omnipotent 961. I have been using it for more than a year now. The rear brakes lack the bite but the front drops the anchor well. Z650 will soon replace ER6N. If you can wait you might be able to get similar bike with ABS 😉
Hello guys... got the ER6N in November.. infact the dealer said mine was the 1st reg in Mumbai.. really njoying riding it since then... already clocked more than 2.5k kms... never felt short of power... infact ride neck to neck with the 1000cc's until 160kmph on the weekend rides... thanks to amazing low n mid range torque.. very very easy to ride in city unlike the ER6F... n surely is a duke killer on the Highway... Turn heads where ever it goes... cudn't ask for more... ABS cud had been a blessing but still worth a buy
capriguy12 All praises and salutes for the ER-6n! Congratulations on your babe! Recent reports say that ABS will be mandatory in the bikes to comes. Will it also come as an aftermarket accessory? Only time will tell.
You guys do such an awesome work by making fantabulous videos... but why do you still have 70k subscribers??I mean this channel should have like a million subscribers..seriously!!
yes the front can slip easily, but the bike can be put under control if skilled and wait, when out of control. if you have this bike make sure you have front tyres with good grip
I've put a deposit down on one of these today, and am glad it's not just me who noticed the distance between the foot peg and gear lever is 1/2" further than other bikes so feels like your toes are lifting the lever and not the top of your foot. The gear change feels also like it has a longer throw than other bikes.
Thank you @powerdrift for making your review videos.. Its after watching this that I booked the baby and am I glad to tell you that Iam having the ride of my life on this machine. However Iam surprised that there are not many of these on the roads yet. What are you waiting for people??
I really love your videos and the reviews are really amazing with latest and greatest automotive products been covered brilliant job :). I just have one thing to say all your videos are way way to flashy with loads of visual effects, transition etc at every frame of the other. Its a brilliant editing job but its too distracting as you start focusing on a frame and all of a sudden there is a transition effect or frame changes its a bit distracting as I more interested in the product rather than the cool transitions & effects. Just a view from your viewer thats what I feel none the less this is the best channel to keep up to date along with really awesome reviews :) thanks.
True that with all the effects and audio that compliments it, but too much of effects don't entertain rather distract's and becomes annoyance to the user's viewing experience. It's an opinion as overdoing something may kill the little things. Anyways, its my opinion and I don't expect you guys to change everything :) and I am glad that you guys have viewed and responded :) thanks.
Agreed, most every new street bike should come standard with ABS. I'd certainly consider this as a distance bike. I much prefer the lower power NC700X Honda as a cross tourer. The 270 degree crank just has a much nicer sound :)
Dear Powerdrift lots of questions raise in my mind while riding , is not the point ,point is every individual in India needs a chief riding officer to explain how we can ride on normal roads , like a guidance to every armature here maybe a series or a video explaining may work out . its a suggestion or humble request , to make safe riding back home to place called home. Next time he or she hops on to ride remembers what need to done or what need to be kept in mind . thanks & Regards PD army forever
PowerDrift Awesome work guys :) Loved it I have been waiting for the KTM RC390 Road test and full review.. also looking forward to an 200-400 CC Bike comparision ..
the video was awesome.... just one question... since no ABS is provided for the bike... how much will it cost to put one after you own the bike... or is it advisable to wait untill the ABS version is introduced....
For the power in the bike are the brakes of ER-6N sufficient enough to stop the bike under sudden braking. You have tested the bike on the track...how was the braking? I understand the bike has good power delivery but does the brakes compliment such power.
PowerDrift I haven´t done any research on it yet, I´m more interested in naked bikes and I only have the European A2 license which only enables me to ride bikes up to 48 bhp :) Usually they can be limited but I gotta know what the specs are first ...
+powerdrift what would you recommend this the duke 690 or a street triple r im stuck between these what i want is wheelies and accceleration mostly and a speed of above 200 would be nice
hey you guys should totally start reviewing all aspects of motorsports as in the newly launched gears riding jackets gloves helmets shoes, give safety riding tips cornering tips new music systems n accessories launched for cars etc..
