I like the smooth fairing. And are you kidding? I'm bigger than the entire bike LOL Want a big fairing? Get a ZX14 or busa or fat ST bike... or an HD... blech

I didn't care for the gladius I rode. Steering is sketchy and the seat has some horrible ridges. The ER-6n is a better choice.

I have an ER-6n, naked ninja 650r, and its a great bike to me. Like the SV, but not in production anymore. The Kawi, basically great power curve, controllable, fun. Quick enough through the legal to about 80 range, top end is about 130...

Pics or it didn't happen!

When do the mods begin? I looked at one at Oneida Suzuki when I picked up my new battery the other day and contemplated bring it home as something to screw around with...
