Sup N2 Crew! I’m looking into getting a new bike mostly for comfort reasons. I’ve had my current ride is a 2007 FZ6 that I’ve owned since 2009. I love pretty much everything about it except when commute for more than 30 minutes I find my hands going numb-ish and a little discomfort in my wrists. This has been an ongoing issue since I bought it.
It’s specifically the position of the bars that is causing the problem. I don’t really have much choice in changing the position as the handle bars would hit the windscreen at full lock. Furthermore, it’s not from me leaning on the bars. I actually lean on them less than I did with my last bike, an 2002 R6. I put 15k a year on that bike and never had the issues that I have had with this one. I originally assumed that I would get used to it but that never happened.
I’m considering getting a different bike mostly because I don’t feel like I have any other options. So if you have an idea that might make things more comfortable for me, besides moving the bars, I would love to know what you think or if you have a suggestion for a good commuter bike that can handle about 4 track days a year I would love that too.
