Good choice, I’ve had a 2014 ER6f for about 6 years now and apart from the fit and finish being a bit crap it’s been a fab bike … lots more fun than the faster bikes I had before and if you have good form it can go well on the track too (the frame geometry really responds to rider weight movement). Also the ER6n was used by one of the former European Moto Gymkhana champions, too :-)
Protip: if there’s no record of the forks being rebuilt it’s a worthwhile thing to have done on any bike that’s over 10 years old!
Good brake pads, braided lines, and aftermarket handlebars all made noticeable improvements for me, too.
It’s a Kawasaki ER-6n from 2015. I’m quite enjoying it so far, for as long as the good weather lasts.
Hey that’s the same model as my first, except like 20 years newer. Great machine.
Did they make these 20 years ago?
Not quite, it turns out. Quick Google got me the ER-5, built from 1997-2006. Mine was the 1998 model, if I recall correctly.
I just googled it. That’s also a nice looking bike. I think my uncle used to ride one of those back in the day.
