Woah that looks shit hot
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
Double shot!!
It does look nice. Why do they go with the parallel twin though? They sound frumpy compared to a vee-twin.. That would be my only real grump.

Hardcore Biker
Maybe I'm missing something here - Isn't just an even softer version of this years bike? A couple of rubber mounts and Euro III compliance - what it needed was proper suspension and brakes, another 100cc & 15hp! (same as the sv).

Looks much nicer thats for sure

Been looking for a replacement for my Hyo250 and was looking at either the SV or ER650f. This 2009 has sold me on the Ninja, short of a test ride changing my mind anyways!
On a side note anyone know why Canada get a full fairing SV and no one else seems to? I personally think it looks a million times better with full fairings.

The Suzuki GSX650F is well worth a look. Slightly pricier is the Triumph Street Triple.Originally Posted by Jekkyl
There is a delicious choice of highly competent mid-range bikes around at the moment, to a point where they are "ends in themselves" rather than "stepping stones"...

You said it for me DB..........
Fashionably late.
Guess I'm the minority then, I liked the current ER6F's, I was bitterly dissapointed to see it look like just another generic sports bike as I was hoping to trade in for the '09 model.
If you ask me the looks veer a lot to the SV650s style now, or closer to Kawasaki's 'supersport' range, which it most definitely is not. It's a real world bike that is very, very competent in many aspects, not just sports .. kinda irks me that this is the direction they are going with it :/
The ER6N, however, looks sextastic.. but the Versys is looking more and more tempting for me now!
PS. I like ptwins :P litre bike vtwins are nice but I didn't get any feel for the SV650 twin power :P (don't hate me)

Not really into naked's and I really was hoping to find a fully faired V-twin(haven't ridden a parallel) but all I can find is the GT650 Hyo. SV650S with lower fairings(Canada model) looks great but not available here and haven't looked into how easy/much to do the lower fairings. Unsure of what other options are out there!
You're nuthin
675 Daytona if you don't wanna see all her bits.
Forum whore
So they've dropped the ER6f model name completely.

Was it only ever a New Zealand market thing?
