Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2007, 2008
In 2008, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki ER-6n, a standard motorcycle that debuted in 2006. The ER-6n model was the naked brother of the ER-6f and was sold in the American market from 2009.
The 2007 Kawasaki ER-6n was in its second year of production. It came with the same package as the previous model, packing the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without any significant modifications, except for the color scheme.
In the visual department, the naked bike was fitted with standard features, such as a vertically-stacked dual headlight unit, small side panels with integrated turn signals, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, an under-belly exhaust system, and six-spoke lightweight wheels.
The bike was built around a diamond high tensile steel frame, wearing a 41 mm conventional telescopic fork on the front as a suspension and an offset lay-down shock absorber on the rear with preload adjustment, offering optimum handling capabilities.
In the braking department, the motorcycle packed two semi-floating 300 mm petal discs with dual-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm petal disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.
Underneath its fuel tank, the 2007 Kawasaki ER-6n had installed a 649cc four-stroke liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine managed by a fuel injection system, boasting 72 hp at 8,500 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
