The rear end of the bike is uncluttered with rear footrest hangers being made almost invisible by mounting them off the main frame. All that the back end seems to be there for is rider and pillion (Note the pillion freindly grab rails) and sufficient lighting to tell those behind you what you are doing.

The instrument panel is also kept clear and simple with an analogue rev counter, digital speedo and temperature and fuel reserve looked after by warning lights, it too looks uncluttered.
Handlebars mounted conventionally on the top yoke gives a very comfortable riding position and allows the bars to be rolled forward or backward slightly to suit individual comfort.

The parrallel twin engine although dervied from the super reliable ER5 plant is in fact an ALL NEW powerplant. In fact, the 650 engine thanks to a highly modified gearbox is smaller than that of the ER5. This has in turn allowed for a smaller, shorter chassis giving it cutting edge handling. The fact that the engine is so narrow aids balance and makes the bike feel even lighter than the featherweight that it already is.

The exhaust system runs under the bike and exits in front of the rear wheel. This as with the engine aids overall bike balance and the feel that there is no weight to this machine.
Cleverly the rear shock has been mounted directly between frame and swingarm without excess link arms, bushes, bearings etc. Helping not only in the area of weight loss, but also reducing maintenance long term.


The fuel delivery system has moved to a highly efficient dual butterfly electronic fuel injection system. The first butterfly being controlled by you, the second by Kawasaki's clever little ECU that ensures smooth fuel/air delivery, thus smooth power delivery.

The Kawasaki ER6-n offers a sensible, comfortable riding position. The cutting edge handling capabilities of this machine defy the previous statement. Throw a leg over the New ER6n and you will want to bypass those "A" roads, get off the "B" roads and find the twisty country lanes where the true joy of this all new machine will be appreciated.
