What's the difference between a yzf r6 and an fz6r? anyone?

They're both super sports and both 600cc's, but there's like a $3000 price difference, the r6 being the more expensive one.

an r6 is a fully faired sportbike, an fz6 is a half faired, with a much more upright riding position, amungst many other differences.

It's kinda like the difference between a GSX-R and a GSX-F.

Is it hard to do w/ a 600, because I couldn't manage to pull the bike up more than maybe a foot off the ground, and that was slipping the clutch all the way to 14-15k rpms. What am I missing here? Comes up so easy in first.

yea... he wanted the price lowered cause of no front end... LOL..

He got the woodcraft rear sets, the only seat I had left, slip on, power commander, adjustable levers, and K&N filter. $3000

Thats ok though... cause now I have another set of fairings!!!! Just need to come up with another frame and I can put together another bike... so... I will make much more from that one bike... works out for me.
