Kawasaki ER6

[Hitcher]

A new model from Kawasaki -- a parallel twin 650. Exhaust obviously inspired by Buell. Looks nice...

Not bad - looks better than the SV650......

Hopefully they will come out with an awesome SV650S beater too......

I'd say that's the market they're going for.

Prefer the styling of the Z750/1000 personally.

Now that is neat,know anymore about it.
Price ect.

Now that's very tasty. Our choices just keep growing every year in direct proportion to shrinking wallets. I've owned the ER5 and that was good value.
That new fashion guru at the big K is really paying off. At Martinborough last weekend a group of us commented on the row of Kawasakis outnumbering all the other makes combined. That's a big turn around from the past few years, decades even, when Kawasakis have been a rare sight. That ER6 will make a brilliant commuter and mid-sized progression bike (like the SV650 is now). Well the new looks worked on me.

[Hitcher]

But wait, there's more!

[Bonez]

The side on looks semi ok. But the others-UGLY!!!!! with a capital U. :brick:

[Jackrat]

Would want to see it in the flesh me thinks.
Something about the headlights nowdays,,,,,,,?

[John]

Ah, the new age GPX has really matured.

[FROSTY]

[T.I.E]

[zadok]

Just came across it. I must admit to liking it a lot. Certainly got it in the looks department for me. :ride:

[Badcat]

i think the fairing is a bit wrong.
looks a lot like the ducati multistrada - "interesting"
wasn't designed by a german - was it?

[Paul in NZ]

What is with the 'stacked' lights thing?

shudder....

shudder....
That does look a bit strange I must admit.

[vifferman]

What is with the 'stacked' lights thing?
Oh that.

It's a stacked lights thing.
It's where they put the lights up and down, instead of sidey-by-side.
It's all the rage, you know. Vewwy twendy.
I might have to rip out my old style lights, fill the front of the fairing with bog, and stack me some lights too.

[FROSTY]

My ears perked up as soon as I saw this--I mean A KWASAKI 650
Perfect F3 bike.
This one in the pics is the Euro market lower HP model
We'll see it in about november
BUT --the US-Canadian market model---YUMEEE --full faired with full HP
Kawasaki aren't allowed to reveal the figures but --well I want one

[Hitcher]

"Stacked" is good...

[SPman]

So is "stacked", the new stoked?

[Hitcher]

Or the old "stacked"?

[SPman]

I'm stoked , either way! :Punk:

[Hitcher]

Hm

Very interesting. Very interesting indeed. It sounds very nice. In fact it sounds like a modern version of the old Thunderbolt or Tiger 110. A sensible practical workaday bike. with enough power and decent handling to be fun, without the downside of a sprot bike.

But I wonder how the riding position will feel afer 4 or 5 hundred km?

They say it's budget price too . I wonder what budget means in this context. Does anyone know if they're going to bring it to NZ

Mind you, I still have difficulty accepting that a Kockasucky isn't planning to murder me. Those emotional scars still run deep.
