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.

Some twisty stages become wonderful special stages. It is reassuring to know that you don't need a GSX-R 1000 for 15,000 euros to have a good time in the Winkelwerk. There was a lot of shifting, late braking and early acceleration. It was just a nice little race among friends.

Good workmanship

clean engine tuning

plenty of power

spring preload and rebound adjustable

positive chassis.
