Kawasaki ER-6 Spy Shot, 2006

 

650cc parallel twin engine and wavy front brake discs.

All-new parallel twin engine and has been design to give ‘the size and feel of a 400 with the power of a 650’. The engine has been made very small in order to allow the bike to have a short wheelbase to improve the handling while the exhaust under the engine lowers the centre of gravity. The shorter chassis of the Swingarm can be made longer which also helps to improve the handling.
