The Kawasaki ER-6 road bike series was first introduced in 2006 as a successor to the outdated model Kawasaki ER-5, new Kawasaki ER-6 was aimed not only at the Japanese-Asian market, but also in Europe, America and Australia.

Lineup :

Main competitors:

Kawasaki ER-6N

Kawasaki ER-6F

Noteworthy is the fact that the naked version of the motorcycle (Kawasaki ER-6n) was more popular in Europe, while in the United States until 2009, only the version with fairings was supplied (Kawasaki ER-6f), sold there under the name Kawasaki Ninja 650R. ... Both modifications of the motorcycle were presented on the Australian market, but the sport-touring version (Kawasaki ER-6f) was the most popular.

Modifications:

  • Kawasaki ER-6N - naked version
  • Kawasaki ER-6F (Ninja 650R) - full version

2016 was the last year of production for the ER-6 and Ninja 650R models. Instead, Kawasaki offered two motorcycles that became the successors of this series - Kawasaki Z650 and Kawasaki Ninja 650 (without the R prefix). Both models received a number of significant visual and technical differences, and went on sale in 2017.

In 2007, based on the Kawasaki ER-6, a crossover was created Kawasaki Versys 650.
