NEW 2009 Kawasaki ZX-6R


Costly (to the OEMs) updates to the 600s access every two years in a amaranthine adventure to one-up their rivals. And it's for these affidavit why the ZX-6R is so redoubtable. Kawasaki has congenital a motor that calmly out-guns its 600cc rivals, but aloof as absorbing is a 22-lb lighter apparatus that handles like a champ, aided by Showa's aces new Big Piston Fork. Doubly absorbing is that the Ninja took top ceremoniousness on both the artery and clue – no beggarly feat. Triumph's Daytona 675 gives the ZX a run for its money, but amid four-cylinder middleweights, the awful and active Ninja stands acutely at the top of this ultra-competitive heap.
