Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R Reviews

OK, as these forums helped me pick my bike I thought I should contribute. 12 years driving poxy little Fiestas and Puntos = total lack of enjoyment. 1 month owning second hand ZX6R 2001 J1 = Yeeeeehaaaaaaa! Despite being a "sports" bike this machine is fine for people returning to 2 wheels. Just be ...  Read the complete review

After learning to ride and riding an old Kawasaki GT550 (briefly I moved on to a Suzuki GSX750. This was a beast but nothing compared to my 2004 Kawasaki ZX6r 636. From the moment I set eyes on the bike sitting in the shop I loved it. It just looked mean, it's sharp headlights and gold grilled air intake between the front lights and the standard ...  Read the complete review

I bought my ZX6R G1 after test riding a brand new Yamaha R6. I was disappointed by the R6's lack of slow speed manoeuvrabilty, a fault that I found almost immediately after trying to pull up to a petrol pump. I bet they've kept the CCTV footage for future mailing to Lisa Riley! A used ZXR6R is a bargain at the moment. It has ...  Read the complete review

I bought my ZX-6R brand spanking new in May 98 at £6600 which was a snip then. It was one of the first G1 models, that was when Kawasaki revised the model substantially from the F3 I think. You can tell the difference because the F3 is squarer in appearance. Anyway, I held on to it for nearly a year in which I did eleven thousand miles ...  Read the complete review

I've had a Kawasaki ZX6-R F1, F3, and now a G1. From the very first time I jumped on the old F1 five years ago I've felt the buzz of the engine, the roar of the intake, and the gut wrenching acceleration is second to none for value. Yes, there are faster bikes, and yes, there are more comfortable bikes, but not at this price, and ...  Read the complete review

Well, this is my second Ninja ( The first was a 98 model) I've had my Y2K ZX6-R just over 13 months now, done 5500 miles on it( 3000 of them across Spain twice! and back through France after going to the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez!!) Not one ounce of trouble from it the whole way.. now thats reliability! I had a Micron race can put ...  Read the complete review

When chosing my new bike i had to make sure it was the right machine for me, given that I was returning to biking after a long period and technology had changed somewhat in the intervening years. As I wanted a sports bike that would cope with my inexperience I had to make a decision between the Honda CBR600f and the Kawasaki ZX6R Ninja. I ...  Read the complete review

I've been biking for 12 years and owned a range of toys - my ZX is undoubtedly the best I've come across. Bought the first 95 model with 2 years/5000 miles on the clock and have used it for everything since then - commuting, trackdays and long distance touring. Fabulous bike, never failed to start (or stop!) nothing has gone ...  Read the complete review

I have owned two ZX-6R and have been biking for around 5 years. The bike I wanted was purely for fun and the ZX-6R fits perfectly in this category. Since stepping up from the 125cc bike I had when I passed my test I found the ZX-6R to have great manners and is pretty forgiving to the less able rider. That said I find the handling to be second ...  Read the complete review

I bought a ZX6R-G1 from new in May98. Yes I was one of the last suckers, to pay over the odds for a bike. I can get the new 2000 model for £6000. However that out of the way, I would say the bike has been as good as all the magazine reviews, it was crowned King of the 600's in 98/99 beating the favourite CBR with a big stick. The ZX ...  Read the complete review
