MOTORCYCLE

Some riders like a fully faired sportbike, some don. But nearly all riders agree Kawasaki Ninja?650R is a great, fun-to-ride middleweight motorcycle. The ER-6n simply leaves a little more of that torquey, rev-happy 650 twin innovative inner beauty out where you can see it, revealing this soulful machine mechanical purity of purpose. The ER-6n gets a vestigial flyscreen around its headlight / instrument pod, but for the most part the fairing of this aked?style bike has gone bye-bye. This one for riders who love the feel of being in the wind ?a particularly good thing if you mostly ride where the weather hot. Otherwise, the ER-6n packs all the hardware and handling that made it and its Ninja 650R brother such media darlings. And did we mention deleting the fairing also brings the price down substantially?
