KAWASAKI ARE to unveil their line-up of 2009 machinery at The Carole Nash International
Motorcycle and Scooter Show, held this year from 28th November to 7th December.
The range of new
bikes is fronted by the totally re-vamped, lighter Ninja ZX-6R designed for superior all round control. The sharper, quicker-revving, lighter-handling ER-6n and ER-6f machines will also excite showgoers
with their contemporary looks and performance.
The latest ZX-6R continues its track orientated heritage taking the new model to peak performance
whilst retaining road sensibilities. A revised chassis and lighter weight enhances handling to give the
rider greater confidence to explore the machine’s considerable limits. The ZX-6R’s latest engine
provides precise engine control across all RPM and pumps out an impressive spread of mid-range
torque. Aesthetically the 2009 ZX-6R follows its big brother, the Ninja ZX-10R, using twin fox-eye
style head lights, MotoGP inspired fairing panels and a seat-unit almost identical to its larger
counterpart.
The naked ER-6n and the faired ER-6f have been comprehensively updated with new fuelling
characteristics for the parallel twin engines that provide smoother low-mid response and a quickerrevving
character. A lighter chassis and changes to the frame, swingarm and suspension allowed by
the ER-6’s compact engine have improved handling further still and enabled the bike to retain the
dimensions of a 400 but with the power of a 650.
Joining the new ZX-6R, ER-6n and ER-6f, Kawasaki will also be showing off other new for 2009
models; the VN1700 Voyager, VN1700 Classic, VN1700 Classic Tourer and KLX250R off-road styled
machine.
Race fans will be eager to get up close and personal with Kawasaki’s ZX-RR MotoGP bike, British
Superbike machines and the mighty KX450F and KX250F from their off road competition stable.
Michael Johnstone, Sales and Marketing Manager, Kawasaki Motors UK, commented; “We are
anticipating a real buzz around our NEC Show presence with a raft of major new models, a MotoGP
bike and other race machines on display plus our very own on-stand clothing shop. With new
supersport, cruiser, naked and off-road style bikes making their UK debut at this show there is a
real must-see element to the Kawasaki stand”.
