Rider Profile

Best ForThis LAMS-restricted parallel-twin is aimed squarely at newer or licence-restricted riders looking for a manageable step up from a beginner bike.
PurposeIt's a versatile everyday naked bike best suited to commuting, learning the ropes, and easy weekend rides rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe 805mm seat height and modest 206kg wet weight make it approachable for shorter or less experienced riders to handle at a stop and in slow maneuvers.
CharacterIts mild low-end torque delivery and forgiving chassis make it a relaxed, confidence-inspiring companion rather than an adrenaline machine.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for experienced riders craving strong power, serious off-road capability, or dedicated long-distance touring comfort.

2015 Kawasaki ER-6NL (lams) ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Kawasaki ER-6NL (lams) ABS, 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.
