How does it look?
The 2025 Ninja ZX-6R looks similar to Kawasaki’s old Ninja, but some new changes have been made in it. New LED headlights, small windscreen and ZX-10R-like body give it an even more aggressive look. This bike will be available in two colors: Lime Green/Ebony (KRT Edition) and Metallic Flat Spark Black. The green and black colour scheme of the KRT edition is reminiscent of the World Superbike race.
How is the engine?
The bike has a 636cc liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder engine that produces 124 hp (up to 129 hp if air pressure is available). Its torque is 69 Nm which is available at 11,000 rpm. Some changes have been made to the engine to comply with the new pollution rules, such as new cam profiles and exhaust system. This not only reduces pollution, but the engine also gives more power at low and medium speeds, which is good for city driving and overtaking on the highway.
Some people say that its power seems a little less than the older models at higher rpm (after 12,500 rpm), but it handles well on both track and road. It has 6 gears, a quickshifter (which helps in shifting up gears), and a slipper clutch, which prevents the tyre from slipping when downshifting quickly.
How is the suspension and handling?
The 2025 ZX-6R’s suspension is designed for both track and road:
- Front: 41mm Showa SFF-BP (big piston fork), which you can adjust as per your requirement.
- Rear: Showa Uni-Trak shock, this too you can adjust.
These suspensions keep the bike under control even on tight turns and at high speeds, and also provide comfort when riding in the city or on the highway. The bike’s frame is light and strong, which helps in cornering and staying stable. It is fitted with Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires, which provide good grip.
What technology is there?
The 2025 ZX-6R also has new technology:
- 4.3-inch TFT display: The old LCD screen has now been replaced by a color screen, which is clearly visible even in sunlight. It connects to the Rideology app on your phone via Bluetooth, so you can see riding data, GPS and notifications.
- Riding modes: There are four modes (Sport, Road, Rain, and Rider) that allow you to adjust the traction control and power.
- KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control): There are three levels of this that offer control on slippery roads.
- KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent ABS): This is a special braking system that keeps the bike stable when braking.
- Quickshifter: This helps you shift up gears quickly and smoothly.
However, there is no IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), so there are no features like cornering ABS or more advanced traction control features found on the Yamaha R6 or ZX-10R.
How is the safety and braking?
- Front brakes: There are two 310mm disc brakes with 4-piston Nissin calipers.
- Rear brake: There is one 210mm disc brake with a single-piston caliper.
- ABS: It has a KIBS system, which is good for supersport riding.
This system keeps the bike stable during sharp braking and cornering, giving confidence to those who ride on the track.
Price and when will it be available?
The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R starts at $11,399 (approximately Rs 9.6 lakh), and the ABS model is priced at $12,399 (approximately Rs 10.4 lakh). The KRT edition will also be available at the same price. This bike has started being available at dealers in the US, especially in states like California, Florida and Texas, where sports bikes sell more. For dealer information, visit Kawasaki’s website (www.kawasaki.com).
Who will it compete with?
The 2025 ZX-6R competes with the Yamaha R6, Honda CBR600RR and Suzuki GSX-R600. However, the Yamaha R6 is now a track-only bike, and the CBR600RR is not available in Europe. The ZX-6R’s 636cc engine gives it more mid-range power than the 599cc engined bikes, making it good for both street and track.
Is this the last supersport?
The market for 600cc supersport bikes is slowly dwindling due to new pollution regulations. Models like the Yamaha R6 and Suzuki GSX-R600 have been discontinued in Europe. Kawasaki has saved the ZX-6R by complying with the new regulations, but even more stringent regulations may come in the future. For now, this bike is a great option for supersport enthusiasts.
