Yamaha FZ6 Fazer Review

Yamaha FZ6 Fazer Overview

One of the most popular bikes from the Yamaha series was the Fazer 600. However, when the new EU emissions regulations came into force in 2003, the Fazer 600 did not make the cut. As an alternative the company introduced the new and advanced F6 in the markets. With a superb engine, great looks and terrific handling it was one of the most versatile bikes around. Whether it is for long rides in the countryside or travelling around sharp city corners, the bike is a winner.

This bike features a detuned engine and offers a tonne of acceleration at all levels. The only thing is the bike needs a lot of revving to bring the engine to life to its true power. Later in 2007, an upgraded version was introduced that also offered better fuelling.

The handling is spot on because of its great features like sturdy tyres, great suspensions, new chassis and wide handle bars etc. The braking is sharp as well. The only niggles are the play on the throttle, a not so smooth gearbox and a heavy clutch. Despite these minor issues, the bike is seamless to ride on the open road.

The bike is relatively durable, including the chassis. However, care needs to be taken to polish parts at intervals, to ensure they retain that brand new gleam and shine and prevent corrosion from damaging them. The highlight of the bike is its brilliant ergonomics which make it comfortable for people of all sizes and shapes to ride.
