neverdie Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 BBB, I reakon those quick fixes for the er6n are even more fuggly that the original 'Hat'. I agree with you the best fix is the 'F' fairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Odd as they made quite a nice aggressive look with the z750.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzinged Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Odd as they made quite a nice aggressive look with the z750.. Why stop with the ER6-N? I wish they'd bring in the Z1000 Or maybe even one of these!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bard Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well then it looks like Kawa won't let us get the ER-6n and the Yammie will keep it's high price, so I better start saving up for the Yammie. BTW I was really keen on the BMW F650GS but the price went up with over 100,000,- Baht which I do understand since they now got an 800cc twin in it. BUT the price overseas is just under 10,000,- $ so the premium price here does not make any sense at all Sad if Kawa don't push through 650 which might get us better priced alternatives as well... Ohh well LOS is Loss Of Smile now... Cheers Bard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they'd bring in the Z1000 I agree about the Z1000, they're a great fun bike. <deleted> is that thing above, i would hate to be maintaining all those lovely pipes coming from the donk......looks like its about a 3000cc engine??

Zzinged Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Suzuki Stratosphere is a Suzuki concept motorcycle, powered by a 1100cc transverse narrow-bore 24-valve inline-6 engine, rated at 180 HP. According to Suzuki press materials, the engine produced above 100 lb-ft of torque from just above idle all the way to redline. It has been approved for production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBikeBKK Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 That Suzuki looks pretty wild, but how many millions do you think it would cost in the LOS? Back to the topic at hand. How about this pimped out ER-6N TURBO? Of course the mods would cost far more than the bike itself, but it's still pretty sexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelmate Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Nice looking bike. But a turbo is kinda extreme. Could use the same money for track days and become a better faster rider than the dude who slapped a turbo on. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Zz, That Suzuki looks positively FAT until you look at the picture taken of it (from the riders seat) looking down onto the tank.....looks thin. 100lb of torque from idle, 180hp, sure would launch ok. BBB, that bike looks hot, what are its stats with a turbo hooked up? got any idea? I agree with Travelmate, turbos are alright but not much use in LOS. Nice paint, awesome wheels. The front of that one looks good too - no hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember where I found that pic of the turbo ER-6n and I agree 110% that a turbo mc would be silly here in Thailand, but I really like some of the other mods they did to that bike so thought I'd share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBikeBKK Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 One more- Just google er-6n turbo and you can find a lot more pics of this bike. Would love to know how they made that front end. Can anyone identify what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Tony i think its hand made cos the rear light is cbr600 led not Kawa. its the same as my custom rear end on the cibby. the headlight does look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 the whole bike is boner material (so to speak). tail light looks hot, if only they come outa the factory like this for 300k.

dotcom Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I do have some questions though. In the picture of the three CBRs, I only saw helmets with flip down shields. Does nobody wear the full face style, or do they just not leave them on their bikes? Also, what, if any, leathers are used? We need to keep safe on the road, and I enjoy reading reports like these, preferring to not have them contain a "we had a good time, but....". Dave I was the first to write about the Iron Butt Ride. I didn't kick you in the ribs over your little "slide". We had a good time BUT.......................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused; you pulled up a quote from exactly 7 months ago when I asked what type of safety gear people were wearing. As you know I had a full face helmet, leather jacket, gloves and motorcycle boots on. With the exception of bruised muscles and a wounded pride I walked away with nary a scratch on me. Perhaps I'm missing what your point is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
