Overview
The Kawasaki ER-6n ABS is a naked motorcycle produced from 2014 to 2017. The 2017 model uses a 649.0 cm³ liquid-cooled parallel twin producing 72 hp (54 kW) and 64.0 Nm at 6,500 rpm; its wet weight is 204.0 kg.
The 805 mm seat height and 770 mm overall width give the bike a relatively compact footprint, while its 204.0 kg wet weight is something riders will feel when maneuvering it at walking speed. The 16.00-liter tank sets its fuel capacity, and the chain final drive needs periodic cleaning and adjustment. ABS is optional, so equipment can vary between examples.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Strong midrange torque
The engine makes 64.0 Nm at 6,500 rpm, giving it useful pull without needing to reach very high engine speeds.
Suspension travel
With 125 mm of travel at the front and 130 mm at the rear, the suspension has room to absorb uneven pavement.
Things to consider
ABS is optional
The ER-6n ABS name does not guarantee the bike has ABS, since the system was optional.
Chain maintenance
The chain final drive needs regular cleaning and adjustment.
