Ok so Theory is passed and now going to get on with Mod 1 & 2, I've been looking at different bikes and trying to way up the pro's and cons...

I like 3 different bike,

Fazer 600

Sv 650

Er6f

I will need the bike for a 16 mile round trip to work and the odd ride outs at weekends.


I want to know what the pro's and cons are for the following bikes..ie things to be aware of, not looking for opinions on the looks as its just for me to get used to bigger bikes on...

Thanks in advance....

Budget is around £1500 (so er6f might be a bit out of my reach)

To be honest though, it depends how much you want to spend
Fuck all- SV

Bit more- Fazer


Moar again - ER6F

So someone who DOESNT own a cruiser is the faggot? Confused Laughing

I'd say the SV was the cheapest. The fazer the fastest, and the ER6 the best all rounder.
So if you can afford it get the ER6, ride it for a bit and decide what you think it's lacking in, then make sure your next bike has more of it.

Just for clarification, as you seem to be slightly confused:


Stop:

Verb:
(of an event, action, or process) Come to an end; cease.
Noun:
A cessation of movement or operation.



Start:

Verb:
Come into being; begin or be reckoned from a particular point in time or space.
Noun:
The point in time or space at which something has its origin; the beginning of something.

I have a FZS600 (02 fox eye model) as my all rounder (touring, two up, winter etc). It's comfy, good MPG, cheap to buy and insure. I would recommend them Thumbs Up
