Hi. I am a fairly new rider and would like everyone's opinion on getting a 2005 FZ6 as my first bike. I am 5'7 and would like something light, but yet in a fairly upright position.
Thanks!! :)

then the FZ6 is may be a good idea.
Try to sit on & if possible ride it a bit - is a very comfortable bike.
Good luck!

Motorcycles are dangerous.

Last year, Yamaha introduced their all-new FZ6R supersport-inspired motorcycle and this is now one of their most representative middleweight 2010 models. Built with comfort and rider excitement in mind, this is still one of Yamaha’s latest addition to the supersport lineup, an all-new every day motorcycle that gives the impression of being designed for the track. But those are purely design aspects. The fact is that the FZ6R is an unbeatable package of performance, comfort and style at a very affordable price.
