ER6-F alternative

[mfcristi]

Cheers guys, its my first post here.
Im looking to buy my first motorcycle and so far I would like an ER6-F .

But i also want to see if is there any motorcycle similar to it .
By similar i mean sport-tourer bike with less than 90hp .

I was looking at GSX600F but its kinda heavy (245kg wet)
for mostly city riding unlike er6-f ( 200 kg wet ).

Is there any other models that could fit ? sport, less than 90hp and under 215-220 kg ?

Alternative to ER6-F (found until now):
GSX600F (+45kg and +11hp)



Thanks,

Your better off explaining which license you have.

To a lot of us an er6 is a hateful thing full of pain and regret but depending on what license you have it may be the best available.

Ducati950? A bit over on BHP.

There are lots of bikes that fit those criteria.

For the classically-styled side of things, you have the Triumph Street Twin and new Moto Guzzi V7 (also up to 10 years old includes older V7 and V9). Enfield 650 interceptor. Also worth mentioning the Enfield 500, but that's a very different kind of experience (slower, more likely to break down, but more "authentic").

Ducati nakeds - the newer scramber range, and the monster range which reaches back about 25 years.

Thinking about it, this is one segment where the non-Japanese factories have been doing particularly well over the last decade or so, and the Japanese offerings have been a bit disappointing.

SRX660 if you're prepared to have something older and wait for one to come up for sale.

What about a CBR600 F4i? Should be a few around, well within budget, and only slightly above what you want for power. Is the 90HP a hard limit?

The new Yamaha R7 seems to fit the bill.

CBF500 or CBF600 is perfect for that. Even the NC750

How do you get an a licence without never riding a bike before? You must have ridden one of a reasonable power just to pass your test.

Also. They only go as fast as you twist the grip. You can get in just as much trouble on a 90 bhp bike as you can on one with twice the power.

How about an interceptor 650? Might get a used one in budget?

Versys are meant to be better riding than ER6s because they’ve got better suspension so might be worth a look? Or V Strom

I’d be looking at a VStrom or Versys 650.
You can pick them up quite cheap and they go forever

Secondhand BMW F800ST probably fits your cost, power and sport-tourer requirements..

I test rode one after owning an ER6f.. it was fine, but I chose a Triumph Sprint ST1050 which was better still (but significantly over your power budget).

VTR1000 tends to run out of petrol before it's going fast enough to crash.
