2008 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R

In 2008, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, a true race-winner that captured first and second place in the 2007 Daytona 200 and also first and second places in the 2007 AMA Supersport Championship, thanks to the combination of 600cc-class power and GP handling.

The Ninja ZX-6R featured an engine designed for minimal internal friction with more responsive acceleration. With stronger, stiffer, and more compact engine components than its predecessors, the bike ended up with a more slim, compact engine and chassis.

In the bodywork department, the bike featured the most aerodynamic design of any Ninja sportbike available at the time, with a three-piece front fender, a small but effective ram air duct, and integrated headlights and turn signals that enhanced the drag resistance.

For suspension, the bike packed a fully-adjustable 41 mm inverted cartridge fork that offered great rigidity on the front and a Uni-Trak fully-adjustable shock absorber on the rear with a small piggyback reservoir designed for weight saving.

In the power department, the 2008 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R had its heartbeat set by a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 125 hp with a peak at 14,000 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) of torque available at 11,700 rpm.

All the power produced by the engine, combined with a dry weight of 167 kg (368 lbs) and a six-speed manual transmission, resulted in a top speed of 252 kph (156 mph).

As for stopping power, the model packed two 300 mm discs squeezed by four-piston calipers on the front and a 210 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear.
