I been using my bike for 4 and a half years so far so good for me.

Er6f maintenance fee is not far compare with 250r that why is time for to upgrade .

For beginner in super bike 250r is the best way to start first, if u got budget just go Er6 sweat.gif

Both are the same the different are only the fuel system.

Those part I mention is tear and wear part usually will replace.

Make sure if you purchase the ER6, it has gone through Kawasaki Health Check (Valve). Many members screwed up their engine before even the Kawasaki Health Check because of the low quality valve used in ER6 model.

I have been ridding the ER6 for few months before changing to Z800.

Actually it depends, if your going to get the bike for long term then go for Z800. But if you want something small and want to upgrade in 1-2 years time then get the ER6 first.

The power deliver in ER6 is more than enough actually but if you prefer a 4 inline sound plus rough look of the bike, go for Z800. flex.gif

Just went in for service. Changed my oil to IPONE Fully Synthetic (3 + 1/2 bottle), K&N Oil Filter & K&N Air Filter. The engine was way smoother and better.  rclxms.gif

Good luck in getting your bike  thumbup.gif

Thanks a lot on ur advice I was curious about the health check. So on Z800 valve are better quality right? If I not wrong it got 16 valve 4valve per piston sweat.gif

Dose z800 need to do the health check as well? By the way do u know the cost of the health check on ER6?

Ya I'm thinking for a long term usages coz this is the last time I got my permission to upgrade that's why I been headache rclxub.gif

ER short for easy rider so if you like speed and play red RPM with nice sound just go for z8. if you use more to work with cheap maintanance and sometime bring your wife/gf to convoi better take er6, kesian dia sakit bontot nanti naik z8, it's just my exp with my wife.

Thanks for the advice but lucky my wife didnt want to convoi even i untill now didnt joined a convoi event. sweat.gif

Plus my 250R already put in Seat Cowl hehe laugh.gif
