NINJA 650
ER-6n

FUN. AGGRESSIVE. EASY.

The all-new Ninja 650 and ER-6n improves upon the legendary technology of its
predecessors with an improved powerband, a slimmer new dual-pipe chassis and
more aggressive styling thats complemented by a three-way adjustable windscreen
and multi-reflector dual headlamps. Equally at home in the city, on the highway
or on your favourite back road, these two models offer a versatile riding
experience for both novice and experienced riders.

Compact, Quick-Revving Engine

The quick-revving 649cc liquid-cooled,
4-stroke Parallel Twin engine configuration
was chosen as the best balance between
power characteristics and compact size.
Engine tuning delivers both a rider-friendly
character ideal for new riders and keeping the
performance that puts a smile on the faces of
more experienced riders. The engines compact
size is one of the keys to its slim package.
The 2012 engine offers more low-mid range
torque for more fun and greater usability in
everyday riding situations, while maintaining

the smooth, high-revving character of its

predecessor.

Under-engine
Muffler
Muffler located under the engine lowers
the bikes centre of gravity and contributes
its highly focused appearance. A more
aggressive angle complements the bikes
aggressive, lightweight image.

Increased Stopping Power

Redesigned Seat

Two-piece seat features significantly

thicker cushioning. The front seat is
not only thicker at the top edge, but
thanks to the new rear frame
design the plastic seat
base construction was
completely revised,
enabling much
thicker cushioning
throughout.

Slimmer, Lighter Handling Chassis

Light nimble handling compliments of the compact engine,
unique new double pipe high-tensile steel frame and
revised suspension settings.