PowerDrift Guys, I'm looking for a fun tourer, willing to corner + go the distance. I do not like the duke 390 exhaust and small tank, the ninja 300 seems not vfm. So considering the er6n too. What would be your suggestion? Budget is not a constraint (upto 6lacs) but I do not like the new colour scheme of the Ninja 650 + feel if I drop the bike I would have more issues to deal with. Can I also consider the Benelli 600? Worried about the weight and low end torque. Damn man, buying a bike shouldnt be this tough!! :(
Sriramachandran T M Well, the bike that you are not considering is the bike you might want to consider. A simple plug in of the frame sliders and you are good to go! The Benelli GT is a heavy and a tall bike! But it is also an inline four! ;)
Sushonfire b Unfortunately the bikes which we can afford and of great quality are not been launched in India....eg. ktm Duke 125, Honda CBR 250rr, and Honda CB 150r exmotion.....very disappointing
Keep up the good work, your reviews are just awesome, full of emotion, sometimes it seems that we, the audience, are right there with you testing the bike!!! Great job!!! P.S.: I have a ZX6R 2014...and let me tell you...taking aside the fact that the front forks are just a tinny bit for the soft side (easy to fix with adjustments) the bike is awesome!!!!
PowerDrift , Great first ride. Waiting for a comprehensive review ! Please cover riding ergos .. and shoulder position and shoulder load in the next review. Would't want an already bad shoulder to get worse .. ;) Fuel consumption figures , and short overtaking possibility too ..
The ER-6n is replaced by the Z650. You can find out more about it here - ruclips.net/video/yozzRBaVpIY/видео.html and about the TNT 600i here - ruclips.net/video/4z7eKDh0EaU/видео.html
Excellent review as always SGT. Big thumbs up to Kawasaki for bringing such bikes in our country. I hope Yamaha to wake up and at least bring the MT-07 here :)
Although the absence of ABS is conspicuous still its a good bike...... Really nice review guys..... This video was quite on the editing front..... Thumbs up for that....
I had a dream of ninja 650 nd now it has turned into versys 650 being costly its a fully loaded weapon then the other Kawasaki 650 cc bikes or is it having any other 650 cc leaving this 3 ???
+Jasper Song EVERY bike is suitable for new riders, as long as that new driver knows what he's doing my pals drove 125cc bikes like madmen, while I drove my 600cc triumph supersport using my brains I never had an incident, while 2 of them totalled their little bikes just saying... these ER6N's have only about 75hp, that's not THAT much and they have some torque but even 400cc bikes have more than power enough to bring you into trouble
Hey there comrade, what type of riding are you looking at? For track riding, there are faired bikes, for touring, there are tourers and cruisers, and for urban riding, there are naked bikes.
What a Review ! Loved it ... But I have some questions. If the Ergos Are same as of the 650 , is it still a great tourer ?? Considering the fairing is gone ,the windblast will develop strain on the rider but except that fact , are the ergo's and the combination of a Short handle bar still make it a tourer ?? 'coz if this happens then Its the Best combination on a bike . A bike which is good for touring as well as to scrape some Knee on the track ! Once again Amazing review guys.. P.S. Plz test this thing at lavasa !
"Wind Blast" man, knock it off.. that is a new term that motorcycle writers invented to sell motorcycles by bashing nakeds to get them to buy super sports. I fly down the road at 130mph on a XB9S... its like a BMX bicycle with a 1000cc motor in it.. "wind blast".. I have never heard of it.
vidurc If I am going to tour I will be on a cruiser.. little high performance bikes were not designed for that type of endurance. You can do it but why put yourself through that? No single bike is good at everything.. that is why you want at least two of them.
Nobody's arguing that. It just comes with the territory. If someone complains about wind while riding a monster bike that's part of the experience. You either like it or you don't. Personally I ride a supersport and its an absolute pain to tour on but I love it. I'm not going to complain about pain since that's not what its built for.
Hey ....guys ...ur bike reviews are amazing i can watch it all day long ☺☺ just have quick question ......how good is this bike with weekend long rides ....and seating comfort
girish girish kumar Thank you buddy! The bike is the same as the N650 but without the front panels. Due to this the body will take a lot of wind stress on the highways. If you are looking for a street assault, look no further but if you are looking for highway runs, then the N650 should be added to your cart.
