The first review of the ER-6n?

Oh, and for Mick (he knows which one):
The seat height is 785mm

And the official ER-6n website:
http://www.er-6n.com/top.html

The official site is kinda cool. Has rotating images of the bike, full specs, downloads etc.

A few more specs:
Weight: 174kg dry
Power: 53kw (72ps)
Torque: 66Nm

Even comes with a hard luggage option!

Umm, that'd be me, alas

But it's a good height, spot on for old vertically-disadvantaged Mick!!!

Still not quite fully drawn over to the dark side by its looks, but I'd still like to throw a leg over it and give it the berries and see how it performs.

Any word on it coming to Australia?

POSTSCRIPT: Not at this stage by the looks of it.

European journalists have already riden the 2006Kawasaki ER-6n, and informal reviews are positive. The 650cc machine could be a strong rival to Suzuki's popular SV650. This still appears to be a Europe-only product at this point.

Actually I'd still prefer a Z750 or Z1000 anyway...

Whats with that headlight

Yeah I agree, the only thing I don't like is the head-light, very Brutal, Fazer etc etc....what's wrong with good ol' bug-eyes

They should have just stuck a Z1 faring on it and called it a job done.

Hear a rumour today, from a very reliable source.

This bike is coming to Aus and should be here about February.

Any idea of the $$$, lower than the Z750?

When I was at the Kwaka dealer here yesterday I asked the same thing and I can confirm that they said it will be coming here, although they couldn't say if any changes would be made and mentioned it could arrive late this year/early next year as the 06 models arrive I assume.
