    FZ07 vs FZ6R at highway speeds

    The one I test rode definitely had a buzz at 75mph (5300rpm) so that I'd search for a one tooth larger CS sprocket to calm it down a bit. it wasn't awful but was noticeable enough to make long distances a chore. Curly

    Trade 2007 Kawasaki 650R Ninja for 2014 Yamaha FZ-07?
