A friend has an ER5. It seems to do the commuting job excellently. I've seen a tonne out of it so not exactly slow.  But, the 900 puts out almost double the BHP. Haven't owned one though so can't say anything.

I came off a Hornet onto a ER-5 as it is cheaper to run and the consumables are cheaper, the step-down isn't THAT bad, you have 40bhp+ less but I still find it has plenty of power. It has a Remus exhaust on too so sounds better than it is

I'd not thought of it that way, but you have comfirmed what I had been thinking. Having just sold the GSXR, I think the ER would be a step too far in the wrong direction...
