Ah, John, you've finally seen the light!!! If you can't find a suitable Suzuki, then a similar Kawasaki will do the trick.

Now don't be wasting your money on any more brand y nails.....

I won't be buying any more bikes in the future I don't think.
when the times comes for a replacement it'll more than likely be a maxi scooter..
I took the Kawasaki 6 out for a test ride on Saturday.
to see if it'll pull me and my good lady quickly,and just me only.
yep she quick enough for.(

she not run in)so the engine felt really tight.I did know that I was the 1st to ride it out of the show room.
lighter and more comfortable ,the h/bars comes to me rather than me to it.the only thing that put a blot on it is the digi speedo etc,I'm old fashion I prefer the old clocks. so I'll have to get used to it as all new bikes have them now.and it sound totally different to my yam being its a twin but that not a problem.getting some add on before I bring her him namely, alpha dot security markers,automatic chain oil-er,and a built in immobiliser.
yes and I will make a little backrest/rack..painted in black.
the back rest make my wife feel more secure, I did consider a small top box but I've seen pictures of these bikes with one on and and to me it didn't look right.
quite ofter we go for a ride out not particularly going any where. just jump on and aim east,west etc.
we come across villages,places that are really nice and beautifull oh and we take some food and drink. no rush going any where or back.
yesterday we did a 80 mile round trip ,went out at 11.15 am came back at 3.30. we enjoyed the trip.this is what we like to do so the kawasaki do the trick

I guess for the price of a liter of fuel there it gets good gas mileage ?

Thanks for the ride report Johnny, I like reading your write-ups with the different language you use and working on the english, not making fun of ya but I like the little bit of color it adds. The simple things in life you see brings much joy to yourself.

I stay in awe with us being all over the world talking to each other and getting to know people you can call friends w/o meeting.

I am not familiar with that bike Johnny, it is a UK only model, like a 650cc?

its known as Ninja in the state which I rather like better than ER6F.

John with a name like ER6F that sounds like something the Foden brothers would have used on one of their trucks.
