Kawasaki Er-6f
The Kawasaki Er-6f has a top speed of 195 km/h, produces 72 hp and weighs 193 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
La Kawasaki ER-6f (conocida como Ninja 650R en algunos mercados) se presentó en 2006 como una versión con carenado de la ER-6n naked bike, dirigida a ciclistas principiantes e intermedios que buscaban una moto deportiva con dos ruedas paralelas accesible. Se sometió a un rediseño importante en 2012 con una ergonomía mejorada, un estilo actualizado y una puesta a punto del motor refinada, y nuevamente en 2017, cuando pasó a llamarse simplemente Ninja 650. Se convirtió en uno de los pesos medianos más vendidos de Kawasaki en todo el mundo debido a su accesible entrega de potencia, su cómoda posición de conducción y su precio relativamente bajo.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Watch the Cam Chain
The ER-6F's parallel-twin engine can develop cam chain tensioner noise if maintenance is neglected. Listen for a rattling sound on cold starts — a common early warning sign on higher-mileage bikes.
Strong Resale Value
The ER-6F holds its value well due to its popularity as a beginner-to-intermediate bike with broad appeal. Low running costs and easy parts availability keep used prices competitive and stable.
Reliable 649cc Twin
Kawasaki's 649cc parallel-twin is known for being highly durable with minimal issues when serviced regularly. Many owners report 50,000+ km with no major mechanical failures beyond routine maintenance.

"Peso mediano engañosamente capaz que supera su precio."
Hice 18.000 km en una ER-6f de 2007 y eso cambió mi forma de pensar sobre las bicicletas «para principiantes»: esta no es una bicicleta para principiantes, solo es accesible. La bicilíndrica en paralelo arranca con fuerza a partir de las 4.500 rpm, y esa meseta de par entre 6.000 y 8.000 rpm hace que los adelantamientos en carreteras A sean realmente satisfactorios sin tener que torcerse el cuello. El semicarenado funciona bastante bien incluso a velocidades de autopista, aunque por encima de los 130 km/h los hombros hacen un gran esfuerzo y las muñecas empiezan a quejarse al cabo de una hora. Mi principal problema es la suspensión: la amortiguación de serie es muy suave en la parte trasera y los pilotos más pesados se quedarán sin carga antes del primer intervalo de servicio, así que opta por un amortiguador trasero si pesas más de 80 kg.
Pros
Contras
Carrocería revisada, inyección de combustible actualizada, ergonomía mejorada, instrumentos nuevos y esquemas de colores renovados.
Rediseño importante con un estilo más nítido, una puesta a punto del motor revisada, un nuevo marco enrejado y una suspensión y un frenado mejorados.
Reseña de un comprador usado
"A genuinely great used buy if you find a clean, maintained example."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe ER-6F is one of those bikes that just makes sense. Kawasaki built it as an accessible parallel twin that doesn't punish you for being a newer rider, but doesn't bore experienced ones either. The 649cc motor pulls cleanly from low revs and that midrange torque hits right where you need it in real-world traffic. It's not fast by modern standards, but it feels lively and honest. Used examples are everywhere, which cuts both ways. Plenty of choice, but plenty of abuse too. Check the fairings hard — they crack easily and replacements aren't cheap. Look for evidence of drops, because this bike attracts learners and learners drop things. Chains and sprockets get neglected badly on these, so budget for a replacement set if it hasn't been done. Fork seals are another weak point on higher-mileage bikes. Above all, check the service history. The engine itself is bulletproof if maintained, but ignored oil changes will eventually catch up with the cam chain tensioner. Buy a clean one with receipts and you'll have very few complaints.
