Suzuki/Kawasaki 2007....500/600

[LilSel]

I been checking out 500/600's for when time comes for me to upgrade...

What I have established so far is that Suzuki gsxr600 = too tall for me...
Kawasaki 636/6R= same problem...

I havent had a chance to pop myself on either of these two (GS500, ER600), however have been told the ride height would be more suitable...

Does anyone have any input on these two bikes??

Attached Pics/Specs... Suggestions etc welcomed...

I am thinking it is going to be somewhat of a task to find 'the bike' that fits... my legs sure ain't gonna grow any longer lol... I dont want anything bigger than a 600... however for some reason.. gsxr1000 seemed to feel more comfortable (smaller) than being on hyosung 250!!!....

I want to get out this weekend to get on both the Suzi 500F & Kwaka ER6F to see how they 'fit' ... dont wanna naked bike either... (fussy yeah yeah!!)...

have found that I keep going to change up... & im already in top gear... has me out trying bikes for size... *cant wait for more*...

ER6N was fantastic, but when i rode the ER6F i felt disappointed for some unknown reason.
If you were going to go faired for the look - the suzi is just plain sexy, like a mini GSXR

The ER6N... I like the 'diff' look... but the front...

I'd go for the kwaka, if only for the motor..
The one in the Suzuki is ancient and damn gutless from what a customer told me. He tried the GS500 before buying a Versys (which has the same motor as the ER6) and didn't like it one bit. Go test ride one though, you may like it, it's hard to say.

I'm leaning strongly towards an ER6N when I get my full (and finish uni and have some dosh)

I see you originally looked at gsxr600. Have you considered a sv650s?

Probably slightly more sports oriented than the er6 or gs500.

[Cajun]

there is the suzuki gsr600

check out www.suzuki.co.nz for more info

there is the suzuki gsr600

pretty similar in terms of height/weight to the 500.

I dont really like the style of the sv... it is an option tho... depends on how it 'feels'... when in at colemans the other day... I had a good look... it didnt scream out to me 'take me home'... the gsxr did... but as soon as I got on it... it was pretty obvious the 07 no go for me

I know you fit me well babe... but riding you isnt going to help get me to work on time in the mornings... quite the opposite really
