SPORTIER PERFORMANCE PLUS NEW NINJA LOOKS.

Building on the key values of its highly acclaimed predecessor, the new ER-6f continues to offer a package that is both fun and easy to ride, and matches its sporty street performance with aggressive new Ninja supersport styling.

The balance of compact size and good power offered by the ER-6f’s predecessor was the key to its success.  To fit into its trim package, an in-line four would have been too wide and a V-Twin too long.  The only engine design that offered both good power characteristics and the requisite compactness was a Parallel Twin.  While maintaining this balance, the new engine gets a number of tweaks that offer smoother low-mid response and a quicker-revving character.

LIGHT HANDLING CHASSIS

The key to the ER-6f’s compact size is its amazingly compact Parallel Twin engine, which permits the use of a narrow, lightweight frame.  The result is a bike with the dimensions of a 400 and the power of a 650 that welcomes beginners with a “Come on, let’s go for a ride!” attitude, while also offering plenty of performance for more experienced riders.  Changes to the frame, swinging arm and suspension result in reduced vibration and lighter handling, making the new ER-6f more accessible than ever.

SLEEK, SUPERSPORT STYLING

Styling inspired by our Ninja supersport models gives the front fairing of the ER-6f the look of a modern supersport machine.  Sharp edged lines move forward, giving the bike a more aggressive, crouching appearance.  Simple in design, the ER-6f avoids all superfluous design flourishes; lines were made to flow as long as possible.  The new, taller fuel tank, minimalist-design bodywork and sharp tail cowl give the bike a compact, purposeful appearance.  Attention to the smallest detail contributes to the new bike’s high-quality finish and undoubted appeal.
