Noiiice. I always like the FZ's. Engine just has some differences in camshaft size and less insane injection. On straight pipes they sound fucking mental. Also can apparently do 160.
*edit. @lynx knows his shit!
Shit, needed special tool for cam chains as well?! How dense the whole block was scared me from working on it, but aside from that, that bike was quicker than it made out to be.

No special tool for the cam chain, the vfr800 has the vtec system (separate) valve that need the honda tool so that you can check the clearances on them. The bike has to be quite stripped apart, oil and water rads need to be moved hence possible issues with things breaking.
Had the usual honda cam tensioner issue I think.

Sub 2.5k if possible. Getting 1.7 back from my write off plus whatever I can somehow get for the scrap bike so I’ll have to put a bit towards it.
I’d stretch for something really awesome but I do think I’m setting on the FZ6. Like the look of them a lot and with a couple of subtle mods I think I’d be quite happy with it as a replacement for the GSR.
Basically a naked R6 instead of a naked GSXR
