
