Hello there PD, really love your reviews. They are unbiased and I appreciate the hard work you guys put into making these videos. Would love to see the review of the new Hyosung GT650R (The upgraded version), appreciate it. Ride Safe. 👍
absence of abs is deal breaker for me, especially at this price point. The absence of abs is even more glaring when u have a bike like d390 which is sold at a mouth watering price and still offers a superb abs !! if it was in my control i would have definitely standardized abs on pretty much all 2 wheelers thanks to our awesome road conditions, yes the increased cost would pinch abit but then it'd prove to be life saver.
ABS is a lifesaver for anyone not practicing threshold braking. Personally if I rode a purely track oriented machine it would be annoying to have ABS since it takes away from my ability to control the machine. On the street it's great but still takes away from rider skill.
vidurc yep threshold braking is usefull but only on a track where u have prefect road conditions. threshold braking involves knowing the limits of ur machine but the limitations of a machine varies with the road conditions and here we got all sorts of nasty stuff like sand, debris, water which spoil the traction. (and i don't know alot of ppl who practice braking on the kind of stuff i mentioned let alone on fresh tarmac). plus when we find ourselves in nasty situation , we tend to panic which leads to panic braking and implementing threshold braking while panicking is easier said than done. so when it comes to lifesaving abs is still better than threshold braking.
gunjit singh Not only on a track. What is the definition of threshold braking? The technique involves the driver controlling the brake pedal (or lever) pressure to maximize the braking force developed by the tires. Over any low traction situations it is a combination of threshold braking and engine braking to give you control. What do you think ABS does? It reduces or cancels out braking pressure to prevent lock. Which means that you are no longer braking when ABS is in effect. I have to drive on ice here every winter. ABS is great at preventing lock and I use it as a gauge to figure out how hard I need to brake without locking the wheels and engaging the system. However the people that use ABS often typically stay on the brakes assuming ABS is going to sort everything out. Call it life saving but the fact is all it creates now is a dependence on the technology. Plenty of crap riders and driver out there who slam their brakes and assume the electronics will take care of it. That is the problem. On ice ABS will stay engaged the entire time until your tires gain traction. The tires are the most important factor in the entire equation. People here blame ABS, Traction control, stability control and more for their stupidity.
Hi PD. Nice Crisp Review of the ER there! Would be great if you would do a comparo between the BN600i and ERn6. Please do let us know if you are planning such a review. Will be good fun to watch two great bikes pitted against each other. Thanks.
Hey, I am a avid fans of PowerDrift videos and a subscriber. I would like to know which biking suit do you use and if you could do a review of the best and value for money racing suit or just the jacket. Cheers and keep up the awesome work!!
SANTY's DESK The 821 is a tall order as we do not have that in India as of yet! Akash has gone bonkers after seeing this comment & now is taking us for a treat! :P
the devil of Kawasaki is excellent for riders and it is smooth in turns the suspense is good and stable in quick turns it will be a good bike in budget for teenagers and for all sports biker and acceleration is so fast but this bike can take u much closer to god if u don't know about this bike !!!! nice work #PowerDrift excellent reviews with awesome bike
Guys i was considering buying this model , but the rumours are that kawasaki might come up with an updated er6n having ABS and stuff . My question was whether i should wait for the newer model or go ahead and buy this model and will the updated model cost more as i have a low budget and this seems to be the perfect bike in my budget . Please Reply ty.
+Kartik Bangera There are global updates due on this model alright, but that would mean a wait for another 2-3 months. Are you ok with that kind of wait?
Im thinking ill wait until jan 2016 , as until then all the international updates would be launched and we might have an idea as to what might and might not come to india . Plus there are rumours of the zx6r and 800cc triumph street triple on the way . *fingers crossed * . Its really helpful to all of us who have no contacts with experienced bikers , to have groups like powerdrift on the internet to advise and guide us . Thanks a ton to all powerdrift member . Really thank you :)
Amazing review as always :) I'm actually thinking to purchase a bike around 5-6lakhs range and now I'm confused between kawasaki ninja 650, kawasaki er-6n or harley davidson street. Which would u suggest?
mahesh lalchandani Classic case that every biker goes through! What it will eventually come down to is your motive of riding a motorcycle. Touring, everyday riding or cruising all day long!
