6 months on
Posted: Sat Apr 19, 2008 1:51 pmWell 6 months on with the er6 and i have spent loads hehe.
Bike 3600ks on it $6 grand - Bargain of the century
Braided lines $200
Better pads - $35
Arrow exhaust $400
PC III - $280
Michelin Pilot Sports - $420
New bars - $75
Penske shock $ 600
Re Spring and valve of the front forks $ 150
Rear hugger $ 100
So for for less than 9 grand i have a bike that has wopped a HUUUUUUGE smile on me dial.
Funniest moment - making some girl in a car jump with fright & drop her toast out the window on the morning commute when i gave it some revs behind her in annoyance at her blocking the interchange
The Arrow without the db killer in is LOUD heh
Best feeling so far - getting my knee down - woot!
The question now is do i change it or not. To answer this i have turned into a test riding maniac over the last few weeks and the one thing i have noticed is that for all the great bikes out there, the torque on the er6 makes it loads of fun to ride especially in city traffic.
On twisties the suspension, brakes & tyre change have transformed the bike. Its no sports bike but its a hell of alot quicker and more sure footed that it was
So dunno what to do now.
Voice in my head keeps saying
