I love my Yamaha yfz600r its a sport touring bike more than anything. more upright feel then a standard rocket. great bike been reliable as all can be. Has plently of power for being a heavy bike but not too much for a beginner ,and the banana seat makes for long comfortable rides. Bike still has plenty of power to get up and moving (runs a 11.70@120) but is very easy for even a new rider. It gets 60 mpg on the highway. Mine has 28k miles and has made 500 passes at the track and runs like it did when I bought it.
If you are in columbud anytime soon and want to take it for a ride your more then welcome to come try it out if you want to get a feel for something
Doesn't look too bad personally
