Re: look what my friend just bought!

down here its called an ER6N for the naked version and the full fairing version is an ER6F.

its is on our list of approved learner bikes so its not super quick.

my dad looked at them when they first came out for his first learner bike. but considering he could ride anything after 6 months learning, he went second hand and now rides the Z750.

i like them and all the reports are favourable as a learner bike

Re: look what my friend just bought!

Since they're relatively new, I don't think there is much to say in terms of reliablity other than it's jap so it is probably going to be on par with the other Kaws. I think they are a pretty cool bike.

Re: look what my friend just bought!

Basically Kawi's attempt to steal some of the spotlight from the SV650S.. but I hear they are good bikes. I would've gotten one (or the SV650S) if I could have afforded it. Instead I bought a bike that I can't ride and may be losing 2900 because of. Good move on my part.

Hot Bike! I love the red suspension components. It gives the bike a more stylish and aggressive look.

Z, he had an error in his quote... I just fixed it.

It's not like it is over on your board.

Re: look what my friend just bought!

like Aussie said.. its a good bike to learn on..
I talked my friend into buying one in June instead of the supersport he wanted... its his first bike..
Its comfortable and the power is predictable.. His only complaint is that the plastics Buzz..(its pretty annoying) the dealer said this is a common complaint with this model.

Re: look what my friend just bought!

i've been on it a bunch of times, even as fast as 124 mph and it has been totally silent as far as plastic buzzing, at any speed. it's a fun bike overall way too big for just me tho. i sat on it and tried to balance it level and i couldn't reach the ground with even just my toes!
