While we're on the topic of FZ6's...are there any other decent 2nd bike options with I4's (ideally FI) that insurance won't be a deal breaker on?

yes a twin but a solid all around bike
If you are looking at FZ6 vs. a Sv1000 I would take the SV1000 even though I like I4's.

Hey Dr.L my tires are going flat, should I change my motor and put in a lighter one.
For a screaming all top-end RPM bike that isn't an SS, your choice is limited to one; FZ-6.So I turned 25 and insurance has given me a break! I have put 5000km on my ninja300 over the past year and love it. Due to timing of pending tickets I am looking for something bigger to lsat me the next two years. If you want to say dont move up or anything post some where elseI love the ninja and how nimble it is and the riding position. The power has been perfect for my street riding, a little lacking on the highway but in the curves with my buddies and there 600's they are not pulling away from me. What I dont like is the seat.. hurts my butt and I've been doing a bit of two up riding and you really notice the difference.
Everyone is saying get a 600rr.. although I feel I am responsible enough with it, I do not plan to do track days now, I enjoy long rides and comfort to me is more important then going 300km ripping down the highway.
I am looking at the FZ6 or the ninja650 as a option. I have 4-6k to spend and my insurance guy said i can get anything up to 1000cc and be similar priced.
I got to test ride it the FZ6 and enjoyed it allot aside from the vibrating mirrors on the highway. It screams like the 300 and I like it. The cbr500.. I prefer the 300. I am just looking for other options, potentially something a little newer that fits in the same category as this. Twisty roads, highway driving, comfortable, and a bit of 2 up.
Thanks!!

Inflate with propane. Ride really hard & tell us what happens
trying hydrogen first
Ended up picking up an FZ6. I tried the cbr500 which I think would have similar personality to the sv650 and prefered the screaming 1-4 which is more similar to my ninja. It is beautiful mint condition.
Now looking to get tires. the back needs to be replaced and the front I think is only a year old and is a Bridgestone BT023. I am looking at putting a T30 Evo on that back. Would it be that bad to mix and match although they are similar tires?
Other recommendations for my tire situation are obviously welcome

dump both tires and go read the thread about sport touring tires here...it has lots of good info.
