KAWASAKI ER-5 498 (2005 - 2006) Description & History: The 2005 Kawasaki ER-5 carries on the features of the original model: the 498cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke parallel-twin engine delivering 50.3 PS and naked bike styling with a sporty attitude.
Thanks to its convenient dimensions and weight, the 2005 Kawasaki ER-5 can be equally useful as a commuter for daily rides, for fun around the city or for longer trips: its 17 L fuel tank capacity means you'll be riding quite a lot between refueling stops.
The instrument cluster retains the classic approach: dual gauges for speed and rpm, and easy-to-read lights indicators. The engine is still fueled by dual Keihin carburetors and digital ignition.
