Having travelled just over 9000 Km on my ER6N commuting to and from my work plus weekends runs, I´m very satisfied with my 06 model. It doesn´t work hard, very responsive and good for getting away from any potential situations in traffic is the qualities I like about mine. Very economical and punchy with a really good feel and rider position. With the EFI system it´s a thinking bike - no running troubles at all. Enjoy.
