Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2024

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2024

The 2026 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is a bike that almost goes against the spirit of the times, which is precisely why it is so appealing. While many manufacturers have long since abandoned the classic supersport class, Kawasaki is sticking to the idea of a lightweight, high-revving, precise and uncompromising sports motorbike. The 636cc engine runs wonderfully smoothly, offers real supersport emotion at high rpms and has more usability than classic 600s thanks to slightly more displacement. The suspension is precise, confidence-inspiring and works well both on the road and on the race track. The brakes are firm and powerful. The electronics are not the most modern, but are sufficient and well setup in practice.

silky smooth and revvy 636 cc in-line four-cylinder engine strong running culture and very good modulation

precise, confidence-inspiring suspension

powerful and stable brake system

very good transmission with cleanly functioning quickshifter

more modern appearance with TFT, LED lights and smartphone connectivity

more suitable for everyday use than classic 600cc supersports bikes

Tight ergonomics, especially for taller riders Quickshifter only for upshifting

No Ride-by-Wire and no blipper

Rear wheel ABS cannot be deactivated separately

Wind protection rather tight as standard

Electronics not at the latest supersport level

Kawasaki Z900 SE 2023

Kawasaki Z900 SE 2023

The Z900 SE is not only a successful addition to the normal Z900, but actually the better and more sensible version. Because the refined fork, the Öhlins suspension strut that is not fully adjustable but more responsive, and the snappier Brembo M4.32 brake system make the SE refreshingly sportier and are well worth the extra price - especially if you also take into account the cool look of the Prestige components! However, the fact that a quickshifter is not even available at extra cost will hurt real sports enthusiasts. If you can live with the relatively high weight of over 214 kilos, you get a sufficiently manageable naked bike.

Powerful, pleasantly sonorous four-cylinder engine

high-quality chassis components, Öhlins at the rear

strong Brembo M4-32 brakes

good ergonomics

easy handling.

No quickshifter, not even optional

no lean angle dependent traction control and no cornering ABS due to missing IMU

high weight
