owned this bike for 5 years now. for 60-70 mio its a no brainer to buy this bike instead of the overpriced 250 bike. although like you said finding the good one and well maintained is kinda difficult right now. but for touring bike i prefer my xmax 😁
Just got mine about a week ago. Cant complain much over the 795. Got the right point there mate. Mine was about the heat that comes off the underbelly exhaust. Got 1st degree burn on my tighs going thru the traffic. Crazy. Er6n is much more make sense since it has a radiator. Enough power also to ride in jkt and about. So far no complaint. Hehehe.
I just sold it and came back on a Hunter Maverick 500cc, for adventure riding, I miss it already, it was an amazing motorcycle, enjoy yours the fullest
@@Buledoyanmotor wow, will wait for the review on hunter. Kinda curious about the newcomer cf moto everyone been talking about also. The 800s been having a lot of + reviews. If only they cut the luxury taxes and everything, maybe motorcycle scene will be more diverse. Haha. I used to live in kerobokan for couple years actually. Wandering about in a yamaha supermoto. Met a lot of adv enthusiasts back there. Been missing it since i moved to jkt. It really was some memorable adventures. Hope you enjoy your time in bali as well. Ride safe!
@@Buledoyanmotor Oh I can't disagree with that. Them Italians have got a sense for style for sure (and some of their engines sound absolutely amazing as well) !
It can be a first bike for learning, it is a school bike in Europe, learning on a 250cc would be preferable as you can open full throttle without scaring yourself, the 650cc can be a bit tricky, 72 horse power requires some control compares to 24-40 hp you can find on 250cc or 300cc bike. But if you can control yourself, it is a great bike to ride.
your video was quite informative. I'm also situated in Bali & my Tiger 2000 is nearing the end of its lifespan so im trying to find what I want next. The er6n/f looks like a great bike. massively better performance for the same price as a new 250, are there any common issues i should look for when inspecting a used er6?
Hi, mine is now for sale lol, if you are interested, you can find it on Marketplace Facebook, you have to look at the Mechanical seal leak, I had to change it on mine in May, the ABS version is very rare to find, and the most difficult is to find one that was maintained properly, I had to spend more than 10 millions Rupiah on mine to fix what was not maintained, new front master brake, new proper brakes pads, new sparkplugs, new air and oil filter, injectors cleaning, proper mirrors, proper oil for the tropics Ipone 15w50 synthetic, change of brake fluid and water coolant.
Interesting info. Did you manage to find a reliable garage / mechanic that actually do the job properly / take care when working on your bike?@@Buledoyanmotor
It's a great powerful bike, affordable and reliable indeed, but need attention to mechanical seal, a well knowned weakness on this model, I ride a Chinese made motorcycle now, and I don't have more issues 😀 than I should have on any motorcycle
Hello sir! I'm getting my first bike next week. Found a used 2016 er6n with abs for $4.3k. Is it a good price? Or do you suggest something else. Thank you 😊
@@Buledoyanmotor haha didn't expect a quick answer. Price is in us dollars. I'm in Beirut, Lebanon. A brand new 2023 duke 390 costs 5,000 for reference if that helps. And a 2019 duke 390 is 3,500 approximately
do you think it's a good bike for a long touring run? with that amount of money you can have either kawasaki versys 250 or other 1 silinder adv bike, but definitely 650 is very compelling, extremely with the pricepoint. or maybe I should be patient and get 2x the price versys 650 or Hunter maverick instead 🤣
It is a good touring bike, as long as you stay on asphalt, or could do a bit of dirt road with Pirelli MT60 tires, scrambler style. I had a Versys 250 and was very happy with it, sold it in 2020 before getting my first Maverick 500. I didn't wanted to take another Versys 250, the power and Torque is really missing on it, at least on the ER6N I truly enjoy the 650cc and its power and Torque. I almost took a Honda CRF 250 Rally second hand, but they are overpriced, these bikes were sold 62 millions IDR in 2017 and now people ask 85 millions for second hands with 40.000 km on the odo (nonsense), better get one brand new at that price point, but no availability. I'm very curious about the new Suzuki Vstrom 250 single cylinder as well, I need to try it for sure. I will enjoy this Kawasaki ER6N for a while and see what will happen in a couple of months.
@@Buledoyanmotor coming from MT25, definitely versys 250 feels kinda missing the torque as you said. I love the look and dual purpose uses of it though engine was meh. Well, thanks for your thoughts 🔥
@Tubs-td1yq well, the naked ER6N is very fun to ride and more sexy in my point of view, the ER6F offers the same riding position but more wind protection, I personally prefer the naked version
