    A 650NK/650i is just a mediocre copy of a 2006 Kawasaki ER6N.
    If you can find a 2nd hand low mileage one from 2006-2010 even the dumbest of the dumbest should realize it's a better bike than an NK for the same money.
    Paid for positive reviews are a sad fact of life these days. Also how can you get any idea of the long term reliability of a bike from 400 miles ride or two?
    You'd only buy a new NK if you were paranoid about 2nd hand bikes having been abused or you totally overvalue the idea of a warranty, that can actually be a PITA in the UK.

    People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do

    If I had a choice between a new CF NK and a used ER6N, I would rather have the Kawasaki.
    This is today and real actual options, WK is clearing out the inventory of the 650’s they may continue with new models I doubt they will come with a 1k discount , they will be ABS models and with likely higher price tags. They may have other improvements as well.
    The new NK, which is actually likely 2 years old, is 50% off the price of a ER6N however that’s a sale on old inventory, the new if they continue to sell them NK will likely be 4500 and only 25% off the ER6N, unless Kawasaki raises it prices, which are by the way MSRP not what you can actually get them for through shopping and negotiating.
    For example just a quick search on Gumtree found a brand new 2015 ER6N for 5k and that is 1k off
