Congratulations! And now please say after me: "All the gear, all the time!"
Oh don't worry! I will never go ride without my gear.
And thank you!
It's a Kawasaki ER-6n from 2015. I'm quite enjoying it so far, for as long as the good weather lasts.
Good choice, I've had a 2014 ER6f for about 6 years now and apart from the fit and finish being a bit crap it's been a fab bike ... lots more fun than the faster bikes I had before and if you have good form it can go well on the track too (the frame geometry really responds to rider weight movement). Also the ER6n was used by one of the former European Moto Gymkhana champions, too :-)
Protip: if there's no record of the forks being rebuilt it's a worthwhile thing to have done on any bike that's over 10 years old!
Good brake pads, braided lines, and aftermarket handlebars all made noticeable improvements for me, too.
Great bike congrats!
If I recall correctly that’s one of the few brands you can easily find neutral on.
Some smart clutch design with recessed indents.
Thank you!
I don't really know about other bikes as I learnt to ride on a Kawa Z650 and neutral was pretty easy there as well.
But yeah, it's pretty easy to get into neutral.
Jesus that's quite a first motorcycle. In the UK you have to ride a 125 until you pass an extra test. Although I suppose there are certain "intensive training programmes" where you can ride the school's bike until you get your A-license and then buy your own afterwards.
Ah, I see. I did take classes though. Those are mandatory in Belgium.
We're only limited by your age. I'm 35, so I was allowed to go for my full A licence from the get-go.
I learnt to ride on the school's Z650.Haha I always love Europeans take on Americans first motorcycle!
I know people tend to say "that wouldn't work in America" for things but I genuinely think that wouldn't work out in America with our speed limits and distances outside of cities. My brother and I took a course together where we learned on a 125 bike, he bought a 250, and I bought a 750 (a cruiser though, not a sport bike so I'm not going crazy fast) and he struggles on some roads we go on. Something like a throughway is pretty much out of the cards for him.
SWEET!
Cheers! I'm quite happy with it.
Very nice congratulations
Thank you!
Congrats! May you ride forever!
Thank you!
Great first bike! Have fun and stay safe. Take your MSF course!
Thank you!
And I'm not from the US, so I had mandatory classes. :)
As makes sense
