Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2025
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.
Yamaha R7 2025
All in all, the R7 is a very good beginner's track bike that prepared me for track riding in a safe, pleasant and in no way strenuous way and accompanied me along the way. The pleasant yet track-ready ergonomics, the light weight, the fantastic tyres, brakes and suspension components and the torquey engine at low and medium revs allowed me to correct mistakes that most novice track riders make, and all without bringing me down, scaring me, scaring me or even making me throw in the towel.
