I'm more likely to the full fairing
But mostly with the same engine and performance as i know
As i mention, I do care about performance and durability, looks is second consideration

u got ur B full already?

if not go get B full first, find a school that have er6n and u will know how easy it is to handle a 650 bike

no nid to get 250 300 390, waste time n money only... biggrin.gif

i've been checking out mid weight bikes available locally ,

the MT-07 might not be TS's cuppa tea due to the looks, but this bike is selling like hot cakes world wide, known as FZ-07 in the US, launched last year, tons of youtube vids and reviews, accessories are increasing.

Why it is a fav cos it is fun to ride, with lots of low end torque, only 179kg wet.
More low end torque than kawa vulcan s and new versys 650, these 2 kawa are specially tuned to increase low end torque but still can't beat mt-07.

Great as a daily town riding, light for beginners. That's what owners say.

The CKD version is like RM1k? more than ER6N.

Sound is addictive too, if you like V-twin sound, (mt-07 is parallel twin)

here's a review comparing mt07 - cbr650r - er6f

http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/reviews/...mparo-road-test


now fully faired xj6f after gst is ~2k cheaper than b4 gst... biggrin.gif

good as it sounds the inline4 but the low rev torque tarak cukup .... biggrin.gif need to rev high high = makan petrol...

review said xj6 gear not long enough, compare to mt-07
