The Yamaha FZ6 Fazer's handling is spot on due to a great new chassis, fat tyres, wide bars and good suspension ( despite limited adjustment potential) , giving the rider loads of feedback. The R6-derived brakes work well too.
The new Yamaha FZ6 Fazer’s driven by a detuned R6 engine. Predictably, it offers plenty of powerful acceleration but has loads left at the top end: a little more detuning could boost the midrange a bit. With that engine and those brakes having been tried and tested on the R6, there’s not much to worry about there.
