That is a beautiful R6!

Would love to hear some advice for the best way to pick up one of those for a reasonable price here.

Seems like you can get some great deals (250k - 350k) but they are few and far between!

Yes you can get R6s for reasonable prices of course depending on year and condition the RJ15s are around 350k-400k (w. greenbook). Keep looking on thai motorcycle sites like mocyc everyday.... in the end you will find what you are looking for.

You're not one of those church of latter day saints dudes are you?

Even, If he is from that church, nice upgrade from the bicycles they normally ride... smile.png or do I mix up churches and are only the Jehovah Witness on bicycles...

This is my ride. 2011 Kawasaki 650 ER6n ( 4 more horsepower{stock} than the 2012 & 2013).It was your basic black & I just had it painted Chameleon Blue-purple to teal & a shade of brown in between. It is a real head turner & I get a lot of compliments on it from both Farangs & Thai's. Next is the sprocket change Apropovic exhaust & Ohlins shock.

i really like that chameleon colors but maybe a bit more red.

it looks like a good paint job as well. This paint shop was in Pattaya, right?

It is in Pattaya . I re-posted Great bike shop in Pattaya forum & condensed the original post with direction along with the pictures of the job. I sent him 14 jobs already.

They make a brown- red combo that graduates form blue to red to brown tones as well. I think there are 4 chameleon blends available. The paint job is superb . Max really knows how to lay it on & is a clean freak like me when I paint. Best prep work makes for best paint jobs. That & a steady hand & a good eye to watch how the paint is flashing.

Not sure what color the Ohlins shock spring will be for 2014 Hopefully not back to yellow. I don't think that would fit to well! Yikes!

After 3 years I got finally a real bike back...a 2 years old ER-6n. The Scoopy is already jealous. Still a couple of things to do with the new old baby and not much time at hand right now, but I'm happy she found a new home smile.png.

Before that I had a SV650S for something like 8 years in Singapore till 2010. That was also a great lil ride and I miss her smile.png

Yes, that's for sure :).. Needs some makeover anyway, the bike is still quite dirty even after washing. I plan to take it completely apart and then do some thorough cleaning. Respraying also, perhaps all black or that chameleon look in a dark variety....

2004 Ducati 999S. It does Street & Track duties when it suits me. Not as maintenance intensive as people may think, though I do enjoy working on it with the odd upgrade carried out once in awhile. The upgrades are all performance & track safety orientated and mostly hidden. Perhaps I'm tooting my own horn, but the bike sounds awesome. If anything the intake roar is just as good as the Termignoni full race system.

I really like the 999S, sure it was not the fastest, my current bike is much faster... the manufacturer even claims sometime like it's the fastest production bike... but for the feel and riding riding experience the Ducati 999S is excelent...

Not all about speed Richard, that is only part of the package. My bike is geared down for the track. For a proven comparison by myself and a buddys ZX10R, it will hold is ownm side by side, up to 255kph and then I get out horsepowered. I have another engine planned that will be cranking out 175+hp. A friend in the US had his 998 engine (999 had the same engine in general), which was massaged by Fast By Feracci. Once done, that should upset some of my Jap bike track buddies. :)

Had a SV650 before, the ER6 goes way better and stronger, although heavier.

Got the new CNX number plate today. But had to fly back to Bangkok, no time to touch the bike. But I removed those ugly flame stickers. I probably will go for all matte black respray. When I have the time it is...
