    It’s a Kawasaki ER-6n from 2015. I’m quite enjoying it so far, for as long as the good weather lasts.

      Good choice, I’ve had a 2014 ER6f for about 6 years now and apart from the fit and finish being a bit crap it’s been a fab bike … lots more fun than the faster bikes I had before and if you have good form it can go well on the track too (the frame geometry really responds to rider weight movement). Also the ER6n was used by one of the former European Moto Gymkhana champions, too :-)

      Protip: if there’s no record of the forks being rebuilt it’s a worthwhile thing to have done on any bike that’s over 10 years old!

      Good brake pads, braided lines, and aftermarket handlebars all made noticeable improvements for me, too.
