The thing is, even if you already have all the documents ready, our JPJ and Custom here dont really like seeing Malaysian riding Singapore or Thailand registered bike.

Thats the facht.

First timer? Dont touch the 600 or liter bike yet, get yourself 150cc 2 stroke first.

Dont commit suicide.

Well, here is the problem :

You are comparing the modest, everyday usage ER6N against all those track focused sportsbike TS shown.

While the ER6N have two cylinder 650cc, if you pit it against a four cylinder R6 ("only" 600cc) guess who will win?

Kawasaki trying to market the ER6n as the bike for beginners, did you ever see them market their ZX6RR as bike for beginners? No?

150kph? Even the cheap 2stroker ZX150 can reach 150kph with beginners rider easily bro.

In the end, it depends why you want the bike? Everyday "uncle" ride or "proper" sportsbike riding?

agree with eyra to a certain extend... er6n is indeed a good commuter bike .. i own 1 myself.. the only reason why many ppl wont push er6n to the max speed of around 220km/h is becoz of lackin windshield.. wind running against you will put a termendous pressure on ur nect.. coz afterall er6n is being categorised under "naked" category. a decent givi, puig or ermax windshield will solve the hiccup.

but in terms of track performance with condition given same riding skill... er6n will pawned higher cc bike due to its torque mapping... er6n require less gear changing time as compare to bigger cc... but if straight road all the way.. definitely bigger cc will win...

i would like to see zx150 hit 150kph constantly for more than 1 hour... rclxub.gif riding above 200kph with one slight mistake could probably book you one way ticket to paradise.

riding a bike its not about speed... its about passion & safety.. not to forget reliability and cost of maintenance

get a bike that suits or meet your requirement.
