Description: Key Features:

* Multipurpose, go-anywhere do-anything middleweight; the FZ6 is just as happy taking you to work, for a brisk sport ride or on a weekend tour.
* Style and performance: Controlled Fill aluminum frame, a high-tech half fairing and an undertail exhaust are just a few of the FZ6’s upscale components.
* Super-light and compact fuel-injected YZF-R6S engine is tuned for enhanced midrange performance as well as strong revvability.

New for 2007:

* Even better finish quality of the upper fairing, frame, engine and swingarm back up the FZ6’s outstanding style and performance.
* Reprogramming/refining the fuel injection mapping produces smooth power and excellent response.
* A stylish new swingarm complements the bike’s Controlled Fill frame and adds to its light, precise feel.
* New, four-piston monoblock brake calipers up front provide excellent braking power and feel.
* High-tech instrument display (like the FZ1’s) features analog tachometer, digital speedometer, etc.—also a cool fade-in lighting feature with adjustable brightness.
* New passenger pegs are lower and made of aluminum for comfort and appearance.
* Redesigned fairing, windscreen and new, high-quality paint look great and reduce turbulence.
* New front fender and alumite-finished outer fork tubes add to the stye parade.
* A redesigned seat bottom and cover material feel soft but solid, and make it easier for shorter legs to reach the ground.

Engine:

* 600cc liquid-cooled 16-valve DOHC four cylinder engine with special cams and intake tracts is tuned to produce maximum torque and horsepower at more accessible rpm levels.
* Group fuel injection combines simplicity with excellent response and performance.
* Powerful 32-bit processor and 4-jet bidirectional injectors negate the need for the R6’s suction-piston vacuum assist system and are 75 percent lighter.
* Six-speed gearbox with triangulated input and output shafts, heavy-duty clutch and through-the-frame shifter for years of precise, positive shifting.
* Stainless steel underseat exhaust system with heat shield looks cool and doesn’t interfere with passengers or luggage.
* Acoustic analysis of the downdraft intake tract and exhaust produce a bike that sounds as cool as it looks.
* Large radiator with ring-type fan for excellent cooling capacity.
* Yamaha Air Induction System, along with a metal honeycomb type catalytic converter, let the FZ6 pass strict EU2 and CARB emissions standards.

Chassis/Suspension:

* Strong and very light Controlled Fill die cast aluminum frame is made from only two pieces, which bolt together at the steering head and in the swingarm pivot area.
* Five-point stressed-member engine mounting design consists of two crankcase mounts per side and one mount on the left side of the cylinder head for excellent strength and light weight.
* Placing the engine’s crankshaft axis close to the FZ6’s roll axis aids quick handling and light, positive steering.
* 25 degrees of rake, 3.8-inch trail and 56.7-inch wheelbase for quick handling and excellent tracking.
* Single shock link ageless rear suspension is simple and light, with sport-biased damping tuned for a controlled, progressive feel; extruded aluminum swingarm is 23.2 inches long for reduced chain-pull effect, further bolstering the FZ6’s outstanding handling.
* Placing the battery under the fuel tank and behind the steering head helps achieve 51 percent front wheel weight distribution and excellent handling.
* Single-piece upper triple clamp/handlebar mount with tubular handlebar for excellent front-end feel, feedback and light steering; 35-degree steering lock means excellent maneuverability in traffic.
* 43mm, wide-set fork tubes for excellent rigidity and confident braking performance.
* Extremely light YZF-R6-type five-spoke wheels keep unsprung weight low for improved suspension action and handling, acceleration and deceleration.
* Thick dual seat offers exceptional solo or two-up comfort; passenger grab rails and bungee attachment points.

Additional Features:

* Upright, comfortable riding position with great weather protection. Light, effortless handling for urban use, comfortable long-distance cruising, and serious sport riding too.
* LCD two-color instrument display with integrated bar-type tachometer on the left, and numerical speedometer in the center—also two tripmeters, clock, fuel, intake air temperature and water temperature gauges, and usual indicator lights.
* 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 radial tires complement the FZ6’s modern look, and its increased torque and great handling fully exploit the superb grip they provide.
* Large windscreen provides good protection and minimal noise; anti-reversion panels on each side of the fairing reduce turbulence.
* Completely unique, CAD-drawn fuel tank meets the needs of style, handlebar clearance and tactile feel in one beautiful package crafted from high-stretch titanium-rich alloy.
* Sporty, taillight design reduces both weight and size while providing excellent visibility.
* Centerstand for easier maintenance.
* Standard toolkit and U-lock storage under the seat.

Pros: tossability, quickness, comfort, cost, quality

Great multi-tasker bike. Wonderful in the twisties, comfortable seating, great engine, slightly notchy tranny on upshifts, good looking and priced right.

Pros: Fast, good suspension ( very important in New Orleans ), brembo masters and nissin calipers.
Cons: single lowbeam headlight, quiet exhaust, seperate seat and helmet lock, helmet lock is hard to get to.

the fz6 is a great all around bike the fuel injection makes starting easy and the 14,000 rpm red line is great. the seat is comfortable but I wish Yamaha would have made and integrated seat and helmet lock like on the old XS series as well as placing it in a more accessible position. The fuel trip meter is very accurate. the cluster has simple adjustments

Pros: weight.
Cons: having to come to a stop to go into first gear

got my FZ6 on 5/5/07 and I do like the bike overall. Not used to coming to a stop to go into first gear though. Yamaha tells me it locks you out so you have to stop. The other models such as the track bikes have a "slipper clutch" or something where you can get to first gear at any speed.

Pros: Price, engine, ergos, looks, brakes.
Cons: Slightly notchy trans.

I just got my 2007 FZ6 and I LOVE IT.

Coming off a Yamaha Warrior I am really glad to be back on a sportbike again.

This bike feels like it weighs nothing, the riding position and seat are very comfortable, and it has great midrange torque for a 600.

Overall, I think this is THE BEST bike for the money if you want sport performance but comfy ergonomics.

The under-seat exhaust system is sexy too.

Pros: R6 motor,cool frame,comfy ergos
Cons: power in the stratosphere rpm range

I have had my FZ for about 8 months.It is a pretty good all around bike.
I installed the dual scorpion exhaust and it sounds great. I had an sv 650 before and enjoyed the torque at lower rpm of the twin and it was also more
stable at triple digits. I have heard that a steering stabilizer would fix the shake.It is an attractive bike for the money and low insurance rates too.
see you on the road
