Pros and Cons in comparison

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

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2018

A worthy new edition from Honda. Even if it doesn't quite shine as brightly in the standard version as it does with the Öhlins Gold in the "SP" version, the Fireblade is a much better bike in 2017. The electronics package is good, the handling great and the seating position very good. The bike looks like a unified whole and will make Honda fans happy.

Good brakes

Low weight and nimble handling

Engine has plenty of power from the rev range

High build quality

No shift assistant

sluggish and not very precise throttle grip

chassis "nice" on the racetrack but not good enough to precisely set the scene for the great handling

disadvantages at peak performance on long straights
