The Kawasaki ER6f is the fully faired brother of the Kawasaki ER6n. For motorcyclists, whether new to two wheels or long-term riders, the essence of motorcycling and the freedom that riding on two wheels provides is sometimes difficult to express.
With a reputation for innovative motorcycles delivering the performance sought by enthusiasts the world over, Kawasaki took the refreshing and imaginative step of combining their engineering prowess and an awareness of contemporary design. The introduction of the stunning Kawasaki ER6f has sharpened this image further.
The Kawasaki ER6f is a machine for riders of all ages and abilities whether male or female, the core appeal being a motorcycle with cutting edge design which is just as pleasing to look at as it is to ride. For those that feel that the Kawasaki ER6n simply does not offer the weather protection that they were looking for, or that the very individual cockpit fairing is just too quirky for their taste then the Kawasaki ER6f is the perfect alternative.
For new riders, the Kawasaki ER6f experience will grow and mature along with theirs.
For existing riders, the machine will reawaken in them the very essence of the motorcycle
riding sensation, providing a broad spread of useable engine power matched to a chassis
that is outstanding in both visual and engineering terms.
The ER6f represents a single-minded vision for the Kawasaki company, a vision born of
a passionate commitment to offering the sheer enjoyment that motorcycling represents to
the widest possible audience and at the best possible price.
In an age where transport alternatives all shout for attention, the Kawasaki ER6f evokes the elusive essence of Kawasaki's commitment to fun, thrills and freedom on two wheels, crafted and distilled into one distinctive statement.
What has changed and why?
In order to reduce vibration for the rider, the Kawasaki ER6f engine has been rubber mounted. Normally, rubber mounting tends to give bikes a vague feeling but with the new more rigid frame and new swingarm this is far from the case. This new ER6F is sharper and more precise in its handling that ever before.
Although the engine of the Kawasaki ER6f is completely unchanged, the exhaust has been modified, as has the fuel injection mapping. The Kawasaki ER6f engine has proven its worthiness over the past 3 years and with major valve clearance servicing only being due every 26000 miles, the cost of ownership is kept to an absolute minimum.
The fuel delivery system still uses a highly efficient dual butterfly electronic fuel injection system. The first butterfly being controlled by you, the second by Kawasaki's clever little ECU that ensures smooth fuel/air delivery, thus smooth power delivery especially thanks to the re-mapping for the 2009 ER6f model.
The Kawasaki ER6f continues to offer a sensible, comfortable riding position. The cutting edge handling capabilities of this machine defy the previous statement. Throw a leg over the new ER6f and you will want to bypass those "A" roads, get off the "B" roads and find the twisty country lanes where the true joy of this all new machine will be appreciated.
