presentation of the FZ6 600 2008
since 2007, the FZ6 has been available in 2 versions (4 with the versatile Fazer). A modernized S2 model with 98 horsepower in the rods; and the standard model presented here. This is the same FZ6 as the 2004-2006 generation, but with less power and a lower price tag. Here, the FZ6 goes straight for the ER-6 n and Bandit 650. This 4-legged model is aimed more at young riders, with a powertrain downsized to 78 hp, a more easily negotiable insurance rate and, above all, an entry-level price dropping below 6,000 euros. The FZ6 is thus present on all fronts.
streetbikes are in vogue. Hornet, Z 1000 and 750, SV, monster, people want roadsters, and sales figures prove it. In the medium-displacement category, Yam leads the way with the Fazer. The wind seems to be blowing, and the manufacturer seems determined to fill its sail. Since 2004, it has been presenting the new 600 Fazer. For those brave enough to read the Fazer S article to see the changes made to the 2004 version, just click here. Otherwise, here's a summary: new seamless cast-aluminum frame, fuel-injected engine derived from the R6, new fuel tank, under-seat exhausts, 180 rear tire, new all-digital instrument panel. The Naked version is distinguished by its absence of fork head, its meaner appearance, and its highly distinctive headlight, somewhat reminiscent of that on the MV-Agusta Brutale. The handlebars are wider than on the S, reinforcing the "street attitude". The overall effect is particularly well executed, and we can't wait to discover it devouring the tarmac.
