I love the power delivery and sound of my SV.....

It's smoother with less "rattle." That was one of the things that turned me off the SV and air cooled Buells. Stock suspension is better than the SV too :nee

Just wait if you don't want to paint it. Kawi likes to cover all the color bases in about a three year rotation. Or you could try to trade plastics/ tank over a bike-specific forum.. Plenty of kids with the '06 two-tone 650R swapped lowers to match.

Most of the aftermarket exhausts look and sound like shit. They just make it louder and lose the thump- and then it really sounds like a lawnmower. JMNSHO of course. The only one I care for is the Laser Extreme, but dropping $600 on an exhaust sucks. I'll just be greedy with the sound of mine and not draw cops.

You sat on my 650R Rogue- that's with aftermarket lower bars. They really changed the riding position for the better for me. No more elbows at the ears. The stockers made the riding position cramped for me, but it's really upright and an easy reach for shorter riders. The ER6N sits the same as the stock 650R. For a while they had photos of a girl on the Ninja on Kawi's site.

This is the first Kawi I've taken an interest in. I'm off work Monday so I'm going to go by the local dealership and see if they have one I can check out. If it were a v-twin, it would be perfect.

As far as Ducs, they're a little too rich for my blood. Plus I haven't found one I really like.

I'm looking to get a new bike next year. I'd like to get a leftover '09 if there's one available, but it's no big deal if it isn't.

you would think they would like the thump of the Vtwin.

the thing I don't care for is the dry clutch on the Ducati's.

I told Tina that I didn't want her to get the Triumph. they never really had a good dependability reputation and I'm sue getting parts for them isn't going to be easy either.

their build quality has improved drastically over the past couple years and considering that they have widespread standalone dealers i sincerely doubt parts will be any harder to come by than anyone elses.
