    Kawasaki er-6n racebike?

    Does anybody know anyone that has raced one of these bikes?
    I am pretty sure there was one at Paeroa but I can't remember the racers name. I'm just a little er curious.

    which is the n? faired or naked?

    Wiggles (Mark) from Mt Eden M/C races the faired version... he doesn't do too bad, but still gets his ass handed to him by a girl

    Wiggles races the N version - naked - he has put the race fairings on as after market. Mark will be able to answer your questions Steve. Give him a call at Mt Eden.

    Hey Steve,

    There is a guy in the south island whom is planning to switch from F2 600 racing this season and build up two Er6's for F3 next year. We will see how he goes, But between him and the Mt Eden M/c bloke they may get enough tuning knowledge together to make the kwaka a fair race package. For the moment tho i would still go for an Sv, easy and most things have been figured out, see Shaun, he will build you one...

    Dude, how's your finger? See Bayliss had his finger trapped under his bike too the weekend... You're in the company of champions, lol...

    Sorry to thread-jack...

    As for ER6's, the Riderforum site has a few guys with them and some even race them, so it may be worth a browse...

    The call them Ninja 650's

    Also Jarelj races one from what I remember...

    hmmmm see they also have a forum specifically for people who race SV's.

    See those twins are 75hp max and 163kg's min weight, dry... Given those figures, an ER should be able to be competitive against a SV..

    Here's another link to the ER650 forum...

    Haha, yeah, it is coming along fine, surgeon dude was pleased with how the meat was building back onto the bone. Bayliss lost his, tho. ground it down to kunckle one. Tough. I read in the paper he was keen to take it off and do the second race of the round. wick. thats tough.

    i am looking forward to getting back onto my road bike again soon.

    See ya at the track next season
