Kawasaki delivers first ER-6n
Radio One DJ and long-time biker Mary Anne Hobbs has taken delivery of the country's first privately owned Kawasaki ER-6n.
A self-confessed music addict and famous for her Breezeblock rock show on Radio One, Hobbs also spends time in front of the cameras talking about her other love in the BBC's Mary Anne's Bikes.
She is also well know to British Eurosport viewers who can see her presenting the channel's World Superbike coverage.

"I've always been a major Kawasaki fan," claimed Hobbs. "I had a KH250 back in the day, it was the first bike I bought after I passed my test and I wore a black tasselled leather jacket with 'Kawasaki Queen' on the back."
What Miss Hobbs may lack in fashion sense she makes up for in bike knowledge, commenting on her new ride she said: "It's such an arresting machine to look at and it's the perfect bike for me - lightweight, agile, handles beautifully, which is exactly what I need when I'm chasing through London traffic every day. It's the only way to travel in the 21st Century."
The ER-6n and ER-6f have been designed as entry-level bikes and Kawasaki expect them to appeal to existing riders as well as those returning to biking.
