This stunning middleweight is powerfully equipped to master its various domains: the thrust and parry of the peak-hour escape run, Sunday morning in the mountains with your mates, or an overnighter up the coast with your significant other. It’s all too easy with a torque-tuned version of the fuel-injected R6 engine, Controlled Fill die cast aluminium frame, and four-piston monobloc brake calipers – this thing goes like a bullet and corners like a cat on carpet. If you like your excitement raw, try the naked FZ6N, or for a longer distance kind of excitement, choose the bikini-faired FZ6S.
