All Tests - The new Green is ripe! - The ER-6f gives itself the means of its claims!

If the old model was unfairly served by a shy stroke of the pencil, the new 2009 Kawasaki ER-6f takes full advantage of its improvements to gain in charisma. And now, the Green is as attractive as it is effective! Test.

The ER-6f gives itself the means of its claims !

Intended for a more mature clientele, hesitating between a "big GT" (comfortable but heavier and more expensive) and a roadster (admittedly playful, but ultimately impractical on a daily basis), the ER-6f does not actually have all the features. strengths to make its way into the long haul segment. But that is not its objective: at € 6,599 (€ 7,199 with ABS), the Kawa offers a real economical alternative to the undecided, who will appreciate being able to ride relaxed with a (good) hint of protection..

Rather "roadster-road", the ER-6f then turns out to be as endearing as it is versatile, well helped in this by its engine which is as usable as it is pleasant to use. Sober (5.5 l / 100 km in mixed driving), accommodating (the twin resumes almost at all speeds) and efficient, the latest Kawasaki workshop has really taken advantage of its re-styling to generously raise its ambitions. Its new design and its much more neat finish do not go unnoticed and could end up convincing a clientele a priori shy on this kind of markets..

More than ever, the Kawasaki ER-6f can shamelessly display its qualities in the face of its competitors, such as the placid Honda CBF 600 S (€ 6,990 with ABS, read our), the new Yamaha Diversion XJ6 S (6,549 € and € 6,949 with ABS), the economical Suzuki Bandit 650 S (€ 5,749 and € 6,249 with ABS), or even the distinguished BMW F 800 ST (€ 9,920, read our).
