nooooooooo ! the price of gas is too high ! noooooo !
What's this ? A nekkid street bike. 60 MPG ? Cheap insurance ? Nimble ? Did you say 60 MPG ? OH LUST !
yes, hopefully this isn't a snaffoo on the website, and we'll ACTUALLY START TO SEE SMALLER CC BIKES THAT ARE NAKED IN THE US !
bring on the FUEL INJECTED 250's ! bring em on !
(ya, i know the er is a 650, just making a point)

Looks pretty cool but I love Kawasaki's 650's.
the '09 looks even better. A lot better in fact.
I'm always hopeful of seeing stuff like that come stateside. Hopefully I can afford one too! :laugh:
Looks nice!
Looks like a Buell ripoff to me. :dunno_white:
Actually the ER6N bodywork predates the 1125R by nearly half a decade.

Just how I see it.
:cheers:
Oooh, yes! I do like!
They also show that the super sherpa is coming back to the US.
There is a pretty cool looking 250 super motard on the US kawi site also.

Wow, great bike for a great price.
I've decided after I ride my gs for a year or so, I want either an f4i or this bike.
This would have cheaper insurance and better mpg :cheers:
Ooo, the ER6n looks sweet!
that's a nice looking bike. Wonder if they will have additional colors...blue isn't too bad tho
I saw a pic of a white one... probably Euro market though.
I hope the market increases on standard (naked) bikes, I hate the way crusiers ride and I really don't want a supersport.
I'm SOOO glad I didn't go out and by a Versys or a 650R!!!! This thing is sweet looking, like the Z1000's little brother! :bowdown:

exactly what i thought
More pics can be found here (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-kawasaki-er6n).
OOPS! Actually just found out that these are the same as those on the Kawasaki site.
Meh me likey, but ill gt an xb9s or the like first
what do you guys think about the er6n vs the sv650? Not just in a race but which you like better/ think is a better bike.
Hey guys, the ZR1000s little brother is actually the ZR750. I went looking for one but got cheap and got a 2001 ZR7s. Its an old ninja 750 with a half fairing. And I'm actually a little disappointed with it......Sick of carbueration!!!! Can't leave that thing sitting still for 5 days without having a rough time starting it and backfire and spitting.
Which is exactly why I love the new 650 so much and even better the naked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUEL INJECTION!!!!
My Honda can sit for a month and I have no probs when starting it and it's a carb.
At first I thought it was gas varnishing. Over winter tore it apart cleaned carbs, synched them, and it started doing that again 2 months into the riding season. Got to the point where I need to add fuel stabilizer and cleaner with every tank.
Not to steal the thread though cause I do really want one of those bikes. I was looking at the versys too, but don't know why it costs 2k more?
I do enjoy the looks of that bike! It kind of reminds me of a hornet or a yellow jacket; just an angry insect with a stinger. The under-frame exhaust, naked look... LUST! :thumb:
jchc...the SV is a better bike. In all categories. Won't stay that long and, in many, the SV doesn't have that strong a lead, but as thigs sit the SV has the upper hand.
i would never buy a buell i might as well kiss the ass of every hog rider out there....no way....lol
Retired hog rider here :kiss3:
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
