I have a cbr650F and always wondered how different an er6n is

i rode the er6n and the cbr650f and the er6n feels like it is much heavier and not nearly as responsive. The power curve on the er6n is torquey where as the Honda has better top end. I prefer the Honda much more.

the difference in 4 letters...VTEC! I just love the way the CBR sounds and feels while going through the gears. An inline 4 is the way a sport bike should be.

I know it aint the same but a Z800 does kick ass.

Haven't ridden one but I believe you. Inline 4 and more displacement than the 650s. They look and sound good too.

wish the z800 was just a tad lighter and had abs.. then it would have been on my hit list. Sounds great and good power

IMO ABS is a must in thailand.

The CBR650F doesn't have VTEC. But yea, it's a great bike.

Ran around to Honda at the weekend but no test bikes at all but got to sit on a customers bike who was collecting his at the time. Joker of a salesman new little about the bikes and told me i looked great on it before i got my leg over. I think these bike are selling themselves at the moment so dont think they care at all.

60 day wait for the cb650f thanks looong! guess i better start raiding the used market.

I also swung by ducati and had a blast on the scrambler what a machine! so narrow and soaks up the crappy roads like a magic carpet. Would love to give my commute a go on one of these, although i worry about my sperm count with the heat from that engine. Sadly my gf laughed at me as soon as i sat on it said i look like i borrowed my kids toy bike also a tad pricey for me . Great sales guy at Ducati on rama 3.

Bought a cb650f 2016 recently, they said 4 week wait and then delivered it a few days later

Wouldn't worry if they say it's a long wait

Agree with your GF. It reminds me of an Actionman toy. Parachutes not included!

Picked up my CB650f today 5000 kms 240k.

Love it, feels more refined and balanced than the er6 felt at home on it straight away.

Would recommend the swap to anyone especially if you are a bit taller its more comfortable on your legs than the ER6.

Molester: shouldn't it have gold wheels? Oh and the suspension on the Scrambler is certainly no magic carpet. It's a super budget (reportedly $38 for the rear) one that transmits a shock up your spine if you happen to drive over an ant. I know because I have one and hate it. New shock is high up on my list.

Enjoy your ride though. I'm sure it'll be good fun. Love the tricolor.

lol I only took the scrambler around rama 3 and i thought it was ok didnt think much for the saddle though, I am not a bike guru so my opinion is not really worth much to be fair.

Yea pretty sure the wheels should be gold too but i bought it from a trader so no ideas really. i quite like the black though. My only complaint is the exhaust may as well be riding a mobility scooter may have to gut the silencers out the box as i love the OE look.

I would first buy some crankcase protectors. I gutted the muffler on mine, kept the CAT. Sounds much better and looks stock. Easy job.

I rode to chantaburi from pattaya with a large group of guys with different bikes. One of the members had a Ducati Diavel, one a er6n, and I rode a CBR650F. The guy with the Ducati let me ride his bike for a while (we switched) and after the ride he told me that the Honda was super smooth and after 5 minutes he felt like he had been riding it forever and it was "his bike". This from am Italian that works for Ducati. The er6n guy said that his bike does nothing well. It's a sport tourer and it does not excel at being a sport bike or a tourer. Nuff said.

On a side note, the Ducati was absolutely amazing..but a totally different bike in different league.
