er-6n

[phoenix]

You might look to Suzuki if you haven't already. There is the Vstrom and the Gladius. Both have modern engines that are proven technology. Good versatile machines.

i have looked at all makers and read and watched a few reviews and most have put the er-6n on top. have a friend with a vstrom and its a bit to tall for me.
and as me getting another bike for riding around in town. Thats not going to happen i plan on keeping my gz for going back and forth work and the such. and what i ment by the rock and the hard place statment was that i dont want a rocket and i dont want a tank cruiser. and maybe i'm wrong but i'm not finding much in the middle of that.
