The banana seat just isn't working with the rest of the lines on the bike, IMO.

Nah, the headlight is kinda fucked up on that ER-6N...

If only it had the headlight from the Z1000.... then we'd talk!

It's trying to look like the 10R- which everyone hates. And the dash looks like something out of an 80's clunker station wagon.

Hell- the Buellidiots put down everything that doesn't have a bucket or rocks harley engine, so why can't I spread the P-twin love?

Gotta admit the new 65o P-twin is a much better mill than the old 250 or 500. Pair O Nines racing does alright against the SVs in the endurance racing series...

Anyone who doesn't ride a 650R is an idiot. Funny.

I agree.


The tail on the 650r is hideous.

I like it for a budget bike...But I hate it cause its a budget bike.

Really it doesn't look that bad, the footpegs are crazy, the tail is a necessary evil if you have a 2 up plan. Parallel Twin is friendly enough. If they had given it the better suspension from the Kawasaki Versys they would have me happy!
