This is my first post on the boards so hi to everyone!
I'm a 20 year old looking for a sensible first 'real' bike for when I hit 21 which is not too far off. I currently own a Cagiva Mito which if you don't know is an incredibly agile 125cc race rep that sounds like a bee in a tin and is as durable as a kleenex at a snot party! I'm in England before you ask as I know you poor guys in the US of A can only ride the Mito etc. on a track
I'm buying new, there's no debating that as I have had an absolute nightmare with used bikes and although this can be avoided by careful selection, I really would prefer the piece of mind knowing exactly what my bike has gone through right from the very beginning.
Anyways, enough of me waffling, is the FZ6 a fun, reliable bike? I have read in countless magazines that it's a great bike but lacks mid range, this is no biggy as I'm used to an extremely narrow power band on the Mito.
I'm looking at getting the naked version and it's the looks that drew me to it in the first place so I'm sold on that aspect. One thing I'm unsure of is, are the naked and faired versions the same except in the cosmetics department? I see you guys on here mainly have the faired version and love some of the aftermarket parts available that you guys have listed but want to make sure they will fit the naked FZ6.
If you've made it this far, thanks for reading, ANY input will be greatly appreciated
