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

The new Honda CBR600RR divides minds above all with its idiosyncratic front - and that's a good thing, after all, this makes it perceived as completely new and different from its predecessor. That this is not the case is proven by the rest of the machine, the high-mounted rear silencer, the chassis and the engine are largely unchanged.

Super design

sporty look

powerful engine

pleasant ergonomics

optimal braking system.

The fittings could have been done better - at least in terms of appearance.
