Default Oooh, very nice.

If I decide that the new Speed Triple isn't too my taste, then I think that this will be on my shopping list. It's only £4699, so much, much cheaper than the Triple too.

A serious lack of midrange on the new FZ6, not a problem if you keep the revs high and like that IL4 scream.
Does look good tho, sort of like a speed 4

Yes, I'd prefer good midrange, which is what the Triple has in spades. However, the £3,000 price difference between the two might just swing it. I won't decide until I've test ridden the Triple. It may be that the Triumph has too much power to be fun on normal roads.

Default As per

If you are having test rides have a go on the Kwak Z750S ,pretty basic but I consider it good value for money

At the end of the day its what you like that counts

We had an irregular from the Massive turn up on a shiny new one of these on Friday - traded in his Cagiva Raptor for it. He said it looked nice and it started every time, even in the wet, but it was soulless.

He whised he;d gone for a naked SV thou instead and was off to see if he could track down his old bike yesterday.

I'd look at a naked SV Thou' before a Faser... The Faser is not the sort of bike you want to keep on the boil, unless you intend on gunning it everywhere. SV Thou makes much more sense and is a good backage too. It'll sound better too. Stick a touring seat and a few other bits on it and you'll have youself a real nice all rounder.

That's the 600, isn't it? Looks nice but no midrange.

They're bringing out a 1000cc one before too long, with the current Fazer 1000 engine. Much better

Fair doos, it looks good in black, though.
