I am really interested in this bike. I like the standard ergos and more wind protection (it seems) than the others in this category.
I'm looking for something fun around town but could also do some light touring with. I'm not looking for a [email protected] engine or a ton of horsepower. I just want something fun on back roads and can handle highway speeds all day if needed. Something along the lines of Philly to Pittsburg.
You mentioned you had no buffering, but would have like to have the wind screen raised to take the windblast off of your upper body. How bad was this? Or was it simply noticeable and not problematic. How would the bike feel at highway speeds?
I don't recall seeing anything in terms of gas mileage. Any info on this?
Thanks for the review!

Odd, my post ended under someone elses as a reply. Here it is again:

Thanks for the feedback.
Sorry, didn't mean to bet the mileage thing to death, but I guess what I was referring to wasn't actual miles per gallon, but more in terms of whether you suspected the 4.1 gallon gas tank to be sufficient for touring. But considering you answered my larger question, I guess it will be fine.
Again, thanks for the feedback! Not many sites or pubs out there gives you an opportunity to get your questions answered by the writer.

Re: Ego BandAides!!
So, since I want some wind protection and standard ergos at an affordable price is in some way me needing an ego boost?

The main mark agains the FZ6 is that everyone that has reviewed the bike has complained about the engine being really buzzy. MO rated it in the back of the pack (not last. but back there).
I really like the looks and it seems to offer wind protection and good ergos, but this bike appeals to me more since it seems to have more wind protection with more of a standard seating position...and a few bucks cheaper.
I'm pretty sure the Yamahamaha has more power, but the reported 72 horses that the Euro naked version has sounds fine to me.