Hey guys, when will the full review be out? Also r u gonna do a comparo with the hyosung gt650n? I'm actually considering my next bike, currently riding a p220, budget is tight, I'm looking for a fun tourer, between the duke 390, ninja 300, gt650n and er6n which one would you choose?
Sriramachandran TM What budget are you targeting? If it is around 2 lacs then the Duke 390 should satiate your appetite but if torque is what you are looking at with an extended budget then the N650 should be a good option. The ER-6n being a naked will have a wind blast issue on the highway!
How about powerdrift start giving out bikes as part of their promotions? I will sleep outside their offices to participate ! : p riding a Thunderbird 500 (India)
You guys make amazing videos. Just reduce the music volume a bit so we can hear the person speak more easily.
Watching this in 2019 and it doesn't even feel like its a video about 5 years old. The same PowerDrift level quality attribute. 🔥
Still waiting for the Street review of this beast.... Please guys, even a short review would be helpful.
Akash Sharma Sigh! We await the ER-6n for a road test.
omnipotent 961. I have been using it for more than a year now. The rear brakes lack the bite but the front drops the anchor well. Z650 will soon replace ER6N. If you can wait you might be able to get similar bike with ABS 😉
Brilliant. Seems like you guys worked really hard this weekend testing the kawasaki babies.
Rahul Kumar Worked Really Hard! When we have such amazing machines on our hands, those three words don't make sense at all. :P
Hello guys... got the ER6N in November.. infact the dealer said mine was the 1st reg in Mumbai.. really njoying riding it since then... already clocked more than 2.5k kms... never felt short of power... infact ride neck to neck with the 1000cc's until 160kmph on the weekend rides... thanks to amazing low n mid range torque.. very very easy to ride in city unlike the ER6F... n surely is a duke killer on the Highway...

You guys do such an awesome work by making fantabulous videos... but why do you still have 70k subscribers??I mean this channel should have like a million subscribers..seriously!!
Your bike reviews have just reached a superlative level. Amazing. Can't say the same for your car reviews. ;)
Anupam Potdar Hehehehe thanks Anupam. We shall try & balance out these two genres.
Just one question.
Did the bike skid at one of the corners?
Cuz the last 5 sec shows something similar.
Mehul Agrawal Sergeant tried to go the Vin Diesel way. :P
Ol ri8 😂
Vin Diesel be the daddy of drifting 😆😊
bro you give best and honest reviews thanks a lot planning to buy one.
yes the front can slip easily, but the bike can be put under control if skilled and wait, when out of control. if you have this bike make sure you have front tyres with good grip
I've put a deposit down on one of these today, and am glad it's not just me who noticed the distance between the foot peg and gear lever is 1/2" further than other bikes so feels like your toes are lifting the lever and not the top of your foot. The gear change feels also like it has a longer throw than other bikes.
I have an ER-6n since July and it came with ABS. So at least in Europe it's definitely available.
Krisztián Márton-Illés Yes in Europe it is but India does not get that sphere. :(
what is this track and where is it?
I bought a 2014 with ABS.Added a Dynojet Power Commander and a ixll Hyper flow exhaust.I goes like stink and sounds magnifcent.
what country r u from bro ????
what kind of music you use 0:59?
thank you .. and.. is that stock tire ?
I don't know anything about bikes, but I love these videos ;D
***** Hahahaha! You deserve a place in the PowerDrift Hall Of Fame! :D
PowerDrift *Takes a bow*
Well, your videography and background scores have earned you a big fan! ;)
Any news on the ABS front for ER6n......!!!?????
what happend at the end of video?? power slide?? U ok?? the bike ok??
in love with this bike😍😍
Whats the background score, at the end?
Thank you @powerdrift for making your review videos.. Its after watching this that I booked the baby and am I glad to tell you that Iam having the ride of my life on this machine. However Iam surprised that there are not many of these on the roads yet. What are you waiting for people??
Sudhanshu Khare We are glad to know that you are having fun. The price might be a little pinchy for people and hence the surprise of not seeing it.
