FZ6 Fazer
Im just gonna throw this idea "out there" to see what peoples suggestions are.
I bought myself a new FZ6 Yamaha fazer 600 in april last year and i love it. Goes well, reliable and comfy. What do you lot rekon it will be like as a RTW bike 2up?
Ive been looking for some time now at what bike i want for the task but cant really make my mind up. The big BMW's seem monster heavy (and expensive) and the smaller 600's and 650's might be abit slow for my type of riding. The fazer is good in that has the power of the bigger bikes (although less torque) with lightness and cheap
Ive used it two up alot and it goes well, can sit at 80, 90mph no problem. Comfort is also pretty good, would be better with a taller screen and new seat tho.
How difficult would it be to make it a proper RTW tourer? Ground clearance isnt great and suspension etc would obviously need uprating. Do 4 cylinders not really lend themselves to touring?
We have a summer trip planned round europe for 2 weeks on the fazer so that will give me a good idea of its abilities on roads.
Cheers for the help folks, Dave
