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.

Kawasaki Ninja 500 SE 2024

The Kawasaki Ninja 500 SE impresses as a versatile bike with an excellent power-to-weight ratio that is suitable for both sporty riding and everyday use. With a powerful 450cc two-cylinder engine and a weight of just 171 kg, it offers agile handling and sporty riding performance. The riding position is comfortable and the brakes and clutch work precisely and reliably. Although the bike has no traction control, the engine is easy to control. The outdated display and menu navigation as well as the average sound of the engine are criticised. Despite these shortcomings, the Ninja 500 SE offers excellent value for money and is an attractive choice for riders in the A2 segment.
