There isn't an ER-7 as far as I know.
There's an ER-6. Or a ZR-7. Or even an ER-5. Do you mean one of those?
From the year, I'm guessing you mean an ER-5, like this? - https://bikez.com/motorcycles/kawasaki_er-5_1997.php
In which case I haven't owned one, but they're a parallel twin commuter. I get the impression they're not the most exciting or dynamic bike in the world, but a decent first big bike if you've just passed your test. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

After a break from biking for a few years bought an ER5 back in 2004.
Used her for commuting and general riding for about 5 years.
As already been said, was a good solid bike.
Not overly exciting but did what she was supposed to and was reliable.
Should be fine as a first big bike ____________________ Current Bikes: 2006 Suzuki Bandit 1200, 2008 Suzuki SV650N.

I always liked the ER5 and I passed my test on an ER6 and loved both of them But I purchased a 1997 YZF600R because it was something I always wanted when I first saw one many moons ago.
In fact I still have a YZF600R, 50.000 miles and still going strong.
Buy the bike that you like and want and don't listen to anyone else as they are not the ones riding and or fixing it ____________________ Signature removed by popular demand... |

Sorry, don't know what I was thinking. Yes - I meant the ER-5.
I'm fine with it not being the most exciting thing in the world. Personally, I think that "boring" is subjective and varies from person to person. |
