http://www.kawasaki-motors.com/model/er-4n/spec.jsp for those who can read Japanese.

An ER4-N, ER4-F model are revealed, with the magazine claiming they are to be introduced later this year. Like the ER6, the ER4 models will be parallel twins

最高出力: 32 kW(44 PS)/9,500rpm
最大トルク: 37N・m(3.8 kgf・m)/7,500 rpm

looks like a top LAMS bike!!!!!!!!

(interesting pipe arrangement down near the tyre?)

[GPZ_Jim]

looks kewl but pretty anaemic power output at least its not as crippled as the new cbr 250

[Frank]

I don't know why they just don't use the ER-5 engine 500cc learner legal with a whooping 43kw output! Thats gotta be better than the 400.

[P4nza]

Why would you get an ER-4 when i can get an ER-6NL or 650R?

I doubt the 400 would be any quicker than the 600's

but i suppose its for those who dont wanna / cant ride 250's and dont want 600's.... picky bastards!

Rego costs in Japan are significantly cheaper in japan for 400cc and under bikes, hence they have simply launched a 400cc version of our er6

[Six Addict]

Correct Hoffy, it's just a sleeved down 650 engine too, so it weighs the same!

[Phil]

Pinchy and the Hoff have nailed it, 400's are by far the biggest sellers in Japan. In fact just about every bike in Japan comes in a 400cc version as well.

Doubt it will ever come here, thats what we have the 650L models for.
