ER6 or Z750, which should I choose?

[Lainie]

I like the ER-6f only cause I have one but they are an awesome bike I have no problems keeping up with the boys on there toys when the need be ( i am sure they r only being nice at times too and it is a very forgiving bike I cannot comment on the other as I have not even sat on one sorry

I went to the local Kwaka dealer this afternoon and I think he has convinced me to look at the Z750, heck he almost convinced me to trade in the ZX6R for the Z.

He reckon the Z750 was better more fun bike than the Z1000, and even though he spoke highly of the ER6 he said that if I was coming off the ZX6R onto the ER6 I wouldnt like it.

Hey Lainie, have you seen the post of the 09 ER6F, mighty fine I must say

Be carefull, people that work in bike shops generally know fuck all about anything, especially bikes

I know it sounds wierd, but it's true

Nope cant say I have I really dont know how they can inprove on perfection If yuo didnt live so far I would give ya my bike for a day and see how you liked it but I struggle getting out of the garage these days just not enough time. Are you going to PI next weekend?

my 2c...

Rode a er6 for 3 days, hated it, it felt cheap and nasty, vibrated and rattled

I rode an 07 z1000, and it was so much better than my bike, and they say that the 08 750 is equivalent to my 06 z1000..

So bang for your buck, Z750 all the way

(I'd actually recommend the 750 as well over the 1000 - the 1000 can be twitchy with that much torque)

But I used to work in a bike shop, what would I know

kawa twins sound different to inline 4s. they're a lot smoother once you get the revs up.

Thank you for that very kind offer Lainie, but I couldnt take you pride and joy away from you for a day
I wont be going to PI this year, another guy I work with has taken time off to go down, so next year it will be my turn to have time off, I like to take the friday and Monday when I go as it allows me to relax and enjoy the whole weekend more, just have to watch on telly this year

Here is a couple of pics of the new ER6F from the US, and after talking to the Local Kwaka dealer it looks like we will be getting these here.

I love the green I couldnt ride red , hey if I am game enough to let Froggy have the bike for 5 days anyone else would seem refreshing

[dilligaf]

might be almost enough of us on er6's in vic to have an er6 ride later in the year?

[Lainie]

Count me in as long as it's not the weekend of the 28th Nov Froggy will have my bike then

Having ER-6F and riding on my friends Z750 I'd say go for Z They are both very comfy tho..
I think Z750 will be my next bike

[ttc]

I saw the 09's yesterday.. the black/green is absolutely awesome.. but only in the 750..

[z900/zx9]

I havent riden a z750 but spent a day on a er6,did the whole spurs thing on it as well as out broadford way.I did 400 ks on it and intially it was interesting i was bored with it after the first 150 ks and proceeded to ring its neck for the other 250 ks and yep you guessed it it didnt get any better even when it was rarely out of the redline

[67-FKD]

Antoher vote for the 750

It is my first bike and i love it, its nto scary at all, and its sooo easy to use, though i cannot compare it to the ER6.
