Ya they're nice.
I have one too but unfortunately i need to sell it. Used it as a commuter and im no longer commuting to work due to location change.

Its been sitting around for months unused and cant justify to renew the insurance for the occasional spin.

Been enjoying this the last few days.

Lovely bike - what's it like to ride and what's it like to live with? Could it be used every day or would it be better for just the odd blast?

I only use it on the weekend if it's fine. It's really nice on a good road, it has plenty of power and it sounds unreal. It's definitely not for everyday use unless you like being roasted alive. With the exhaust under the seat any stop start riding through a town is torture after a while. It's pretty hard on bumpy roads too.

Zascar · 24-04-2016 2:36pm

I used to have a 749 and really loved it. I used it every day - but yes in the summer it will roast the arse off you

Thanks for that. I'm kind of on the lookout for a bike and I've seen a few of them for sale. I think they look class but if I'm buying a bike I'll probably be riding it maybe four days a week or so.

What would it be like for a tall ish rider?

Should be fine but I'm only 5'9 so not the best to ask

The only way to know with anything like that really is sit on one.

Got this beauty today, Hornet 250 (2003). It was well looked after by the previous owners and is an absolute pleasure to drive. The scorpion can also sounds savage on it.

Wonda-Boy · 01-05-2016 10:53am

That is a dinger so much bike there for a 250 man I would love a rip on that. Beauty!!!

So I got the tail tidy fitted. I need to do something with the mirrors, I have a great view of my arms.
I wouldn't mind finding nicer ones, but add ons aren't that easy to find for this bike.

Tail tidy looks well, most bikes in that class could do with one for the stock ****e-looking fender. The ER-6 I have looks completely different with the tidy on.

You could get mirror extenders for the existing ones, I had them on a diversion back when I had one. I got the yamaha ones, but it looks like sw-motech do them as well: http://www.motorcycleshop.ie/mirror-extension-profile-black-yamaha-xj-6-diversion-f-10--8702-p.asp

I agree, a friend has an er6, completely different with the tail tidy.

Funny, after I posted that I ended up watching your walkaround and saw them. I wa going to try looking for them today. Cheers. Did they make a big difference?
This might be a silly question, but where did you put your tax disk on it?
