    Both the bikes are well refined and proven machines each have their own fan base. Yamaha FZ-1 is a liquid cooled engine whereas the 796 is a air cooled engine being a weekend bike when you plan for long rides air cooled engine will have excess of heat which will toast your thighs.
    And for tall riders like you FZ-1 will fit perfect, 796 are designed for short riders.
    On the balance you can go for FZ-1 which has good overall package and fun to ride quality

        I'm 6 feet tall and the Monster looks puny when I stand besides it.

        The 795 and 796 are same in size. here's a pick to give you an idea of how I look besides it.

        FZ is bigger than the Ducati 796 and will suit your size more. If it was upto me I would pick the Ducati but not the monster (but the hyper 796)

        out of FZ1 and Monster, Personally I would go for the Yamaha.
        Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

          Well!!Ducati would be my choice as they are great machines with excellent design and engineering.But for performance anything above the Ducati 848 would get the ADRL rush.
          The FZ1 would get that "smile" on your face every time you'd whack the throttle.And the IL4 sounds anyday much better that the Ducati's desmo rattle.Check out the Cb1000R too as shes a beauty and very ITALIAN in design.
          Keep the rubber side down.
          Ciao!!
