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

Are there so many people who don't need 100 hp to stabilise their ego? I think with previous single-cylinder models, it was always the design that was the problem, not the lack of power. The Duke manages to look really high-quality even as a small single-cylinder.

Stable frame

relatively low overall weight

good chassis

high-quality components

strong braking system

handling.

Significantly weaker single-cylinder engine

somewhat less comfort

somewhat less power.
