This vs. That



At first I thought I wanted a Yamaha FZ6R (top pic) which is considered (by whom I don't know) an entry-level sport bike.  Now, I like speed, power, and control.  However, when I sat on the bike I thought, "Wow, this is big.  I'm not feeling very comfortable on this."  I think I could have handled it but perhaps I'm not ready.

So, I moved on to a Yamaha XV535 (bottom pic.)  The picture version is a bit supped up.  The one I was looking at had a basic seat.  So, I have to be careful of the exhaust pipes which might burn my leg but I think this one will be OK for me.  The husband offered to test ride it for me tomorrow and if it runs alright we're buying it.  Oh, happy day.
