The second-generation ER-6n, redesigned for 2012 with a high-tensile perimeter frame, a longer, taller seat and a larger 16-litre tank. The 649 cc twin keeps its capacity and output, but the chassis and riding position are new. ABS was available as an option, and the bike is listed as Euro III compliant.
