Looks great. I tested one of these after an a new SV650 and a Bandit. Really liked it, but illogically didn't want a faired bike and wasn't keen on the naked ones.
@jackbepablo - don't tempt me, I'm also trying / trying not to upsell myself a new MOSFIT rectifier!

Nice bike matey - I like these a lot more than the SV. That's going to be loads of fun, congrats.

Really, really good choice -great machines. Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

Sounds like a good day to me and congrats. Good time of year to buy I think as bargains can be had and you have the winter to sort any niggles before the spring. Enjoy!

Oh man, congratulations. That looks like a proper banger. Totally love these and I've wanted one for ages, but opposite to you, I just didn't get along with the riding position.
So many mods available too. Definitely get a new pipe. The original really mutes the lovely pop these can make.
Congrats again, now the proper fun begins, and don't forget life savers. -
Went and saw a Kawasaki ER6F in Bexleyheath. It was clean, had a few scratches but all round a good example. Sat on it and rode it down the road. I wanted it! Gave the bloke some money and I was on my way. Absolutely love it!
I had one of those when I passed my test - was a good first big bike - I didn't really like the motor sound, although maybe improved with after market pipe

Picked up my first bike on Sunday!
Went down to Winchester to have a look at a SV650S. Had a look around and it seemed okay. It had definitely been dropped at some point. Sat on it and immediately didn’t want it. I’m sure I would have gotten used to it but it was a no from me.
Decided to go to a cafe after and search autotrader, eBay etc for nearby or near home bikes. Found one not too far from south London so went and had a look.
This is where I’d like to thank @PhilDAS for carting me around all day on the back of his bike.
