I think EFI came with the VFR800..
Could be wrong though...

Well, the FZ6 is reasonable all-weather bomber, but the finish isn't always to notch and the bolts will corrode easily if ridden in bad weather (salt-strewn roads for example). No comments about the Z750S one way of the other -- haven't ridden one or examined one very closely. Remember, given those same basic choices, I took a KatOriginally posted by katrider

My hesitation with the FZ6 stems from it being a 600 and I already ride a nice touring capable 600. The seating position on the Kat kills my neck after about 1½ hours, so the Fizzer would be better in that respect, but the Z750S has the bump in cubes that makes changing bikes more logical.
The B12 is still on the radar scope, it's just such a great all rounder that I can't ignore it!! But the absence of injection weighs against it. BTW...are there any issues with the new B12s carbs, like flat areas or lean surging??My first aid kit comes with lights and siren

Another bike in the mix...
1998 XX Blackbird (35,000 miles), Corbin, Akropavic, new tires, chain, etc...$5000 US.
Good deal?? Oh yes it is. But do I want the world's fastest tourer (besides the Busa and ZX12R)?? Hmmm, might go look this weekend.My first aid kit comes with lights and siren

The blackbird is an awesome bike. More comfy than the Busa for many, although a bit less torque. $5k is the right price if it has a full maintenance history and is in good shape. Ride it and decide for yourself... BUT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT AS A STARTER BIKE...
Low retail: 4265
Average retail: 5610
Add $85 for the Akropavic.

Check and check mate on the Blackbird as a starter.
I've a long and (PTL) uneventful riding career, but the XX is still a daunting bike...

Dont count out the VFR 800! This thing is a Hidden jem! With the slightly smaller engine than the 1 Litre's - this thing FLY's.
Give it a test drive - everyone I have seen ride it loves it.

Great Power
Non-VTEC version is very stout and bullet proof