I really love your videos and the reviews are really amazing with latest and greatest automotive products been covered brilliant job :). I just have one thing to say all your videos are way way to flashy with loads of visual effects, transition etc at every frame of the other. Its a brilliant editing job but its too distracting as you start focusing on a frame and all of a sudden there is a transition effect or frame changes its a bit distracting as I more interested in the product rather than the cool transitions & effects. Just a view from your viewer thats what I feel none the less this is the best channel to keep up to date along with really awesome reviews :) thanks.
Swastik Sunki Who wants a drab and a boring visual? That is when entertainment comes into picture and hence the effects. :)
True that with all the effects and audio that compliments it, but too much of effects don't entertain rather distract's and becomes annoyance to the user's viewing experience. It's an opinion as overdoing something may kill the little things. Anyways, its my opinion and I don't expect you guys to change everything :) and I am glad that you guys have viewed and responded :) thanks.
any update guyz about the abs version
Agreed, most every new street bike should come standard with ABS. I'd certainly consider this as a distance bike. I much prefer the lower power NC700X Honda as a cross tourer. The 270 degree crank just has a much nicer sound :)
does anyone know what is the background music?
amazing video!
Superb guyzz Keep going......
akhil dev Thank you Akhil. :)
Dear Powerdrift
lots of questions raise in my mind while riding , is not the point ,point is every individual in India needs a chief riding officer to explain how we can ride on normal roads , like a guidance to every armature here maybe a series or a video explaining may work out . its a suggestion or humble request , to make safe riding back home to place called home. Next time he or she hops on to ride remembers what need to done or what need to be kept in mind .
thanks & Regards
PD army forever
PowerDrift Awesome work guys :) Loved it
I have been waiting for the KTM RC390 Road test and full review.. also looking forward to an 200-400 CC Bike comparision ..
Aditya Rao The quarter litre segment is very tight and even we at PowerDrift are highly confused as to which bikes should be compared. :P
Keep calm and believe in sergeant shelly :) :)
Sudhi Damodhar ShellD you mean?
When is the ninja 636 coming to india.any info on that ??
killerme44 Kawasaki has been delivering us great packages one after the other. 2015 should be a good year. :)
Hope to see ninja 636 soon.
the video was awesome.... just one question... since no ABS is provided for the bike... how much will it cost to put one after you own the bike... or is it advisable to wait untill the ABS version is introduced....
Jitendra Supekar Putting an aftermarket ABS kit is a tedious thing & also a lot of manufacturers advise you from doing that!
For the power in the bike are the brakes of ER-6N sufficient enough to stop the bike under sudden braking. You have tested the bike on the track...how was the braking? I understand the bike has good power delivery but does the brakes compliment such power.
Where is next video of ER6n Outside track????? 4:35 said!!!
Sadly it hasn't happened yet. Remember to stay subscribed and you'd know as soon as we post it
Looks very cool, Idk I may have missed it, how many bhp does this have and what´s the top speed?
Iboo30 The engine specs are the same as the Ninja 650. The top whack will be a little less than its fully faired brother because of the aerodynamics.
PowerDrift I haven´t done any research on it yet, I´m more interested in naked bikes and I only have the European A2 license which only enables me to ride bikes up to 48 bhp :)
Usually they can be limited but I gotta know what the specs are first ...
+powerdrift what would you recommend this the duke 690 or a street triple r im stuck between these what i want is wheelies and accceleration mostly and a speed of above 200 would be nice
+genelode Yet to lay our hands on the 690. Meanwhile, we have the Striple review coming up soon :)
PowerDrift awesome well im looking forwards to it i enjoy your reviews :)
hey you guys should totally start reviewing all aspects of motorsports as in the newly launched gears riding jackets gloves helmets shoes, give safety riding tips cornering tips new music systems n accessories launched for cars etc..
Dipesh Patel Umm yea! We get that a lot & we shall get that covered soon in one of our videos.
PowerDrift lookin forward to it...p.s sarge keeps gaining weight after every video...evn he is upgrading from 650cc to 1100cc..:p
Did Sarge broke a sweat there ?
PowerDrift Guys, I'm looking for a fun tourer, willing to corner + go the distance. I do not like the duke 390 exhaust and small tank, the ninja 300 seems not vfm. So considering the er6n too.

