If your not worried about the maintenance issues mentioned above I would go with a Bandit 400 for aesthetic reasons..
I also rode one last year in the city and because it is quite small and narrow it is easy to squeeze through tight spots with ease..
either way they are both great machines

As far as I know if your between FZ6 and a Ninja 650 your looking at 2 completely different engines...
