So I'm looking to pick up my first bike. I want something sporty but not a supersport. I love the naked bike look and the fact that you sit in a more upright position.
So I have narrowed it down to 2 bikes. The Yamaha FZ6 and the Suzuki Gladius.
I have found brand new 2009 model years of both these bikes for killer deals.
Here is my dilemma. The Yamaha I have found for $5700 but they do not have as good of financing. 3.99% for 36 months. The Suzuki I have found for $5999 but it is in Texas so I would have to add $500 for shipping. However Suzuki has 0% for 60 months which is pretty awesome.
My other dilemma is the difference in the bikes. I am a huge Yamaha. I have read reviews online and both bikes get good reviews. The Yamaha is a faster bike but since it is a inline 4 you need to be in the revs to get that power and its not as smooth. The Suzuki being a v-twin has a much smoother power delivery but it's not as fast.
I am basically looking to see if anyone has had any experience with either bike and can give me their $.02.
