KAWASAKI ER-5 498 2004 - 2005

KAWASAKI ER-5 498 (2004 - 2005) Description & History: The 2004 Kawasaki ER-5 retains the styling and performance of the previous year model: a naked street bike with a 498cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke parallel-twin engine and 50.3 PS max power.

Thanks to the massive 17 L fuel tank the 2003 Kawasaki ER-5 makes also for a nice touring bike. Special accessories are available. This bike is a very handy commuter machine, as it comes with a two-up seat and under-seat storage. Its 179 kg weight and 800mm seat height make it very easy to ride, even by smaller motorcyclists.

The classic instrument cluster sports a dual-gauge design, with fuel and lights indicators which are all easy to read. The steel frame is complemented by a telescopic fork, a preload-adjustable rear shock, disc front brakes and a drum rear one.
