An evolution of the 2007/2008 Ninja ZX-6R, the 2009 model ZX-6R takes the performance of its track oriented predecessor to a higher level. Development of the rider active package focused on offering riders more precise control. Changes to engine and chassis for enhanced controllability result in a confidence-inspiring character that enables a calm assuredness as high-level riding is pursued. And it is this ability to push harder, to be able to extract this bike’s full potential – while firmly retaining control that makes the new Ninja ZX-6R so exciting to ride.

New high performance engine
Engine development focused as much on controllability as performance gain. Throttle response is silky smooth, delivering precise control at all rpm. While the high-rpm performance of the previous model is maintained, powerful mid-range torque means stronger, grin-inducing drive out of corners.

New BPF Front Fork
The new Ninja ZX-6R features the first production-use of Showa’s BPF (Big Piston Front fork). The greater control over the initial part of the fork stroke, combined with Kawasaki’s already potent triple petal disc brake package and highly effective slipper clutch, result in superb chassis stability when reducing speed on corner entry.

Lighter Weight
In addition to the more flickable handling, our engineers wanted to make the new bike as light as possible. All engine and chassis parts were reevaluated to reduce weight. The new Ninja ZX-6R has a curb mass approximately 10 kg lighter than its predecessor.
