Hello guys and girls,

I am interested in buying my first 600 cc bike and I need some opinions about some models I looked into. Here they are:

- Honda Hornet 600cc (in-line 4-cylinder)
- Kawasaki ER6 650cc (Parallel Twin)
- Triumph Street Triple 675cc (in-line 3-cylinder)

I am looking into nearly-new bikes: second-hand with less than 10.000 km (6000 miles).

I would like to know which one fits my needs best:
- to fit me well, as I am 1.78 m tall (5.84 feet)
- to be cost-friendly to maintain and repair in service (I do not have time/energy/knowledge to do it myself)
- to have ABS and Fuel Injection
- to be comfortable to ride alone
- to be comfortable to ride with passenger for at least 200 Km
- to have a good mileage
- to not get bored with it after 6 months or 1 year

 

As much as I like Honda products, I believe the Kawasaki is your winner...
