Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2020

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2020

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is a perfectly sized supersport motorbike. With its 130 hp, sporty but controlled riding is possible. The shorter gearing and the 36cc extra displacement ensure that you can be a bit lazier on the road. A worthy flag-waver for the 600cc supersport segment.

Great engine with a great mix of revving and torque

supersport pleasure with lively handling - but still no ascetic feeling in the saddle

well responsive fork and decent, adjustable chassis.

Some details could do with more finesse - number plate holder and indicators!

The overall silhouette is not sporty enough. The sporty bike could do with more aggressiveness.

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2012

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2012

At the current price level of the 1000cc, you can't call any motorbike a bargain, but the Honda is still at the lower end of the price scale. This should not be forgotten when making comparisons with the Panigale or the Aprilia RSV4 Factory.

Simple chassis

pleasant engine

relatively comfortable ride

ABS

seating position unattractive for taller riders.

Unusual set-up problems - balance and handlebar precision.
