I've been riding for over 22 years now, have had liter bikes, and last bike before my FZ6 was a GSXR750, I have the FZ6 5 years now, still love it, as a lot of people say, 600 is all you need for the street, I ride hard an aggressive (safely), but on the motorways say I'm doing 120mph cruising (not the easiest thing to do on the FZ6) but Ive had bigger bikes fly past me.. not that that bothers me, but I'm 45 and was going to a Nitron R3 rear shock on the FZ6 and Andreani internals fully adjustable fork internals.

My pals on liters bikes, said.. man don't bother, just get a FZ1 with better suspension, better brakes, etc..
One thing put me off the FZ1 Is I read online that it has bad ground clearance?!? not sure if that is true at all.. , I can get the knee down and corner very well on the FZ6.

Anyway folks any help towards my decision is very much appreciated.
Ride safe guys n gals!

Get an fz1
 
Not sure if I've been a member here long enough to be able to say "Welcome!" but wth!

I'm no "knee down" rider, only coming close a few times on the track, but that does seem to be an issue with the FZ1 from all the reading I did prior to buying mine. Easily remedied with rearsets if you have the money/inclination or different foot pegs that aren't so thick 'n chunky (my route)...
