Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2025

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2025

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R impresses with a powerful 636 cubic centimetres engine and dynamic handling, making it a thoroughly potent and sportily tuned machine. The well-functioning quickshifter and clear display contribute to a positive riding experience. However, the aggressive riding position significantly compromises comfort and the lack of a modern ride-by-wire system prevents the use of a blipper - making the ZX-6R look outdated compared to competitor models. Overall, it is an excellent choice for riders with sporting ambitions, but offers room for improvement in terms of comfort and modern features.

Powerful 636cc engine with plenty of grunt and power

well-functioning quickshifter at high rpm

good handling and pleasant ride feel

clear and easy-to-read display

sporty suspension

reliable brakes

Missing Ride-by-Wire system - therefore no blipper

aggressive riding position with acute knee angle and handlebar ends turned inwards

lack of comfort for longer rides

somewhat spartan display compared to the competition

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2018

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2018

A worthy new edition from Honda. Even if it doesn't quite shine as brightly in the standard version as it does with the Öhlins Gold in the "SP" version, the Fireblade is a much better bike in 2017. The electronics package is good, the handling great and the seating position very good. The bike looks like a unified whole and will make Honda fans happy.

Good brakes

Low weight and nimble handling

Engine has plenty of power from the rev range

High build quality

No shift assistant

sluggish and not very precise throttle grip

chassis "nice" on the racetrack but not good enough to precisely set the scene for the great handling

disadvantages at peak performance on long straights
