Success stick image as a premium brand in the market for motorcycles, PT Kawasaki Motor Indonesia (KMI) is ready to enter two new models of ER-6N and the Ninja 650R in current year 2012.

Let’s be honest, there weren’t many complaints about the old model Kawasaki ER6n. It was a competitively-priced ‘funky looking’ middleweight naked roadster aimed at newcomers.

Actually, it was aimed at everyone old, young, newcomers, experienced riders, men, women, Martians, you name it, Kawasaki reckon the ER6n had it covered.

The flexible engine plays a part in the ER-6n’s friendly nature, too, always seeming to have enough grunts on tap to deliver a useful burst of acceleration.
