Conclusion - what gets stuck
The Kawasaki ER-6N is a motorcycle that is above average often bought as the first bike ever, including many women. In short, they are doing nothing wrong. The Kawa does not present any problems (at least with the serial exhaust) and makes the acclimatization easy. If you just want to do a lap every now and then, if you can't or don't want to spend 20,000 euros on a motorcycle, if you're on the road without a technical frill - folks, this is your motorcycle. No one needs more. And you saved a lot of money, too.Once to the trader and good is forever - life can be so simple.
