Our take on this /// Verdict

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is a powerhouse of a motorcycle that delivers an exhilarating riding experience, especially for those who crave the thrill of a supersport bike. The 636cc inline-four cylinder engine, though slightly tweaked for 2024 to meet stricter emission norms, still packs a punch with its dramatic acceleration and a soundtrack that is nothing short of mesmerizing. Once you cross the 6,000rpm mark, the bike transforms into a beast, offering brutal acceleration and precision handling that inspires confidence even at high speeds. The quickshifter is seamless, although the absence of an auto-blipper is a minor drawback. The bikes handling is exceptional, thanks to its beautifully engineered perimeter frame, Showa suspension, and sticky Diablo Rosso 4 tyres. However, the aggressive riding position and tall seat height can be physically demanding, especially in city traffic. Overall, the ZX-6R is a standout performer in the supersport segment, ideal for riders who are looking for an adrenaline-packed experience on both the track and the open road.

Price

In India, the 2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is priced competitively, considering its performance and features. The ex-showroom price for the ZX-6R is around Rs 12 lakh to Rs 13 lakh, depending on the region and any additional features or accessories. On-road prices can vary significantly due to state-specific taxes and other costs, but you can expect to pay somewhere between Rs 14 lakh to Rs 16 lakh. This pricing positions the ZX-6R as a premium offering in the supersport segment, but given its exceptional performance, handling, and the brands reputation, it is well worth the investment for serious motorcycle enthusiasts. The price also reflects the bikes advanced technology, including its quickshifter, traction control, and ABS, making it a solid choice for those seeking a high-performance riding experience.

Latest Updates

Saturday, 28 September 2024 05:53 AM Kawasaki is homologating the 2025 model year Ninja ZX-6R for competition use in the WorldSSP Championship, marking a significant shift from its current 599cc capacity to 636cc. This change aims to align the race bike more closely with the production model available in dealerships, enhancing torque and horsepower. The move is part of Kawasakis strategy to keep the Ninja ZX-6R competitive in the global racing series. I believe this update will make the bike even more appealing to both track and street riders.

Thursday, 19 September 2024 04:08 PM The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R will feature several key updates, including a bi-directional quick shifter (KQS) as standard, which allows for clutchless upshifts and downshifts, enhancing both performance and stability. Additionally, the bike will benefit from improved suspension tuning and more precise cornering capabilities. These updates are designed to make the ZX-6R a superior choice for both track and street use. I think these changes will significantly improve the riding experience, especially for those who frequently switch between street and track riding.

Monday, 16 September 2024 11:09 AM For the 2024 model year, the Kawasaki ZX-6R has been optimized for more road-focused performance, with revised engine internals that shift power from the top-end to the low-to-mid RPM range. This adjustment is largely due to stricter emissions standards, particularly in Europe. The bike also features new circular brake rotors and a 4.3-inch TFT color display. I believe these changes make the ZX-6R more practical for everyday riding while still offering enough performance for track enthusiasts.

Monday, 16 September 2024 09:59 PM The 2024 Kawasaki ZX-6R is the last remaining 600cc supersport bike that meets Euro 5 emissions standards, making it unique in its class.

Monday, 16 September 2024 02:05 PM Kawasaki has introduced new front fairing styling for the 2024 ZX-6R, including new LED headlights, a reshaped air intake, and a more pronounced spoiler. The bike also features a new 4.3-inch TFT color display and standard round front brake discs replacing the old petal-style discs. These updates give the ZX-6R a more contemporary look and improved functionality. I believe these aesthetic and functional changes will appeal to both new and existing fans of the Ninja series.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 03:09 AM The mileage of the 2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is not its strongest suit, which is typical for a high-performance supersport bike. With its powerful 636cc engine, the ZX-6R is designed for speed and agility rather than fuel efficiency. In city riding conditions, you can expect a mileage of around 10-12 kmpl, while on the highway, it might slightly improve to around 15-18 kmpl. However, these numbers can vary significantly based on riding style, traffic conditions, and how aggressively you ride the bike. For riders who prioritize performance over fuel efficiency, the ZX-6Rs mileage will be a minor trade-off for the exhilarating experience it offers.
