I think the FZ is ugly.
I don't like the ducs since the 916/996 body style.
MV Agusta can keep on doing what they want, I still want one.

It's not the be all, end all, but not a bad bike by any means.

that the FZ6 is ugly stock and uglier naked?
I don't think it's "ugly". People like what people like.

that not everything Ducati makes is the best thing ever?
+ a billion They are nice bikes. But so are Aprilia, Bimota, MV Agusta, etc...

that MV Augusta has been using the same bodywork for the last 15 years?
If they sell, and no one complains, that's up to them. Still like the F4 312.

maybe trackdays aren't that great and maybe not all of us wanna do them?
Agreed. Some want to do them, some don't.

keeping your bike clean DOESN'T automatically make you a poser?
I like to keep mine clean. But I ride it in all weather, and she got an orange mud bath on Saturday. I don't get out the Q-Tips, but she got a nice wash and shammy.

Arai and Shoei helmets aren't that great?
I love my AGV, but I tried on both, and they were nice.

here's my actual opinion of the FZ6:
when shopping for my second bike, i WANTED to like the FZ6 really bad. i like the undertail exhaust and the idea of an affordable bike with an R6 motor. i don't like the upright ergos, the banana seat, the heavy-ish wet weight, the funky tank, and the narrow, top heavy look. the SV is probably quicker with the way i ride anyways.

oh and about the helmet, i'm not mad because i can't afford Shoei or Arai. i just like my SHARK better

I understand hating on the FZ6. I mean it might actually run for a few yeras without falling apart like an SV650.
