In October 2008, Kawasaki started selling big bikes in Thailand. Does anyone have feedback, good or bad, on any of these machines? I'm particularly interested in the Ninja 250 and the ER6n. I'm told that this coming October Kawasaki will be introducing the ER6f with ABS for not more than 280,000 baht - sounds good! |

Kawasaki Thailand also sells the Kawasaki D-Tracker 250 and Kawasaki KLX250R, both good motorcycles. |

I was told that Kawasaki had underestimated the demand for the big bikes in Thailand. You need to understand that a Kawasaki ER6N hold much better value then a 600cc Honda bike. The Kawasaki is sold by a network of official distributors, with no zig-zag in the paper work, Honda and Suzuki have still not made the big bike intentions public. And all Honda's and Suzuki's are sold by grey market of dealers and importers who not shy to skip some regulations to get more profit. |

The Kawasaki ER6N is a good quality bike, made in Thailand and exported around the world. In Thailand it is hard to compare the Kawasaki against competitors, true Yamaha also sells 600cc motorcycles in Thailand. And to be honest the Yamaha FZ6 is the better bike if we compare them. |

To my idea the ER6N is a funky looking parallel twin roadster from Kawasaki. Light controls, easy-going 72 horses, 649cc engine and forgiving chassis make it ideal for the learners, but it can cope with more experienced riders too. |

In brief, I really enjoy my ER-6n. It's a little tiring at speed due to the lack of wind protection, and if you want to take it for a blast round the track, it's not as smooth to gently control the throttle through the corners, but its great to ride in town and for a longer trip is fine if you take a few breaks. Handling is great, comes with good tyres and its a good comfortable riding position. It's an all-rounder and at the price you can't really ask for a lot more from it. Styling is striking and even now still gets a lot of attention at the lights. It's a bit thirsty in town but you can get around 250km on a tank with sensible out of town riding. And it takes 91 gasohol so there won't be a future problem with filling the tank. Should you wait for an ER-6f...I have never ridden a bike with ABS. I think the looks of the naked bike are more striking. In a few words I'm very happy with mine. The Ninja 250 is also very sweet but would lack the guts for any distance. Both are top rate though. |
