Unexpected, but went with the Benelli 249s for only Rm5.5k!
Looks sweet and rides well. Has a Box, modified exhaust and side mirrors. Just a bit heavy.
Can't wait to ride it. biggrin.gif

Yo do tell how the ER6 is like to ride in traffic. I'm around 162-163cm, looking to an ER6N, but doubtful if I should just opt for a Vulcan instead.

I live in Cyberjaya, so 95% of my commute route is highway estate

Highway wise, should be able to filter through. I use it during rush hour damansara/PJ/nkve/school area no issue. Just watchout for moped, as i only filter at 60kmh max if traffic standstill.

For me its easy to handle since seat height is quite low even though its heavy. If you are looking at er6n 2012 onwards, make sure the bike has been valve recall.

Thats awesome to hear and very relevant to me.

I'm planning to get the V2, since it's much never and only at 7.5k.
Less issues I hope.

Gonna test both the 249s & Dom UG tomorrow.

Congrats on 249s. suprisingly it come with twin front brake. Happy learning. Dont forget to learn to ride in raining/heavy rain condition.

Specifically want a reliable long distance touring bike that can also handle traffic.

Versys is way too tall to be able to handle comfortably
ER6N is very nice to ride, but I haven't had the chance to test it out in traffic which is why I'm debating whether I should topup 5-7k extra for a Vulcan which has lower height, a bit doubtful about riding a Vulcan as well because of road conditions and the lack of standardization of certain speedbumps

I have a Vulcan and will duck walk or so very slowly over the speed bumps as it has high tendency to hit the skid plate. The Vulcan has ample power to overtake, enjoy and sometimes be a hooligan on highway.

Speaking of valve recall

Was the Vulcan affected by this issue?
