Re: Kawasaki ER-6n and Z250 Launched at 4.78 and 2.99 Lakh INR


Bennelli 600i comes from china and is built to their standards of production.
Kawasaki is Japanese and built to jap specs.
You decide.

Re: Kawasaki ER-6n and Z250 Launched at 4.78 and 2.99 Lakh INR

BN600i is Chinese Built, not that its going to be Bad. You can query our own Sunny or Sunil sir for the reviews, since they test drove the bikes. But for me, the pick will be TNT899. Pure Italian baby....But heard from Powerdrift and other review forums that the build quality is good except for the console with it a bit dated compared to the ones available (can you believe, this bike is a 10 yr old design !!!!).

Yes, Price will be a deciding factor. But I don't see anything less than 5.5l ex-showroom.

Re: Kawasaki ER-6n and Z250 Launched at 4.78 and 2.99 Lakh INR

Yup yes TNT899 is the best but I guess it will be priced around 6.5lak to hve better market than z800. My price bracket is 5lak. Sorry to say but ninja 650 dint impress me in terms of front stying but er6n being so simple holds a eligent look. Other hand hyosung gt650r & gt650n are so well priced but quality I dont feel its up to mark & also read some threads abt few issues in it so I am totally confused to choose one. I dont want to regret later so checking all possibilities before investing because its a very huge amount for me. Please guide me guys.

Lets not jump into conclusions with the pricings yet. It should be out anytime next month as bookings are to commence by then. So, yeah, checking on the DSK - Hyosung pricing, the Benelli will not be way off mark , but somewhat close to the Japs ...but not higher too...6.5L is a little less...I would say 7-8 OTR is a bang on buck...IMO

Re: Kawasaki ER-6n and Z250 Launched at 4.78 and 2.99 Lakh INR

Yes its woth every peny we pay if It come around 7l but if they price it around 8 then I feel z800 takes the crown with its sweet 4cylinder engine, sharp killer looks & good probiking network. Wish beneli to price as cheapest as possible so that I can live my dream.

Re: Kawasaki ER-6n and Z250 Launched at 4.78 and 2.99 Lakh INR

Looking at pathetic dealer and service networkof DSK, I will definitely suggest you to avoid Benelli for some time.

Er-6N is a great bike. However, it is not in leagues or 600i or TNT 899. It is more in line of Hyosungs. However, Kawasaki service network and after sales is great and ER-6N is true Value for money.

If possible, go for something like a used Superbike or save up a little and go for a new Z800. These are more worth of an upgrade and will not leave you cribbing for that rush you get when riding these machines.
Or if you are on budget, get a used Hyosung and pimp it up with power and suspension upgrades.

Re: Kawasaki ER-6n and Z250 Launched at 4.78 and 2.99 Lakh INR

S I do feel z series are the killers in naked ranges but still I feel its over priced just to keep a good space for upcoming single cylinder ninja's. They are making use of brand name in a well manner & it make sense too since they are the only one still in india having a gud probiking network.

Re: Kawasaki ER-6n and Z250 Launched at 4.78 and 2.99 Lakh INR

Is kawasaki providing test ride for er6n I would lik to ride & check. I dont want to go for a send hand one bec its very diff to get with clean papers & z800 recently launched so will not be selling so soon who have it.

One more question does we can get good sound out of kawa by installing akrapoki or scorpion exhaust. Sound of stock exhaust is very undigestable atleast for me.

Re: Kawasaki ER-6n and Z250 Launched at 4.78 and 2.99 Lakh INR

They don't offer test rides. It sucks but this is how it is. As for used super bike do consider more than just the price. I have a N 650 and like you 5 l is a large amount for me too. Its not about just buying the bike but maintaining too. Without zero dep insurance I would have had some trouble paying for the spares. One RVM costs 3000. In tiself it doesnt look too much, but a fall will come with additional repairs.

If you have a bike and you ride, you will crash. Do take the cost of repairs in consideration. If you get a Ducati Pnnigale for 3 lacs, it is not necessarily a good deal. No use if you cant afford the regular tyre changes, services and inevitable repairs.

I recently had some other problem, thankfully warranty took care. Another thing you might miss on a used bike.

Without zero dep insurance and warranty you might end up with really huge bills even for seemingly small problems. Do think very carefully about that.

And have you rode a N650 or ER-6N? The power delivery is linear and leaves a little to be desired. But that is because you don't realise how quick and fast you are. 0-100 times are comparable to any other 600 cc supersports out there, check on the net. I have crossed 200 numerous times. 180 comes without warning even on short highway runs.

The stock exhaust sound is too civil, and I like it that way. But post 6000 rpm the bike starts to sing and exhaust starts sounding real good as you climb up the rev range.

This bike is no Daytona, but at half the price it is certainly a brilliant proposition. And it is at home on almost all kinds of roads.

Re: Kawasaki ER-6n and Z250 Launched at 4.78 and 2.99 Lakh INR

No I am not yet blessed so far to try any SBK nor N650. Non of my frnds own it. To be frank they all always give advice to buy a gud car rather than investing on SBK my boss a french guy he too say the same since there are no good roads in india to utilize SBK to its potential, but I still sticking to own a SBK bec its my passion & dream which I had when I saw a busa at the age of 14 . That day I promised myself even if SBK let me to be a bachelor all my life with its sucking maintenance I dont mind but I wil get it in my life and even today I am working hard go bring one. I hope time has arrived to get one now.

Re: Kawasaki ER-6n and Z250 Launched at 4.78 and 2.99 Lakh INR

i think nobody has purchased Z250 bike so far. we are not getting any feed back from our members. i want to know about the country from where this bike is imported. if it is coming from japan, we may justify price of the bike up to some extent otherwise i think price is on higher side.

Re: Kawasaki ER-6n and Z250 Launched at 4.78 and 2.99 Lakh INR

Yeah, there is no z250 ownership feedback and one reason is its price which is way too high for 250 and the other is D390 which can do more than it can do and can leave you with 1L spare cash to use as you please.

You won't get any made in Japan bikes here because they only cater to japanese market, for asia they export from their Thailand plant.

Re: Kawasaki ER-6n and Z250 Launched at 4.78 and 2.99 Lakh INR

Hi
I have N 650 and I find if very good for Indian roads. It's a safe bike for people upgrading from small capacity bikes. It's power is manageable. I believe for any rider that is a very important parameter as we are taking about street use.

Track use is a different ball game. And requires different bikes like R1 .

From my 8+ kms ride on n650 I can say that it's fast when u need it. Can get u to 200 + if there is a road and suitable traffic conditions. And u can handle it without much difficulty in Mumbai peak hour traffic. I do it so I can safely vouch for it.
And yes u can cha he the sound. With akra or Leo Vince.
But I like the stock sound as I use it for long distance touring and around 7-800 kms per day kind of ride. The loud exhaust sound gets to you after sometime. Try riding behind a bike with loud exhaust for about an hour and see what happens to your ears even with earplugs.
I'm not advocating anything. just sharing my experience.

cheers
ride safe

Is there any ownership post of Z250?
