can u cruise in traffic jam?

apart from the naza blade 650,

the er6n was the first? affordable CKD middle weight bike in msia...

ymh bolt has the classic look,

honda rebel the "hump" is too high

people used to praise the ER6N for being very "torquey"

and now they call the mt07 master of torque,

MT07 torque starts to exceed 40lbft @ ~ 3k rpm.

better than nothing...

short distance to test the ABS.....




Attached thumbnail(s)

just my opinion about the seat of mt07 vs z650,

for rider with short leg, i feel that the stock seat of mt07

will push you forward and make your crotch press against the curved-up

front section of the seat. especially when both your feet are down.

When both legs are down, the flare out seat of mt07 will kinda block

your thighs from moving backwards.





Z650

cycle world comparison

http://www.cycleworld.com/kawasaki-z650-vs...comparison-test



quote from the article...

" Fit and finish is admirable, though the Z650’s look never really caught the eye of our testers, who were drawn to the less-aggressive lines of the SV650 or more modern-looking FZ-07. Personal opinion, yes, but as a whole, that kind of sums up the Z650. It attempts to strike a middle ground between the straightforward and classic SV650 and sportier FZ-07. Only, in doing so, it fails to be better than either bike. The engine has more midrange grunt than Kawasaki twins of yesteryear thanks to the new throttle bodies, but past 4,500 rpm, it also generates enough vibration in the seat, handlebar, and footpegs that any amount of commuting seems laborious. Overall gearing feels short, and the bike produces the least power of the trio (59.9 hp at 7,960 rpm).

Our test riders covered the height gamut, but none could come to grips with the Z’s ergonomics. This is spoiled by a seat that feels even lower than it is (seat height is an admirable 30.6 inches), an overly narrow handlebar that feels high by comparison, and a tank that widens where your knees rest. A 41mm KYB fork and preload-adjustable shock have a smoother action than the suspension on the SV650 or FZ-07, though overall handling is heavier than the FZ and front-end feel is limited at corner entry. At 414 pounds (wet, with ABS), Kawasaki has done a good job of keeping the bike light, but it’s still no less than 10 pounds more than an FZ-07.
In a category where bikes are so closely matched, you can’t afford to give anything up. With its awkward ergos and extra vibration, the Z650 quickly fell behind the SV650 and FZ-07 and by midday was the bike we were least excited to climb back on. "
