As the 2009 ER-6n gears up for America, engineers update the finishing touches of the 650cc parallel-twin in order for the 72bhp engine to look like is was meant to power the naked bike in the first place, not the Ninja 650R.
Kawasaki knows how demanding U.S. consumers can be with new products, especially the ones that don’t conform to their idea of a motorcycle so it ads a low, slim seat in addition to the comfortable riding position. Also, it is now claimed that a significantly lower level of vibrations will be transmitted through the handlebars and pegs, making it a good recommendation for women orientating towards two-wheeled forms of transportation.
Still, the bike doesn’t look as being powered by a two-cylinder engine and hides the low seat pretty good with its big Kawi looks. The headlight is nicely contoured in a greatly finished fairing while stylish signal lights are integrated into the side fairing, giving the ER-6n a stylish, distinctive look. Even though a naked, you will have to have a trained eye to spot the exhaust when all the 72 bhp are being rushed next to you.
MSRP in this case is $6,399, which makes the ER-6n a hard to beat package.
