Hoely ER6-RR - faster than a ZX-6R?

Hoely ER6-RR ... 98bhp up from around 75bhp as standard

CHECK OUT this tricked up Kawasaki ER6-RR from German tuners Hoely.

This special includes a vast array of improvements, including: gas-flowed head with an increased compression ratio of 13.8:1, balanced pistons, rods and crank, high-lift cams, advanced ignition, a modified airbox and a full Akrapovic system and to cope with the increase in heat; a larger radiator from a Yamaha R6.

This beefed-up ER6 also includes the USD suspension off a Kawasaki ZX-6R, with the radial brakes from a ZX-10R and the standard rear shock is junked for a fully-adjustable aftermarket item.

It ought to be seriously quick around a track, with more torque than a standard ZX-6R and better quality suspension. Fast enough to beat a sports 600? We think so.

Would be interesting to see how the chassis holds up. Forks and shock off ZX6/10 fair enough, but thats all bolted to a 'budget' frame.

Definately fancy a run on one, sounds like fun to me!

Possibly the same people that buy Fazers and Hornets but want something a little less mainstream?

I like the look of it personally. Wouldn't buy one because I'm not on the market for a middleweight. Is it going on general sale anyway and if so how much would it cost? Looks more like an exercise in 'look what we can do' for the tuner IMO.

Nige Hartford put a bit of work into a ER6 and it was a good track tool. I think this one would be pretty good fun.

As Rob says, this is a rolling showroom for a tuning house, the Germans do it quite a lot.

Is there anything wrong with the ER6 frame, then? I haven't heard any complaints, and contrary to some beliefs, you don't actually need an alloy frame to go round corners.

And the quoted power is probably real, measured bhp, unlike the slightly over-egged manufacturers boasts, so the difference is less than you think.

I like this bike a lot. It'd be even better in bog-standard colours - poor old power ranger brigade wouldn't know what hit 'em!

Blimey - I would REALLY like one of them.  Even though it's a ghey white one!

I bought a 2009 ER6N because I couldn't find a mint ZXR400. I have a 2007 ZX6R as well, but I wanted a stable-mate. 

The handling and flickability of the ER6 is spectacular as standard, and I bought it having seen its potential for tuning, but looks like this german company got there first. 

 I'd like to have them work on my ER6N for me
