Yamaha FZ6R

After talking about getting the M1 on the license in the past 10+ years, I finally followed through, took the basic rider course, and passed the DMV written test. I got the new Yamaha FZ6R as my first bike. It has a 600cc engine. I chose this bike because it has a more upright (comfortable) position while remaining sporty enough to handle the twisty roads. The FZ6R is also a great bike for beginners. It is a versatile bike with plenty of power for a rider who wants to take the bike on long trips, cutting curves, or simply commute. I compared the Yamaha to Kawasaki's ERN6, and I considered the Ducati Monster as well.
