Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2008

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2008

The Kawasaki rides noticeably more manageable than before. The machine lacks absolutely nothing for the racetrack. Steering damper, anti-hopping, chassis, engine - everything is ready. Only not quite as stable as before, the rear feels lighter in the braking zone than before.

Reduced weight

improved handling

more compact layout

Öhlings steering damper

comfort offered

good seating position

immaculate engine tuning.

Stability - unsteadiness in the braking zone

new fork brings disadvantage: tolerences must be maintained over the entire surface of the immersion tube.

The new CBR650R takes the spirit we know from classic four-cylinder sports tourers and brings it into the modern era. Thanks to the good engine tuning, you don't have to worry about being left behind by your two-cylinder friends, especially as you are rewarded with a lovely sound across the rev range. Unfortunately, however, there can be too much sound, as the roar below 4,500 rpm proved. On the chassis and seating position side, a compromise has been found that allows the CBR650R to cope well with everyday riding, as well as longer tours and house track hunts.

very elastic four-cylinder

sufficient comfort for longer tours

good wind protection

great looks

easy to operate

A2 suitable

Drone below 4,500 rpm
