Looks likme a really nice job, I used to love cleaning my cars (when I had a decent one) can't get the enthusiasm to do the same with the bike (I do clean it but don't spend the 4+ hours I used to on the car) lol

FZ1 all the way.
Although, saying that I've just totally ignored my own good advice and bought a 2006 FZ6 with PC3 and Scorpion cans. I think in the midrange its actually stronger and smoother than my dads FZ1 and its so small.
Part of the reason I think is hes running de-cat and exup delete on the stock map and I think it needs some dyno time to get the fuelling sorted in the midrange.
Lovely bikes though. Great for 2 up and touring. Would have got one if I could afford it. ____________________ CBT Passed: 30/08/2009, Theory Passed: 31/08/2010, Mod 1 Passed: 6/9/2010, Mod 2 Passed: 13/09/2010. Restriction ended 13/09/2012.

The FZ1 will be faster.
I doubt the TDM has much more (maybe less) power than the FZ6 but it will have a lot more torque it would be quicker in a straightline race. The TDM will be much easier to ride and will pull better in higher gears than the FZ6.
If you are looking for a step up bike the FZ1 would be better and feel like a bigger jump. If you are looking for a workhorse the TDM will be better. |
I'm questioning the things in bold.
More comfy, the FZ1 is a lovely position and really I don't think there is anything in it. It's still a sit up bike and the faired version gives very good wind protection at speed. TDM is lighter, quick google suggests they are practically the same.
Quick google suggests the TDM puts out below 70hp. My FZ6 is at 95. Yes it does have more torque but not much though. FZ6 would be quicker in a straight line though.
Don't think you can say the TDM will be easier to ride. The FZ1 is very forgiving, more so than the FZ6 I think.
It does depend though as you say. ____________________ CBT Passed: 30/08/2009, Theory Passed: 31/08/2010, Mod 1 Passed: 6/9/2010, Mod 2 Passed: 13/09/2010. Restriction ended 13/09/2012.

i was comparing the TDM to the FZ6
I reckon it will be comfier, the seat is plusher and designed to be more of a tourer.
You googling is fail, the TDM puts out 86 BHP and 89nm of torque. The FZ6 puts out 63nm.
The Torque is the big difference, and was related to my point about being easier to ride. The Engine is lazy, and can pull in any gear whereas the FZ6 has the majority of the power in the top of the revs.
I'm imagine the FZ6 would be like my S4 (98bhp/68nm) That is revvy and you have to be high the revs the get to the real power, I imagine the FZ6 is even more peaky due to less torque.
Anyway I'm always put for a traffic light GP start if you want to find out which is faster.  ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

Oh my bad.
You'd be surprised actually, I thought the FZ6 was going to be revvy like its reputation but its got a lovely midrange.
Sure, I'm up for that anytime  ____________________ CBT Passed: 30/08/2009, Theory Passed: 31/08/2010, Mod 1 Passed: 6/9/2010, Mod 2 Passed: 13/09/2010. Restriction ended 13/09/2012.
