) its such a great bike for me, feels really comfortable and was able to jump on and go straight away without the feel of , crap its a big bike i need to relearn. which is how i felt about the GSR? when i test rode it. i wanted something that was uprite position and not too heavy, and looked cool, and its quite narrrow so good for someone my size........

Congrates on the new ride... yes you will need to so called relearn some ofthe skills but the basics are the same. Learn the quarks and the way the bike handles...

hope you enjoy it... have fun...

I went into Bay Motorcycles on Friday morning and was talking to them about that bike. I commented it was a particularly nice looking machine in that resplendent blue and he told me it had been sold to a lady from Auckland way.

wonder who that might have been then?

Ok fair enough, I admit..
SH 22 down to Nagarawahia at this time of the year is not for the faint hearted and you handled it very well with your own discipline and pace. Nice to see and the Ginny has obviously taught you well. The ER6 seems to be very well suited to those that that come in, err umm a smaller package. It isn't tall and for a 650 its quite svelte, a good looker with a sensible riding position. It has all the hallmarks of a good all-round fun road bike. The Kawasaki equivalent to the SV650 or the 650 Bandit I guess.
