I’ve bought my first big bike in the form of a 2002 Kawasaki ER5! Problems with the bike almost immediately, however, means I haven’t actually ridden it properly yet. Until now...

This video convinced me to buy an ER 5. I am not disappointed with the power AT ALL! Subscribed.

@MillerCorner 3 года назад

Cheers bud, congrats on your bike! 😁

@rafab2774 3 года назад

Best choice. I have ER5 2 years now ,not getting bored.

@kkklll694 3 года назад

Is there something wrong on mine... Feels so fucking slow😂 im only ridden 125cc bikes and today rode my er - 5 the first time and damn it feels slow😂

@THEGEEK2001 2 года назад

Restricted? 33hp?

@thomascharnock 3 года назад

Recently downsized from a CB1100 to an ER-5 and I'm not disappointed. It's obviously a smaller, less powerful bike but it's just so light and manoeuvrable. Great bike.

@profblack 3 года назад

I’ve been riding one of these for my A2 course. Lovely bike. Since speed limits have been neutered all over the country I’ve spent 99% of the time at 30 or below so when I finally got onto a 40 I could just hear the bike telling me “I’ve been waiting all day for this” and immediately delivering the power that I need.

@clareteverywhere8020 3 года назад

I love your reaction to the bike's grunt! I learned to ride on an ER5 and I remember that feeling the first time I opened the throttle on a dual carriageway having only ridden 125s, I had a massive grin plastered across my face. 'First big bike' it may be, but as you've discovered, even slow bikes are fast and that old 500 twin is a torquey little motor. Hope you're still enjoying it!

@rampage3337 2 года назад

yeah i got my 250cc orion motard that makes like 17hp and even that feelt fast when i was riding it home. slow AF now and annoying but man was the first few rides fun

@PaulinhoThompson 4 года назад

Another great video, and it's a pleasure to see you enjoying your first real bike.

@janettemohan7739 4 года назад

A half-decent ER-5 can be picked up for a song at the moment (March 2020). They're solid and capable. Every home should have one, even if it's only as a bargain-basement second bike. Pleased you're enjoying yourself, M.C..

@binauppal876 2 года назад

Got me one today,£1495,13,000 miles,2006 model,more than enough oomph for normal roads,coming from a 125 ,this will give me loads of smiles for the money👍😁

@oceano271 Год назад

I watched this before buying a ER5! She needs some tlc from being neglected from previous owners but she's mine to take care of now! Happy with my purchase

@samuelhashim-jones8247 2 месяца назад

I’m 17 and about to buy my first motorbike which happens to be a er-5. It’s only $1500 which is cheap for a bike but man I’m gonna have a ball on it. Glad to hear it’s a enjoyable bike to ride

Brilliant honest review 👏

@philclarke7712 3 года назад

This made me chuckle. It's all relative. So much more to come! I had to learn how to ride again when I traded my ER for a new SV1000s. So many bikes ago...😢

@Ian-ev5tg 2 года назад

I love how excited you got. That forst time on anything other than a 125 is so awesome. Wait till you get on a 600

@eiebsrebla Год назад

I started my first lesson on a 125, about halfway through my instructor said 'Seems like you've got the hang of it, I think we'll upscale a bit' and promptly put me on a 650. I was in shock. Idk how it works where you are but (I'm in the Netherlands) I'm getting my A license, but because I'm not yet 24 I'll get code 80 so it'll basically be an A2 until I turn 24. I'm looking for a good bike for an A2 license, would you recommend this?

@EpicAdamMotovlogs 3 года назад

I've ridden the Ducati Monster, zx6r, Suzuki Bandit 600N & the bike that surprised me the most was the ER500. It was more poky than I expected.

@barnbersonol Год назад

I've gone from an 90 bhp fz6 to an er5 and you're right. Between 5 and 7 grand the 500 twins concede nothing to 600 fours.

@martinmanifold2241 3 года назад

Its a great cumfy mid bike , stick a little handle bar fairing and top box on it and go touring . Kawasaki made a battery fatal error on earlier models by putting the voltage regulator on the very bottom of the bike ,open to all the road crud .....mine went on a trip up to the lakes and it slowly boiled the battery till the bike broke down a fried the electrics . .the later models have it relocated more sensibly

@BoshoRhadoo 3 года назад

Is it suitable for a 1.83 m beginner?

@barnbersonol Год назад

Er5s go like a bullet up to 70-80 yet the bike press have always taken the piss out them. I never understood that.

My first bike was suzuki gs 500 then i got Kawasaki 600 110Hp and now im back in 500cc kawasaki er it is the most fun bike i have ever drive. Espesially in cornering forest roads with new tires and stiffer oil in front shocks..

@rafab2774 3 года назад

I've tried another bikes but I stay by my ER5 too. 50HP 2 Cylinders is not eqal to 100HP 4 Cylinders. What I mean ER5 is more agressive ar low revs what makes endless fun.

@paulkelly5817 3 года назад

Rode one of these today on my first bike lesson. Instructor said they're a lot more tame than the SV650 I'll be on for my next lesson. Felt like plenty of power in the Kawasaki though!

@Decrepit_biker 3 года назад

I went from a 125 to a gpz500, which is very similar but just a little more peppy ( its about 10 hp up but its mostly over 7k where it goes.... pretty well) felt like a ROCKET compared to the 125.... brakes let it down until I converted it to twin discs, zzr600 master and added er500 caliper for the other side
