but don't fall into the same trap like many newbies i've seen

ER6 is a TWIN cylinder engine, and doesn't sound like the "normal" superbike you always hear

those are FOUR cylinder engine, producing a higher pitch engine noise, which is synonim to big bike

the twin cylinder engine noise is akin to a sewing machine

be warned, and don't be dissapointed.

i saw 2 guys in my hometown who ditched their versys 650 and er6-n for Z750 and Z1000 respectively after barely a few weeks as they did not expect the engine noise to be so so like tat one
as for me, i'm happy with whatever sound the er6-n produces. at high speed, u only hear the wind noise.

the bike might be able to go that fast

but when u reach 160, 180 - you will feel like being thrown out the bike, as the wind resistance is very violent on a naked bike

even at 140 ur shoulders are strained as you try to hold the bike
