jporter12 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 It's a little more than that. The FZ6R puts out about 65+- horsepower while the FZ6 is 95+- HP. They're quite different bikes.That's interesting. From looking at the Yammy website, the engine is pretty close to the same. I wonder if the FZ6 electronics can be swapped to the R version to get the same power? Is the engine the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the engine the same?I'm no expert, but I believe that both the FZ6 and FZ6r are derived from an older R6 motor and are just tuned differently both from the R6 and from each other.

I'm still wondering what it would take to get a "R" up to the FZ6 power level. Just thinking aloud more than anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagr Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 He always does. Moose. You should prolly just get a C50. We can take the Kat to Todds and give it Tannerite mods all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 oh yea....and dont get two cruisers...you will get bored...have a nice cruiser for long trips and to commute on, and get you a nice sport bike to tear it up on weekends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wht_scorpion Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Okay, I'll say it. The 48 is ghey. The sporty is a WOMAN's bike. You'd look like an elephant fucking a football on that thing. Keep the Kat. Save you're money. Learn how to ride it and move up. So true L.M.A.O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hey Moose, it sounds like you're not sure what you want, but know that it probably isn't the tuna.Why don't you fix and sell the Can and used that to pay down the c-50? That way, when you actually figure out what bike you want, you won't be so underwater with the bike that you can't move it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
