    Suggestions needed

    Hi fellow bikers and gurus,
    My name is Rohan and I am currently located in the UK. I am planning to buy a 600cc motorcycle here this year. Since I am planning to use the bike for daily commute to the office and occasional weekend blasts, I have narrowed down to buying a naked city bike. The options I am considering at the moment are Honda CB600F Hornet and the Kawasaki ER6N. Would be great if you could pitch in your opinions which could help me make a decision.
    The Honda has more power but is a lot more expensive as compared to the Kwacker.
    My biking history has been only in India where I've primarily ridden the CBZ (2002) and a bit of Unicorn.
    Thanks

      Hornet should be good , but I doubt if you can ride a bike in UK for 3-4 months a year.

        As a fan of Yamaha, did you give a try with XJ6? If you'd tried, pls share your experiences as why you opted for Honda/Kawasaki than Yamaha. Thanks.

          Yes the Yamaha Diversion XJ6 would be great.
          A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

            thanks for the suggestion guys. Actually, the XJ6 is quite similar to the kwacker in terms of performance, and is more expensive compared to it. Also, yamaha bikes perform better at high revs and this performance would not be accessible during normal riding in the city. So the ER6N makes the cut ahead of XJ6.
            I've considered the honda for the performance, the resale value, the reliability and the looks although it is priced higher. I was also considering the suzuki GSX R600 and GSX R750 since they looked stunning, but they arent best suited for city riding.
