Passed my bike test yesterday, and have been out looking all day. Cant decide between these 3 bikes.
Theres the Kawasaki ER-6N in candy lime green
Yamaha fazer 600 (undecided on colour)
Or the Honda Hornet 600 in white
Cannot decide on the 3 of them, Just wanting peoples opinions on them

Are you using it to commute or just for fun?

As above, I'm not a bike enthusiast but I quite like the look of the Bandit's

Don't know if this is a stupid thing to say, so don't go off on one! Not fancy something like this
I think that this style of bike looks better

Had a look at them, and decided to go for something different. I prefer the un-faired ones than the faired bikes

Same, although I'd much sooner have a 600ss over any of those

Same Bram ( and I do ) but I guess it wouldn't be great for work.

Can't stand naked bikes personally. Ordered my new ZX6r today. Gonna wait till March so i get an 09 plate on it! Have you seen the ER6 in person? Looks a nice bike but that colour is awful!

Honda, i know there have been people moaning about the build quality of the new blade, but the hornet is an older design, and will be better built

Was going to, But after looking around the newer bikes are around the same price as a decent second hand bike, if not cheaper, Plus there are better deals on the new bikes, Like 0% finance on the kawasaki

What bikes are you looking at that are similar prices 2nd hand and new?
My 636 was 3k and a new one is 6k or so!

Its like the bandit I looked at was £3900, on a 07 plate, But the ER-6N is around the same price. Just seems you can get a newer bike for the same price as a second hand one.

Fazer out of those 3 personally, looked at one of those when I first passed, but went the SS route instead.
But only unfaired bike i would want is the KTM SuperDuke
