Yamaha FZ6 Fazer (2004 - 2009)
The Yamaha FZ6 Fazer is one of the most versatile motorcycles you can ride on your A2 licence. It is an update to the older FZS600 model and the company’s response to some of the most popular all rounders such as the Honda CBF600 and Suzuki GSF650 Bandit.
The bike comes with a bullet-proof 600cc engine that has been previously used in the R6. It is extremely reliable and has plenty of power for reaching maximum speeds, yet it performs well around town and riding down twisty roads.
In terms of equipment, the Yamaha FZ6 Fazer surely doesn’t disappoint. It comes with a durable chassis, comfortable seat and solid suspension that performs really well on all types of roads. On top of that, you will also get a digital speedometer with analog rev counter and a fuel gauge.
Thanks to its practicality and reliability, the Yamaha FZ6 Fazer is without a doubt one of the best A2 bikes it its category.
Keep in mind that there are multiple different versions of the bike available and the only one suitable for A2 licence is the 2007-2008 model with 78 bhp.
