Prices of the ER6 in Malaysia

During the initial launch, Malaysians could only get the Kawasaki ER6 in its original CBU form. That said, while the prices were naturally higher given its CBU production the quality was at par with its higher pricing too.

To check if your ER6 is a CBU or CKD unit, please refer to your Motor Registration Card. I was informed by shops to note if the status written therein is "Kenderan Import Baru", then you have purchased a real solid CBU while the status "Pemasangan Tempatan" would denote a CKD version. Idling and vibration on the CBU bikes were said to be smoother and quieter, reflected by the higher engineering that went into these machines.

Prices of the the ER6 were revised downwards as its manufacturing was transferred from overseas to locally, and as its demand increases which secured the economies of scale as per the following :

CBU                            CKD
ER6-N : RM46k         RM37k
Versys : RM47k          RM38k
ER6-F : RM48k          RM38k

In fact, at a certain point, the waiting time and volume of buyers for the ER6 was said to be higher than its bread-and-butter Ninja 250 model.
