Peeps,

Im planning to get an ER6N black. Is there any current owners out there to give comments on the bike and if it has any known problems? Im talking bout the new 2009 version with a new wieght to stabilize it at high speed. Anyone else know about this bike please give feedback too. Latest I checked the price was going for RM30,000 which is not so pricey for a 650cc bike and its competitive to Naza Blade 650 for around the same price.

i think the bike columns u need to refer to other website such as http://malaysianbikers.com.my/forum/ for better feedback..basically the standard price for this bike is RM32,000...i've tested this bike and it's one of the cheapest around for beginner naked bike.but the handling is so so only...i think the max speed you can do is around 180 but it'll shake like hell.....but beware of the second hand value and it may drop drastically...and you may want to upgrade it once you feel more comfortable...sometimes it's worth investing something better

cheers!!

im planning to get a new one. i heard from the bike shop owner that new 2009 model no longer has that shakiness. max speed only 180kmph??? wat i hear was it can go more than 200kmph average. Thatz the reason I wanted to get the bike in the first place. Cheap and fast for long distance. Can go cruise back to Ipoh with avg 200-210 speed. U sure about the top speed?

bro,

Anything above 140 km/h on a bike you have to be in semi crouched position. Above 200 km/h, your chin is literally on the fuel tank. How long can stay like that if travelling more than 200 km/h. And you really need to concentrate and focus on your ride. There's no margin for error at that speed.

The ER6N is superb commuter bike. Light and easy, with good low end torque. But if u still insist on high speed cruising, can opt for the Versys at RM48K.

thanks man. How bout the maintainance for ER6N. You have any idea on that?

bro..i'm not sure if u r experience driver or not...basically, to be cruising around 200+ is kinda dangerous and you need to lean over the tank...maybe ZX6...for any naked bike cruising at the speed is kinda dangerous...and trust me, for a bike capable of running 180, u may ride it comfortably at 150 to 160...

i've got mate riding a 2008 ER6 and maintenance is kinda affortable unless you wana add those accesories....overall, thumbs up for this bike

btw Amirad...even Versys is using the same thing as ER6..i would suggest 40K++, try to get a 2007 Z750...try to source from Mudah.com

cheers!!

anybody else bought this bike ?? any stories to shares ??

go for this bike bro.....

good for beginner n reliable.....

top speed 200++kmh...

dont compare with other bike such as zx6....

ZX6 around how much on market now?? it's nice ninja bike.. especially in Green... cool

I would prefer ER6F ...looks better than ER6N

just my 2 cents

i heard this bike's top speed is around 200-210kph with some minor mods such as changing the sprocket or exhaust. i don't think this bike can cruise at top speed cause the reviews said the bike shakes a little when over 160kph. the bike body looks cool but i don't like the headlight, it's hideous! i'd dump the headlight for some other street fighter headlamp.

2009 model doesnt have that problem. its been fixed.
i prefer z1000 headlight

er6n should can go over 200km/h... im using '97 zx2, 160 - 180km/h is my normal speed when I'm traveling to my hometown at muar from kl, maintain wit that speed all the way from sg besi to tangkak exit....top speed 220km/h, tried it once and it really scary...!! But remember ZX2 is sport and er6n is naked bike, riding position is different...

We cant predict what will happen to this er6n 2nd hand value...as you can see ZZR250 now around 7k, but ZX2r can reach up 15k....

ER6n = more aggressive n muscular look

ER6f = fairing make the bike sporty

ER6N with 650R front fairing convertion would make a good touring bike....

Go for it bro...if not try to find second hand Z750....around 45-47k..

i love this bike and cant wait to get one.
i was seen 'Pak Haji' ride this bike! cool!

I own a ER6 2009 and I would say this bike is very comfy and easy to ride. It is quite powerful for 650cc bike and I have no issues with the bike. Maintenance is around Rm200 for me. But it depends on what you service everytime. It's a naked bike, can't be compared to sports/fairing.

i'm also very interested in this bike but before that i wanted to know the burden for this baby. so to the proud er6n owner, i would like to know how much:-

1. each time a normal service will cost?
2. the rear and front tyre (around)?
3. road tax?
4. insurance?
5. fuel consumption?

thanks
Happy Chinese New Year & Valentine

2 different beast with different purpose & rider...

ER6N/F=Good beginner bike before your riding a much powerful two wheeler.

Good:Easy to handle,not to big or heavy,got lotsa ample steady torque due to the inline 2 engine,good for beginner to learn how to ride a big bike,great daily commuter.

Bad:In malaysia,it was quite...well overprice for sure for such beginner learner bike,brand new price can get you a good condition SRAD750+$$$$ you can had a fuel injected version(more power & light feeling) ,not everyone love the look of it(please bring the CB600 & other 600 muscle bike?I miss the power of XJ600) ,not designed for top speed but cruising & commuting , not all people love inline 2 sound(especially the newcomer that always think Inline 4 sound is the coolest sound ever than triple & thunder twin growl)

But still,you better test it out before you buy it...& for daily commuting I really recommend it alot...

im planning to get this er6n soon.....
what must consider before buy 2nd hand er6n???
actually want to buy new one er6n, but kawa already dont have ready stock,
need to wait 2-3month........
so decide to get 2nd hand and safe a little bit for accessories & maintenance/breakdown purpose....
what the procedure to transfer name from 1st owner to 2nd owner????
thanx in advande.....
