The Yamaha FZ6 is a budget middleweight crossover bike built around the 2003 YZF R6 engine. The engine is retuned for more midrange power where it is more useable. It comes with a somewhat soft suspension that makes it easy on beginners and very well suited for sport-touring, commuting, or just having fun on curvy mountain roads.

A significant factor making this bike a popular choice is its underseat exhaust. Another attractive feature is its half-fairing, positioning it somewhere between a full supersport and a naked streetfighter (although in Europe and Australia the fully naked look is available as the FZ-6N option).

This motorcycle is considered the "Swiss Army Knife" of motorcycles since it can easily handle sport riding, touring, and commuting. Many owners of these motorcycles modify them more to their specific style of riding. Some owners just leave them stock and enjoy the "all-rounder" capabilities. There is a large following of motorcycle owners and many are fanatic about making their FZ6 unique and one of a kind. Because of this, there are many aftermarket parts available.
