A nice seat cowl on the 6 would look smart.

Thanks pal!
Its on the To-Do list
Iv been waiting for one to come up for sale but iv not seen one yet and im not paying the 120 from kawasaki!
Check out absolute motorcycle parts for the seat cowl. Parts are genuine and really cheap postage can be expensive but I have found them still to be cheaper than dealers. Nice bikes they are sitting well. Hopefully not to much longer to the good weather

Don't suppose RJ featured your husky on his Facebook page?
Looks well, thought I recognised it from somewhere.

UPDATE..
Gave the kawasaki a service last month and stripped down the front end to check, clean and grease. also hit it with some acf50 for the coming winter months.
Also decided to throw a new chain and sprockets on her and install the secondary air system blanking plates ready for the dyno and bazzaz tune to be put on.
Before fitting the plates
Plates fitted!

So after fitting the SAS blanking plates i noticed the popping and spitting on run down had gone away as i expected and engine braking was slightly decreased which surprised me.
Next job on the list was to get the bike down to BJ mototech and have the bazzaz mapped!
She made 113.24 at the rear wheel. considering a stock 636 makes 115-117 at the wheel i dont think its done to bad!
I'm intending to de-cat the bike soon so i'll be going back before christmas to have that dialed in and see what difference it makes if any.
Cant say it feels any different power wise but delivery and throttle response are greatly improved! so smooth compared to what it was.
Also the dude at BJ mototech was great. would recommend!!

Both supermotos i've sold have ended in other countries. Suzuki to England and Ktm to Lithuania. Mates of mine have sold a few to England and Eastern European countries too! I've been told our prices are very cheap compared to the rest of Europe for bikes and supermotos especially.

The demand for supermotos over here is virtually non existent. The sports died off in the last 2-3 years i think. although in england the norasport season is booming!!

What a weekend!!
Ferry to england 10:30 sat morning with the husky in tow, got to birkenhead and made my way down the m6 to strike a deal with a fella who was taking the bike off my hands.
I'll not give full details of what went down but hours later i was back up the road with another bike in tow ready to spend the night in liverpool and get the ferry back on sunday morning.
so, my replacement for the supermoto, another supermoto? adventure bike?.....
nope.
after the track day last month iv been bitten by the bug!
here folks is the new track weapon!!
She's a 2010 gsxr750, more than enough power for me and cheap enough to repair if i slide it down the track with the race fairings.
only mods she's getting are a quick shifter and some preload adjuster thumb screws!
