Rider Profile

Best ForA friendly, forgiving parallel-twin that suits new and returning riders as comfortably as it does experienced commuters looking for something low-stress.
PurposeBuilt as an all-round street and commuting machine, blending everyday usability with occasional weekend backroad fun.
Rider FitThe 805 mm seat height and moderate 209 kg weight make it accessible for riders of average and shorter stature without feeling flimsy.
CharacterA smooth, torque-friendly twin with a relaxed delivery that rewards easy revs rather than aggressive redline chasing.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders chasing track-day lap times or serious off-road adventure capability.

2011 Kawasaki ER-6F Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Kawasaki ER-6F, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
