Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2025

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2025

The Kawasaki ZX-6R 2025 is a bike that is more than just a technical evolution. It is a piece of motorbike history, a relic from a time when 600cc supersports dominated the roads - and it shows why we should never forget this era. With stable geometry, a harmonious engine, butter-smooth transmission and a character that inspires confidence, it is a revelation for both ambitious trackday riders and sporty country road fans. You get off, look back - and have that grin on your face that no other bike produces so consistently.

Powerful 636cc engine with plenty of grunt and power

well-functioning quickshifter at high rpms

good handling and pleasant ride feel

sportily tuned suspension

reliable brakes

Missing Ride-by-Wire system - therefore no blipper

seat too soft and low for the race track

ABS lines not optimal for track use
