2017
The 2017 Kawasaki ER-6n continues the lineage of Kawasaki's popular naked middleweight motorcycles. It aims to provide an accessible and stylish option for riders seeking a practical yet enjoyable machine. In a competitive segment, the ER-6n faces rivals such as the Yamaha MT-07 and Suzuki SV650, each offering a unique take on the parallel-twin naked bike formula.
At the heart of the 2017 ER-6n lies a 649.0 ccm (39.60 cubic inches) parallel-twin engine. This powerplant produces a respectable 72.0 HP (52.6 kW) at 8500 RPM, providing ample power for various riding situations. The engine also generates 64.0 Nm (6.5 kgf-m or 47.2 ft.lbs) of torque at 6500 RPM, ensuring strong low-end and mid-range pull, crucial for everyday usability and confident overtaking. This power delivery makes it a forgiving and manageable motorcycle for riders of varying skill levels.
The ER-6n provides a comfortable, upright stance, typical of naked bikes, making it suitable for longer rides. The seat height of 805 mm (31.7 inches) offers good accessibility for a wide range of rider heights. While not a track-focused machine, the ER-6n offers agile handling and responsive steering, making it enjoyable on twisty roads. Suspension is tuned towards comfort, absorbing bumps and imperfections in the road surface effectively.
The Kawasaki ER-6n is targeted towards riders seeking a versatile and stylish naked motorcycle that is easy to handle and enjoyable to ride. It's an excellent choice for commuters, weekend riders, and those new to the middleweight category. The combination of its manageable power, comfortable ergonomics, and attractive design makes it a well-rounded option in the competitive naked bike market, offering a solid and dependable riding experience.
