Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2019

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2019

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is a perfectly sized supersport motorbike. With its 130 hp, sporty but controlled riding is possible. The shorter gearing and the 36cc extra displacement ensure that you can be a bit lazier on the road. A worthy flag-waver for the 600cc supersport segment.

Great engine with a great mix of revving and torque

supersport pleasure with lively handling - but still no ascetic feeling in the saddle

well responsive fork and decent, adjustable chassis.

Some details could do with more finesse - number plate holder and indicators!

The overall silhouette is not sporty enough. The sporty bike could do with more aggressiveness.
