They have actually changed the ER6 to a Z650 now in line with the new Z range.

After having my MT07 stolen, I've decided to upgrade to a Kawasaki Z900. It has a slipper clutch. It's so much easier to use than the MT07 clutch. Maybe that would work for you?

Can I post my registration on this forum in case someone spots my bike?

I live in NW London and I had an Oxford Boss disc lock on. I've just finished building work in the front of my house so hadn't got round to putting in a ground anchor yet. I know that was a bit stupid, but I also had a cover on. Really gutted. I bought it new and put a bit of money in it for...

So I came out my house on Sunday morning to find that my bike had been nicked during the night from my driveway! I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised living in London... So the question is, what do I buy now?

Some of us ride all though the winter. Although my fingers are suffering!

I think that's the common problem. Looks vs practicality...

I have also been thinking what i would upgrade to if and when the time comes. 99% of my riding is central London commuting. So far my option are MT09, Kawasaki Z800 or Triumph Triple. But for the moment the MT07 is doing it's job. It's brilliant at filtering.

How about the XSR900..?

That looks really interesting! I take pillion passengers quite often and they always complain that they slide forward whenever i brake. Are they positioned in a way that it's easy to hold on to? I think I'll be buying them!

You might want to think about getting a screen then. Above 70mph, it starts to feel uncomfortable and above 80 you really have to hold on tight!

I don't agree, I think the MT09 Tracer looks a lot better than the NC750. It has more character and is not so bland.

I have never managed more than 130/135 miles with in town riding.

Does the Akra still have the baffle in?
