Kawasaki ER-4 n ABS
2013
2013
The 2013 Kawasaki ER-4n ABS is a naked motorcycle designed to offer an accessible and manageable riding experience. As part of Kawasaki's ER series, it aimed to bridge the gap between beginner-friendly machines and more potent middleweight options. It entered a competitive market segment, directly challenging models like the Suzuki Gladius and Yamaha XJ6, offering an alternative take on the upright, naked bike formula.
Powering the ER-4n ABS is a 399.0 ccm parallel-twin engine. This powerplant generates a maximum power output of 42.9 HP (31.3 kW) at 9400 RPM. The engine also produces a peak torque of 37.0 Nm (3.8 kgf-m or 27.3 ft.lbs) at 7500 RPM. This balance of power and torque provides adequate acceleration and responsiveness for various riding situations. The fuel tank has a capacity of 15.50 litres (4.10 US gallons), allowing for reasonable range between fill-ups.
The ER-4n ABS offers a relatively upright riding position, typical of naked bikes, which contributes to rider comfort, especially during shorter commutes. The seat height is 790 mm (31.1 inches), which makes it accessible to riders of varying heights. The inclusion of ABS provides an added layer of safety, particularly in wet or slippery conditions, giving riders more confidence. The suspension setup is tuned for everyday usability, absorbing bumps and road imperfections effectively.
The Kawasaki ER-4n ABS is geared toward riders seeking a manageable and practical motorcycle. It appeals to newer riders graduating from smaller displacement bikes, as well as experienced riders looking for a lighter and more fuel-efficient option for commuting or weekend rides. Its combination of a tractable engine, comfortable ergonomics, and the added security of ABS makes it a sensible choice in the naked bike category.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• The parallel-twin engine provides smooth and predictable power delivery, making it very beginner-friendly and manageable in urban environments. • ABS enhances safety, providing confidence in emergency braking situations, especially beneficial for new riders or riding in adverse conditions. • Light weight and relatively low seat height contribute to easy maneuverability and handling, promoting rider confidence at slow speeds. • Fuel efficiency is excellent, making it an economical choice for daily commuting and longer rides without frequent gas station stops. • The upright riding position provides good visibility and comfort for longer rides, reducing strain on wrists and back. • Its simple design and proven mechanics contribute to relatively low maintenance costs and good reliability.⚠️ Things to consider
• The 399cc engine lacks the power for comfortable high-speed highway cruising or aggressive overtaking maneuvers. • Suspension components are basic and not adjustable, potentially leading to a harsh ride on rough road surfaces. • The styling is somewhat dated compared to more modern naked bikes, potentially lacking visual appeal for some riders. • Limited aftermarket support compared to more popular models may make finding specific accessories challenging.The Kawasaki ER-4 n ABS produces 43 HP, fitting A2 license limits (max 35 kW / 47 HP). For riders 18+.
