Got it!

After a tension filled two weeks I have finally taken receipt of my ER6F from ADT Kawasaki. Big thanks to the guys there, everything has been great. The only annoying thing is the 4000rpm limit I have on the bike, which gives me a whopping top speed of about 55mph, good for the engine and probably fuel economy, bad for my right hand ;)

Some pictures:


And a little movie of the start up sequence, the noise you hear is apparently the fuel pump priming:

MCN ER-6F Review

MCN have reviewed the ER-6F and seem on the whole to like it (although in the paper they only give it 3 stars despite almost singing its praises?!). Here is the video of the bike 'test'.

How safety films should be made

Over on MCN I spotted a video from Devon County Council for riding safety during winter. Really well done and a good spoof, but contains some useful advice!

ER-6F Movie

Kawasaki have updated their website pages to account for the new 2009 bikes. The ER-6F has had an overhaul on its pages an I found this video to advertise it. Anyone know where this is, I'd love to ride round there!!

There is also a PDF download for a factheet available too.

Motorbike Crash's

Found this and end up watching it with a little bit of morbid fascination. The two that get me are the very last one, I have no idea what that person was trying to prove! Also the one where the second bike tries to overtake the other one turning left.

Thought I would share!
