The fazer 6 as it´s affectionally know in certain circles was my first bike for almost 20 years....and boy did I make a good choice...I am no lightweight and still after 2 years with it, I still get a buzz when I am roasting it..negative points, well I suppose that if you are tall and a wee bit on the wide side you might have a wee problem with the mirrors..you get used to it!... if you are thinking about a 600 bike and dont need a supersports thing then the fazer is your right choice...Good luck,Good riding
