Test rode a four cylinder naked(fz6) and I can't get it out of my head


I was up in the best canyons my city can provide without riding out for an hour. Beautiful turns(almost all kinds) , great tarmac and great weather. A buddy of mine has a new to him fz6 s1 naked and he gave it to me to go down the mountain. All I have ever ridden are single cylinder bikes (my first bike, a cbf125 and my xt600 supermoto). The power and the sound of the fazer had me smiling all the way down. What a beast. Compared to my bike it was like a rocketship, first time I've dealt with something so powerful. My legs were beautifully wrapped around the tank, the seating position was perfect, for me it was a almost attack position having ridden only extremely upright bikes for all my life. The front brake was great compared to my bike. Some bad stuff now(some of this particular bike, some of the model itself) , I found the seat a little uncomfortable,the gearbox wasn't smooth at all, it wanted decisive foot movements, the throttle cable needed adjusting so I had a sore wrist afterwards and the front seemed a little heavy, it might want some more psi, but that could have been me never have ridden such a bike before. Making a long story short, I'm buying a fazer 600. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/e8rnpl/test_rode_a_four_cylinder_nakedfz6_and_i_cant_get/?utm_source=ifttt