pls help me I'm confused between Kawasaki er6n and benelli tnt 600i.which one is better
+Jay Parekh Did you check our review of the tnt 600i as well?
is this bike not launching ??
How many people can afford 600cc bikes in india ?, 😢 our roads are not ready for these and also our pockets..
There's no stopping the enthusiasts, is there ;)
PowerDrift if u can buy swift u can also buy this
INVINCIBLE ONE well said
Sushonfire b Unfortunately the bikes which we can afford and of great quality are not been launched in India....eg. ktm Duke 125, Honda CBR 250rr, and Honda CB 150r exmotion.....very disappointing
Chip in with ya sister
Whats absolute Fury without absolute control!!!!!!
Have you guys tested the current Ninja 636??
Eduardo de Vasconcelos We really want to! But it isn't on sale in India yet!
Keep up the good work, your reviews are just awesome, full of emotion, sometimes it seems that we, the audience, are right there with you testing the bike!!! Great job!!! P.S.: I have a ZX6R 2014...and let me tell you...taking aside the fact that the front forks are just a tinny bit for the soft side (easy to fix with adjustments) the bike is awesome!!!!
PowerDrift , Great first ride.
Waiting for a comprehensive review ! Please cover riding ergos .. and shoulder position and shoulder load in the next review. Would't want an already bad shoulder to get worse .. ;)
Fuel consumption figures , and short overtaking possibility too ..
Samrat Roy There you have it! A comment from the Boss-Man!
plz suggest which one should I go Kawasaki er6n or Benelli 600i
The ER-6n is replaced by the Z650. You can find out more about it here - ruclips.net/video/yozzRBaVpIY/видео.html
and about the TNT 600i here - ruclips.net/video/4z7eKDh0EaU/видео.html
PowerDrift thanks guyz
Guys ....i recently got ER6N 2016 model... I would like to know is there any way that i can install ABS brakes . If yes let me where can i get it.
There are aftermarket ABS options available in the market. However, do visit the SVC to know if that's possible before taking the plunge
why didnt u just buy the ABS version one?
+PowerDrift ... Thanks a lot for the information.
+Splendid Cookie We don't the ABS version in India as of now.
+PowerDrift Great job guys , review from power drift are really useful in making the right choice.
When you will release the next video of ER 6n in the Urban jungle?
Great review!
Thanks, Ryan. Hope you've also subscribed to our channel!
the er6n has abs. i got one on my own
It exists in both ABS and non-ABS versions
The footpegs should be adjustable on such bikes , right ?
how tall are you ?
Excellent review as always SGT. Big thumbs up to Kawasaki for bringing such bikes in our country. I hope Yamaha to wake up and at least bring the MT-07 here :)
Abhishek Dwivedi 2015 looks to be a promising year for motorcycling enthusiasts. Lets wait and watch what these manufacturers have in store for us.
would love to see a comparison between this and the benelli 600i
VivekAnand Athanikar We will try to cover this!
Although the absence of ABS is conspicuous still its a good bike......
Really nice review guys.....
This video was quite on the editing front.....
Thumbs up for that....
Subodh Ranjan Kudos buddy! Appreciate it. :)
Guyz when you will upload the review video of RC390.?
I am eagerly waiting for it.!
Rana Mukherjee The RC 390 like we mentioned earlier is a mad mad bike! It keeps running away. :P
How tall are you ?
Good Review bro.
make video/review about yamaha xj6 naked .. please
Can u pls help me for ktm duke 390 2017 model I want to put rear tyre 170/60/17 is dat tyre wil be fine do reply
I had a dream of ninja 650 nd now it has turned into versys 650 being costly its a fully loaded weapon then the other Kawasaki 650 cc bikes or is it having any other 650 cc leaving this 3 ???
do u think this bike is suitable for new riders ?
+Jasper Song EVERY bike is suitable for new riders, as long as that new driver knows what he's doing my pals drove 125cc bikes like madmen, while I drove my 600cc triumph supersport using my brains I never had an incident, while 2 of them totalled their little bikes just saying... these ER6N's have only about 75hp, that's not THAT much and they have some torque but even 400cc bikes have more than power enough to bring you into trouble
+Sagar Sheldekar what the hell does ABS have to do with being suitable for new riders????
dear powerdrift my budget is 5Lacs.which bike would be best? plz reply.
