Hmmm, Kawasaki recently launced a new bike for the masses.

The ER-6.

Looks like it'll scare quite alot of kids too.

Also announced was the new ZZR1300.

I guess yamaha pulled off the brutale clone with the naked FZ6, now i guess kawasaki were trying to emulate another naked italian exotic, and to a certain degree it does look stylish. A parallel twin in a basic chassis, it reeks of good cheap frills. I'm also feeling the exhaust has a hint of buell lightning to it? As well as that, any details on the engine, i.e. is it a mock v-twin with a 270 degree firing order? I still think it's going to sell loads, if not here, maybe in europe where style consciousness is evident in their demands of naked bikes.

Think it looks a bit like a Benelli TNT personally, love the styling but I think they lost the point of why they had ER-5!

Think we need more 500cc communters with some style personally Smile

I should imagine it will sound nice, given the exhaust on it. I think it looks the tits.

Im not so sure myself. From the sounds of things, the reason it looks sweet and costs peanuts is because its all cheap material painted to look shiny and expensive. Mutton dressed as lamb imo Neutral
