Meh, it's alright. It can do some cool stuff, but at the end of the day its still an FZ6R. Better platforms out there for custom builds.

Best thing about modding the FZ6R is you can make it into whatever kind of bike you want. Sport tourer? Check. Commuter? Check. Weekend canyon carver? Check.

The bike cost more than I put into mods, and I wouldn't change a thing. It’s like I have a custom bike made just for me.

It’s honestly better off not touching it. The design was good by Yamaha and most mods just make it worse. Instead, spend your money on gear and gas.

Subtle, tasteful mods are what the FZ6R is all about. It’s really something you can really enhance the strengths of without going overboard. But it’s all about finding that balance.
How does the FZ6R stack up against today’s 650cc twins in terms of real world rideability?

The FZ6R's inline-four is smoother, more refined than any 650 twin. A more pleasant ride especially for longer trips.

They have 650 twins that have way better low end torque. They make them much easier to ride in the city and also more fun on twisty roads. Feeling flat, the FZ6R is.

I have ridden both and to be honest the FZ6R is more versatile. Around town it's smooth, but there's still a rush at the top end when you want it. Best of both worlds.

Today's 650 twins are just better all around bikes. More than enough power for the street, better fuel economy, easier maintenance. Against this backdrop the FZ6R feels a bit dated.

That depends on how you ride. The FZ6R is the bike if you like to rev it out and enjoy that four cylinder scream. If you want easy accessible torque, go twin.

The FZ6R feels more special. While anyone can buy a 650 twin these days, the inline four gives the FZ6R a character all its own.

A 650 twin is hard to beat for real world riding. Better fuel economy, more relaxed engine, and still plenty fast. Twins are more practical, but the FZ6R is fun.

I moved from an FZ6R to a 650 twin and regretted it. I missed the smoothness and the top end rush. I went back to an inline four and could not be happier.
Has the Yamaha FZ6R gone the way of the Dodo and become irrelevant in 2025, or is it still worth your time?
10 January 2025 08:27
Absolutely still relevant! The simplicity of the FZ6R is its strength. Just pure riding experience, no fancy electronics to go wrong.

It's outdated, man. Today's 650 twins give better performance for similar dollars. It feels ancient compared to the FZ6R.

Depends on what you're after. It’s still solid for a reliable commuter or beginner bike. If you’re after cutting edge tech, though, you’re out of luck.

I think that's more relevant now than it was back then. So with all these complicated bikes out there, it's nice to have something so straightforward.

It's a dinosaur in 2025. No riding modes, the power delivery is so 2010, basic ABS at best. Time to move on, Yamaha.

It’s a good pair of jeans like a FZ6R, never goes out of style. It's not flashy, but it works and works well.

It's hard to beat for the used market price. They’re known to last forever, and you get a lot of bike for the money.