Hey there comrade, what type of riding are you looking at? For track riding, there are faired bikes, for touring, there are tourers and cruisers, and for urban riding, there are naked bikes.
I like naked bikes. something like Kawasaki z250. I love its design.but I want best in my budget. thanks for replying.
Thanks guys. amazing review. Can you do a comparo with the Benelli 600i.
What a Review ! Loved it ... But I have some questions. If the Ergos Are same as of the 650 , is it still a great tourer ?? Considering the fairing is gone ,the windblast will develop strain on the rider but except that fact , are the ergo's and the combination of a Short handle bar still make it a tourer ?? 'coz if this happens then Its the Best combination on a bike . A bike which is good for touring as well as to scrape some Knee on the track !
Once again Amazing review guys.. P.S. Plz test this thing at lavasa !
"Wind Blast" man, knock it off.. that is a new term that motorcycle writers invented to sell motorcycles by bashing nakeds to get them to buy super sports. I fly down the road at 130mph on a XB9S... its like a BMX bicycle with a 1000cc motor in it.. "wind blast".. I have never heard of it.
If you're riding on the freeway for 10 hours you'll feel it. Otherwise if you're not touring for hours at high speed you'll never feel it.
vidurc If I am going to tour I will be on a cruiser.. little high performance bikes were not designed for that type of endurance. You can do it but why put yourself through that? No single bike is good at everything.. that is why you want at least two of them.
Nobody's arguing that. It just comes with the territory. If someone complains about wind while riding a monster bike that's part of the experience. You either like it or you don't.

Nice review. Love the specific details / impressions.
+BMRTV Thank you! Keep watching for more :)
Saw the D3vil's teaser yet? ruclips.net/video/nWSZP65G-d4/видео.html
absence of abs is deal breaker for me, especially at this price point.
The absence of abs is even more glaring when u have a bike like d390 which is sold at a mouth watering price and still offers a superb abs !!
if it was in my control i would have definitely standardized abs on pretty much all 2 wheelers thanks to our awesome road conditions, yes the increased cost would pinch abit but then it'd prove to be life saver.
ABS is a lifesaver for anyone not practicing threshold braking. Personally if I rode a purely track oriented machine it would be annoying to have ABS since it takes away from my ability to control the machine. On the street it's great but still takes away from rider skill.

yep threshold braking is usefull but only on a track where u have prefect road conditions.
threshold braking involves knowing the limits of ur machine but the limitations of a machine varies with the road conditions and here we got all sorts of nasty stuff like sand, debris, water which spoil the traction. (and i don't know alot of ppl who practice braking on the kind of stuff i mentioned let alone on fresh tarmac).
plus when we find ourselves in nasty situation , we tend to panic which leads to panic braking and implementing threshold braking while panicking is easier said than done.
so when it comes to lifesaving abs is still better than threshold braking.
gunjit singh Not only on a track. What is the definition of threshold braking? The technique involves the driver controlling the brake pedal (or lever) pressure to maximize the braking force developed by the tires. Over any low traction situations it is a combination of threshold braking and engine braking to give you control.
What do you think ABS does? It reduces or cancels out braking pressure to prevent lock. Which means that you are no longer braking when ABS is in effect. I have to drive on ice here every winter. ABS is great at preventing lock and I use it as a gauge to figure out how hard I need to brake without locking the wheels and engaging the system. However the people that use ABS often typically stay on the brakes assuming ABS is going to sort everything out.
Call it life saving but the fact is all it creates now is a dependence on the technology. Plenty of crap riders and driver out there who slam their brakes and assume the electronics will take care of it. That is the problem. On ice ABS will stay engaged the entire time until your tires gain traction. The tires are the most important factor in the entire equation. People here blame ABS, Traction control, stability control and more for their stupidity.
Hi PD.
Nice Crisp Review of the ER there!
Would be great if you would do a comparo between the BN600i and ERn6.
Please do let us know if you are planning such a review.
Will be good fun to watch two great bikes pitted against each other.
Thanks.
