The advice given to us during the testing was if anything, the A pillars needed to be wider to make air flow around the side and not over it. You could do this by, removing the trim and welding a piece to connect the edge of the drip rail and the A pillar. This would help some but still might not be wide enough. Only testing it could tell.
Check out www.tailofthedragon.com there are alot of pics there. I go there a week out of every year. Its not funny at all when youre on the other side of that. It has happend to me quite a few times. I will say that turn in the pic "gravity cavity" is hard to make. If youre going to fast or not on a sport bike. I broke a foot peg going the other direction last year on that turn/dip.
I ride it 40mi round trip highway to work during the week. Then after work or weekends its all moutain riding. 100 a year is for liability, but the FZ is super cheep to fix out of pocket. The most costly body part is the rear grab handle ($200 +/-). Ive been on alot of bikes and love my FZ it has great egros for riding for extended periods. But by all means get what fits you, and something that gives you that good feeling when your on it.
Id say take a closer look at the FZ6, its an awesome bike all around and I get mid 40's MPG. Mine has alittle work but ive put quite a few liter bikes in there place on the twistys. Also I pay about 100 a year for insurance. Ive also got almost 30K on the clock.
Well Pushing Luck rode today out to Senica Rocks, WV. Put about 300 mi on the bikes today. We got rained on pretty good, although there was no chance of rain today! Im just happy I got the new 2CT scuffed in, Deals Gap in 12 days!
