the fz6 wont rock your world with the extra 20bhp, the extra 60 will on the thou, i looked at the shiver 750 but so glad i got the thou when i went to the isle of man the day after i bought it, i have a sneeky suspision you will wish you "done it properly" and got the thou if you get the fz6,
ps the thou is the most comfy bike ive rode in a long time ,bang on on motorway and no issues with it through town

I've not ridden either, alot of people on here wont have either. So.. go and get a test ride on both if you can and then make your own mind up.

Its not us that has to live / ride with what you buy

I'm very happy with my SV1000SZ for all types of riding. If you want torque, you will get bored with the buzzy 6. Knock the thou down to nearer 3K and you'll be happy.
