Kawasaki ER-4 n ABS
2014
2014
The Kawasaki ER-4n ABS, released in 2014, offered an accessible entry point into the naked bike category. A sibling to the ER-6n, it aimed to provide a more manageable experience for newer riders, especially in regions with tiered licensing. In terms of direct competition, it faced off against models such as the Honda CB500F and Suzuki SFV400 (Japan only), offering a similar combination of practicality and style in a smaller displacement package.
At the heart of the ER-4n ABS sits a 399.0 ccm (24.35 cubic inches) twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This powerplant generates a maximum power output of 42.9 HP (31.3 kW) at 9400 RPM, providing sufficient punch for everyday riding. The torque peaks at 37.0 Nm (3.8 kgf-m or 27.3 ft.lbs) at 7500 RPM, ensuring decent pull in the mid-range. The fuel tank has a capacity of 15.50 litres (4.10 US gallons), which allows for reasonable distances between fill-ups.
The ER-4n ABS offers an upright stance, typical for naked bikes, promoting rider comfort and good visibility. Its relatively low seat height of 790 mm (31.1 inches) makes it approachable for riders of various sizes. The suspension is tuned for comfortable road use, absorbing bumps adequately. The presence of ABS provides an added layer of safety, particularly beneficial for less experienced riders or in challenging conditions.
The 2014 Kawasaki ER-4n ABS is targeted towards novice riders and those seeking an affordable and practical motorcycle for commuting and leisure rides. Its manageable power, comfortable ergonomics, and the added safety of ABS make it a sensible choice for navigating urban environments. While it might not offer the raw aggression of larger displacement motorcycles, its user-friendly nature and approachable price point make it a compelling option in its class.
