They are both pretty. Strictly for looks and nothing else, I'd say the naked one.

I will then say that which one is prettier is just about at the bottom of my priority list.

They are both Yamahas, and look to be roughly the same size. Have you actually ridden them, or just sat in the showroom? Which one feels better? Which one does the kind of riding you want to do better? Which one is easier to customize with whatever you want to put on it?

Well the nakked bike while I was there REALLY caught my eye. When I sat on it that won me over even more. I sat on a bunch of bikes that day, but this one was the best feel for me.

As for test ride, they dont let ya test ride them.. I have test rode the YFZ 600R(the blue bike) a friend of mine has one, it rides nice but if I had to ride it long distance my back would be hurting...

Looks like I will most likely be going with the FZ6(Silver and Black)

No test rides? I've never bought a new bike, but that seems like a lot of money to have never ridden it at all. Is that industry standard practice? If it is, I need to make friends with someone who owns a Fat Boy in the not too distant future since I already know people with a low rider and a heritage softail classic.

I think that is just at that dealer but I am not sure... I do know harley does do test rides
