Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 40th Anniversary Edition

In terms of dimension, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 40th Anniversary Edition measures 2,025 mm in length, 710 mm in width, 1,105 mm in overall height, and 830 mm in seat height. This middleweight sportbike also has a wheelbase of 1,400 mm and a ground clearance of 130 mm.

As previously mentioned, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 40th Anniversary Edition flaunts the original ZXR series’ colour scheme, which radiates immense energy and confidence on the road. Its front end, which resembles a hawk, is illuminated by assertive-looking LED headlights and side fairing-mounted signal lights. This sportbike comes with a small transparent windscreen and sturdy mirrors finished in black. Additionally, its gold front fork adds more detail and warmth to its front design.

Feature-wise, the rider gets a full-colour TFT screen with a digital speedometer, digital bar-style tachometer, gear position indicator, odometer, as well as a riding mode indicator, among others. Its TFT screen also supports smartphone connectivity. Its dual-stepped seat offers good cushioning and ergonomics for the rider, but is a bit thin and narrow for the pillion. On the plus side, this sportbike is fitted with metal pillion foot rests and rubber foot pegs, which make low-speed filters more convenient for both parties. 

Going back to the design. Its lime green-painted 17-inch wheels and silver frame and swingarm blend well with its aggressive, bright-coloured side profile. A 40th Anniversary emblem is proudly displayed on top of its bulky fuel tank. Aside from that, this sportbike features a huge Kawasaki logo on its side fairing.

Meanwhile, at the back, it features an LED tail light finished in a shuriken-like shape, giving it a distinct hindlook at night. Like other Ninja models, it also sports Kawasaki’s signature two-tone exhaust pipe with a sleek silver tip.

In terms of suspension, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 40th Anniversary Edition is equipped with an Inverted Fork (SFF-BP) at the front and a Bottom-Link Uni Trak at the rear. This setup is credited for this sportbike’s sharp and precise handling on sharp turns and challenging winding roads in the provincial areas. It delivers excellent grip and control both on the racetrack and on the highway. Meanwhile, in the city, this middleweight sportbike is fairly nimble to maneuver for its size, showing that it is a feasible everyday motorcycle.

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 40th Anniversary Edition is powered by a 636cc 4-stroke, in-line four, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine that delivers 122 hp of maximum power and 68 Nm of maximum torque. This sportbike comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission gearbox and offers multiple power modes.

This sportbike can get up to speed smoothly and effortlessly, thanks to its Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS). The rider can seamlessly perform upshifts and downshifts on this sportbike. It also produces an exciting roar as you go up the rev range, catching the attention of fellow riders and casual bystanders alike. Additionally, the Ninja ZX-6R 40th Anniversary Edition also delivers reasonable fuel economy for its class.

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 40th Anniversary Edition is equipped with dual semi-floating disc brakes with radial-mounted 4-piston calipers at the front and a single disc brake with a single-bore pin-slide aluminum-piston caliper at the rear. Its braking setup is supported by Kawasaki’s Intelligent Anti-Lock Brake System (KIBS). This sportbike also comes with an assist and slipper clutch feature and a Kawasaki Traction Control system (KTRC), among others.
