Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2005

The Kawa leaves nothing to be desired. Engine, chassis and brakes will satisfy you 100%. This machine will make the intensive lap times drop, even the rider will not be able to prevent that.

Anti-hopping clutch

strong overall package

optimal chassis

stability

works with all tyres

almost complete.

Unsteady handling on complex tracks with bumps

very sporty overall set-up => advantage for racetrack, disadvantage for road

The KTM 890 Duke R is the sportiest evolutionary stage of the 890 Duke. More power, firmer chassis, sharper brakes - these ingredients, together with the already low vehicle weight, make it a real precision machine. A fast and cool bike for riding fun fetishists, ambitious home track heaters and, last but not least, a real recommendation for trackday visitors. However, the sporty positioning of the upper body and the somewhat more acute knee angle come at the expense of comfort. Last but not least, the adjustable suspension in the basic setup is really crisply tuned. If you want to enjoy the powerful 890 engine and the high-quality electronics a little more comfortably, you can still go for the basic model with a clear conscience.
