    Has anyone got any reviews or opinions on the Kawa er6-n/f bikes? They seem to be fairly cheap, meaning theyre pants?

    Any particular bikes that look nice, go well and are reliable?

    been told that kawa zx7 bikes are well built, not too sure on looks so far.
    Ok may sound boring but if you like the Thundercat why not same again - you'll have a good supply of spare parts.

    Be careful with ER6 n/f's as the early ones had an issue with and exhaust bracket corroding and failing.

    I think Wolverine had this issue with his eventually... so maybe send him a PM for more details if you're considering an Er6 n/f.

    I have to agree... You'll find a nice one for two grand as well.

    As regards the 'Cat, the only issue I ever had with mine was cam chain tensioners. It was the same on both the 600 Fazer's I had too. :-?
