Today there are so many genres of motorcycles of which sports touring is one of my favorites. If you are a beginner and want a sports bike which is more of pleasure than performance, the Yamaha FZ6R is one of the good motorcycles to consider. For the model year 2013, Yamaha has unveiled the Yamaha FZ6R and ,let me say this, it looks stunning.
Especially the stance of the motorcycle with a low seat height and handle bars that are perfectly positioned, it feels in control and very planted on the road. Complimenting the feel of the motorcycle, is a 600 CC, DOHC, fuel injected engine which is refined and adequately powerful for long rides.
