You save 1000 quid, so that would make sense... When I count in the parts, no point really. If I get a MT07 for under 4k I'll buy it, if not than SV it is than ehh... I prefer the MT though, the position on the bike is much more relaxed, the bikes feels nimbler and the exhaust note with the IXILL in real life without db killers is poetry for my ears. :D

There was a MT-07 in midnight purple with rizoma tomok mirros, puig screen, new vents on front/back, MT edit shorties, MT reseviour caps, MT fuel cap decal, tail tidy, Rizoma mini led strip indicators and IXILL full exahust sytem without db killers. I walked in and asked how much, the guy said its not for sale :( It was done exactly as I was planning on doing it...
 
When you install that valve, share some pictures and how much time it saved you. :)

Proper bikes allow mph conversion on their digital speedo, like my Triumph :p

If only I could get a 'proper' bike without those stupid restrictions... :(

Crap in what way?

I sat and saw various bikes, in comparison most Kawasaki felt cheap apart from the sports. The materials, feel of controls, that outdated ugly dashboard and the squeak the bike made when I sat on it even though I'm only 11-12 stone. :eek: Its mainly ER6's and Ninja 300 that I'm referring to.

The new Honda's I've the same feeling, souless bikes... they do seem like good commuter bikes, but they're not the same as the older Honda's. ;)

Yamaha MT-07 felt a lot more premium and I believe it costs less? (need to check) The SV650 also has its own character, a bit ageing now and MT-07 seems like a great replacement for it. I'm not crossing it off the list though, but there's a limit I've set for both of these bikes as to how much I'll spend.

It's hard to explain, but I think every bike should have its character. I know someone said that the engines used in ER6's are used in races. But, I would love to see ER6-N vs MT-07 totally stock (inc. tyres) on a track. :p

I do like the ZX636R and ZX10R, its just the lower tier Kawasaki don't really seem to be that exciting (soulless).
 
But those commuter bikes are soulless, there's nothing exciting in them... :(

The MT-07 is being used by various stunt riders = https://www.facebook.com/stunter13dotcom/videos/954018004645779/
Its light, has nice torque and when I sat on it... I didn't feel the weight of it, it felt as if I picked up my ktm from a stand lol... The XJ6-N, it felt heavy, but the quality was still there and that feel. Honda CB650F on a first glance looks fairly attractive, but when you get to see her closer and sit on her... that magic disappears. :p
 
The sun is out and by looking at trees outside it doesn't seem like there's any wind. But its freezing, it was warmer in Poland compared to the UK now. It's suppose to be the other way round... lol :o

Is that really all I'd be paying for? :eek:

Might as well have a go at that price, plus I may not need my bike for commuting soon so might even have a go at fitting them myself :D

A lot of people use these on here, I think wazza300 has these on his Ninja.

I thought about some short levers, apart from aesthetics what's the point?

You can adjust it however you want, I like to use the clutch & brake with 2 fingers. I never use the clutch with my hole hand, so shorties are a must for me. :)
