Evening ladies and gents
I passed my mod 2 on friday and have been shortlisting bikes for my budget for the last few weeks and i've settled on either a CBF600 or an ER6F.
I've found an ER6F fairly local to me on the old fleebay and just wanted to check with BCFers if they had anything on this bike theyd recommend looking at? Any advice they can give when looking at a new, used bike?
It's an 06 with 25k on the clock, pretty standard bar sports bars and a tinted shield.
I've read some good reviews on them regarding starter bikes and was looking hopeful at getting this one if its the right one.
Any suggestions welcome! ____________________ Newbie to Motorcycling. All advise taken gratefully! |

If you're intending to ride into London on it, be aware that the ULEZ mugging will soon apply to bikes made before July 2007. Technically a 2006 ER6 is already Euro3 compliant, but you'd have to argue the toss with TfL.
It's a real consideration around That London and will reduce the value. And it's an 11 year old budget bike, so I'd be pinching every penny on it. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Any chance of a link to the advert? I'm having trouble finding it. Nobody's going to gazump you (leave it, Paddy) but we might be able to spot anything hooky about the bike. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

If you're not regularly riding your bike on the limiter and scraping the pegs then you've not outgrown it.
Ninja 250: you're meant to use the limiter as a ghetto quick shifter, right?
Enfield: sometimes bounce the valves and have scraped the pegs.
Nazi Tractor: I will very occasionally hit the limiter during an overtake in a straight line.
I'd be fine with an ER6, I'd run out of road or bottle more often than it would run out of revs. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
