ive rode both alot, and an r6 is really different and i can ride the fz much harder cause im used to it. that being said its also no more or less comfy if what you are into is commuting and twisties. if you like to tour then the r6 isnt good. but for 6-8 hour total day rides its just as comfortable after you spend a few hundred miles getting used to it.
i want a track only bike too, but i have no room for it. you can buy a used race bike with tons of extras, modded to hell and back for 4-5k all day long. the fz needs all kinds of mods to be a decent track bike too. when you start getting into lap times and body position you're gonna wish you had a SS bike. you'll need rearsets, suspension upgrade, full fairings for back straight acceleration. not to mention you have trouble keeping up with the much lighter r6's and what not.
so i say if you dont tour with it, sell it and get a used track only bike. if you must ride on the street, buy a used SS for more money/lesser deal. its up to you, but thats what i would do. and as i said, if i had the room i would use the fz for street/commute and all other would be racing.
