Description:
The Yamaha FZ6 is one of our more popular motorcycle rentals. Yamaha has focused on creating a light, compact, and fun motorcycle around the current R6 engine. This bike is a multi-purpose, go-anywhere, do-anything middleweight. The FZ6 is just as happy going for a brisk sport ride or taking you on a weekend tour. The good fairing coverage plus the comfortable seat and riding position make this a great rental motorcycle for a quick jaunt to the hill country.
The Yamaha FZ6 is also very striking, attractive motorcycle. The controlled fill, sculpted frame, the aggressive aerodynamic windscreen and half-fairing, and the undertail exhaust are all elements that add to the FZ6's high tech, sport motorcycle look.
