The Kawasaki ER-6f, also known as the Ninja 650R or EX-6, was a standard motorcycle part of the Ninja series in Kawasaki's range, manufactured in 2005, sold to the public from 2006, and produced until 2017.
In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki ER-6f, a fully faired machine that featured the same package as the previous model, packing the same visual, technical, and performance specifications without any significant modifications.
The bike came dressed in a sports bike-inspired fairing with an aggressive front cowl and a windscreen, a dual headlight system, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a low-mounted exhaust system, and six-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
The bike was built around a diamond high-tensile steel frame, packing a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front with 120 mm wheel travel and an off-set adjustable shock absorber on the rear with 130 mm wheel travel.
As for the braking performance, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 300 mm semi-floating petal discs tied to dual-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm petal disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear.
As for the power figures, the 2010 Kawasaki ER-6f had its soul brought to life by a 649cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 72 hp at 8,500 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
