Yup, same here. The overall deal I'm being offered is pretty good. I just need to figure out insurance since my current insurer thinks that the ER is a sportbike, so they won't insure it. They have no problem with my VFR though

Ya. Allstate has my vfr as a sport bike. Get that bike and keep the vfr so we can be viffer6n'ers brothers.

Looks good. Looks like a cross between a 650 *and a 1125 buell.

I got the chance to look at the ER-6N and Ninja 650 side-by-side, at a bike show a couple of months ago. They're identical, save for the bodywork.

Going to have to give up the VFR, I'm afraid. OK, not "have to", but it would make life easier. Insurance for a year is just over $1K and I already have a track bike that barely sees me, as it is.

I'm looking at about $800.00 for the Givi bags and mounting hardware. I think that the biggest change for me, between the VFR and the ER-6N, will be the suspension. The VFR has been fitted with Gold Valves and a Penske racing shock. I'll take a well suspended bike over horsepower, any day of the week.

Y'all had to wait just like I did. The 6n is more upright than I thiuht it would be. He only complaint I have is the seat wants to till pelvic region forward. Kinda hard to explain.


Its raining so not much fun goin on rght now.
