2004 Yamaha
FZ6
MSRP $6,599
The FZ6 presents itself as a bit of an irony. Not only does its screaming motor clash with its upright and "proper" riding position, its handling qualities are also a bit mismatched. And while it steers into a corner smartly, the FZ then doesn't offer much feedback from the front end. And although wheel control is slightly better than the two other Japanese bikes (it, as does the 599, has a linkless rear suspension), the FZ rider has to deal with an abrupt transition when coming back into the throttle.
