the er6 is a nice bike suitable for most people i got 1500km on it now the brakes did not perform in the beginnig.the reason was wax on the discs,otherwise it is more than fast enough for the roads here and another good thing is that if you want a versys it can be modified in a couple of hours new swingarm and a new fork,i did not get a price on the parts but will check in bangkok i guess about 50000 bth but that is just a wild guess.i know for sure that all the plastic parts on the bike is dirt cheap.
i like the bike a lot,when driving alone it is very fun with passenger not so fun but enough power,it is not like the bmw k1200r i got back home but that bike has 167 hp and the kawa got 72 so it is not comparable and the bm is 4 times the price,i would NEWER buy a bmw of any kind here just to expencive to run and it can not be used on the highways here in the full extence.
