I think 650R is most practical and affordable machine. Looks good too.

My vote goes to 650R.

Boss I'm also in a similar state and hence not able to decide which one to choose and hence my word of caution to all others.

I feel 650R. will be the appropriate choice as per the reasons given by fellow xbhpians and also in terms of pricing point 650R is being produced in Indonesia Plant where the 250 ninja is also produced. Throw in the India- Indonesia trade pact and we can benefit from the import taxes as well .So a huge save in import duties hence competitive pricing.

Though the 650 would make more sense, i have chosen the zx6r. I feel its next best thing CBR in street handling and comfort with sporty riding position.
And if Ninja 250 is possible in sub 800cc, why can't 6r be possible??

The ER-6N, as it is the one with the most sense.
Sure, the faired bikes look great but practicality wins in the long run.

@MG - I think words of current SBK owners will be more valuable.