I want to be your rider 😍😍
i was waiting like hell for this. so that i could compare the two versions the ninja 650 and er6n.
Max Steel And what have you finalized on?
PowerDrift I feel er6n is the one only problem is no abs. Sagar is right about the abs.
Got this beast month back and crashed it in corner still have lot to learn
We hope you're alright, comrade. Godspeed!

HUMBLE REQUEST to review DUCATI 821 .. n alwaz to mention...
by ur review ... ill go to check ER-6n too...AWSME CORNERS AKASH...
SANTY's DESK The 821 is a tall order as we do not have that in India as of yet! Akash has gone bonkers after seeing this comment & now is taking us for a treat! :P
the devil of Kawasaki is excellent for riders and it is smooth in turns the suspense is good and stable in quick turns it will be a good bike in budget for teenagers and for all sports biker and acceleration is so fast but this bike can take u much closer to god if u don't know about this bike !!!! nice work #PowerDrift excellent reviews with awesome bike
Praveen Singh Yes, it definitely is a great machine. Very torquey & excellent VFM.
indeed :) you're doing excellent work PowerDrift and team ... good going
Can someone tell me the owner's mileage of this bike please .... I'm considering to buy it please
19-21
can you try the honda cb650f?
Do you think i should go ahead to buy this 1 especially for the road in Mumbai powerdrift you say yes an i go ahead
which is more better ninja 300 or er6n
Good review.
Waiting for ninja 650 r 2017 review :)
its just awesome..... #powerdriftoffical
akshay kadam Cheers buddy!
Guys i was considering buying this model , but the rumours are that kawasaki might come up with an updated er6n having ABS and stuff . My question was whether i should wait for the newer model or go ahead and buy this model and will the updated model cost more as i have a low budget and this seems to be the perfect bike in my budget . Please Reply ty.
+Kartik Bangera There are global updates due on this model alright, but that would mean a wait for another 2-3 months. Are you ok with that kind of wait?
Im thinking ill wait until jan 2016 , as until then all the international updates would be launched and we might have an idea as to what might and might not come to india . Plus there are rumours of the zx6r and 800cc triumph street triple on the way . *fingers crossed * . Its really helpful to all of us who have no contacts with experienced bikers , to have groups like powerdrift on the internet to advise and guide us . Thanks a ton to all powerdrift member . Really thank you :)
pls do hyosung gt650r .........
Amazing review as always :) I'm actually thinking to purchase a bike around 5-6lakhs range and now I'm confused between kawasaki ninja 650, kawasaki er-6n or harley davidson street. Which would u suggest?
mahesh lalchandani Classic case that every biker goes through! What it will eventually come down to is your motive of riding a motorcycle. Touring, everyday riding or cruising all day long!
Hey guys, when will the full review be out? Also r u gonna do a comparo with the hyosung gt650n? I'm actually considering my next bike, currently riding a p220, budget is tight, I'm looking for a fun tourer, between the duke 390, ninja 300, gt650n and er6n which one would you choose?
Sriramachandran TM What budget are you targeting? If it is around 2 lacs then the Duke 390 should satiate your appetite but if torque is what you are looking at with an extended budget then the N650 should be a good option. The ER-6n being a naked will have a wind blast issue on the highway!
@powerdrift - waiting for your review on the kawasaki z650 now :)
We're just waiting to get our hands on the media bike. Stay tuned. :)
Hello PD..please review Z650..I hope it is a good tourer too.. :D
Sum 41?
can you please show kawasaki z 250sl power drift...
what i mean is the 2016 z 250sl green model...thanks in advance...and more power!!!
Z250sl is not yet sell in india market
Z250sl is not yet sell in india market
+powerdrift tell me is worth it of getting ER6N or a NINJA 300... me and my friends have planes to get 3 bikes... help ous or suggest a good one.. ; )
+Pratap Roy What exactly are you looking for in a bike? Because the two bikes that you have mentioned belong to two completely different genres.
am asking like which one these two would be good for touring and sports....
How about powerdrift start giving out bikes as part of their promotions? I will sleep outside their offices to participate ! : p

MrFireykid sigh! We aren't a 'giant' corporation! But we would really love to do it!
