Where Does the FZ6R Belong in the Motorcycle World

Yamaha has decided that the R6 is too much to offer to the 1st time motorcycle owner/operator, but the R3 just isn't enough. How do they solve this issue? The answer is simple and lies in a 600cc sportbike with an adjustable seat height, less power but more even delivery, and a much cheaper price point. We offer you the FZ6R from Yamaha, the "perfect" all-around beginner motorcycle that you won't necessarily grow out of in your first year of riding. With a tuned-down R6 engine, basic suspension package, and thinner profile and tire size, the FZ6R fills a spot in the Yamaha lineup that many may have not known was missing. The biggest question we have is where this bike actually belongs long term, and whether could it be one of the best cheap options for a track bike.
