Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R reviews

This year's model Ninja ZX-6R 636 is probably the best made by far. It's dual headlights with air ram intake between them look wicked! With the undertail pipe, the bike looks nice and sleek from front to back. This bike not only looks good but it rides just as good as it looks. With top speeds at a little over 170 mph. and 124 hp. at 12,500 rpm., this bike is a beast!!! It handles well and is comfortable. I just took it up to the mountians last weekend with a few buddies and couldn't believe how I kept up with my buddies. They all ride 1000cc-750cc. For a bike as heavy and bulky as it is, it's freakin' fast! Show less

I got the ZX-9R a year ago. It had 13k miles on it and I put 11k on it. The power is awesome. The seat from stock was replaced with a Corbin which made a big differance on my butt. The brakes are weaker than say a CBR but once you get used to squishing or pushing the levers and peddle, it's OK. I been getting around 45-51 mpg.'s depending on how much throttle I use. It's a comfy ride. There's a big tank so you can go a little farther. There is no fuel gauge so have to use the trip meter. Show less

I love this bike. It is simply amazing. It is quick, fast and in a hurry. It's very high quality. Kawasaki, you rock. Show less

This was my first bike and I love it so much. But I want to get a 1000 like my brother, something with a lot of power!! Show less

I purchased this motorcycle last year and it has a few issues with it because the owner had it sitting in the garage for a really long time. Once I cleaned the carbs, replaced the chain, and put some new tires on it, it proved to be very reliable and stable in corners and in a straight line. I even had one of the pilot jets fall out while I was riding and it only idled high allowing me to get home. It's very easy to work on and even easier to find parts for given it is a 1993 model. It has nice features like not having to remove the forks to change the oil. There is a drain at the botton of the fork tube so you can do everything in the driveway with the aid of a couple of stands. The stock seat is very comfortable and the only complaint I have is that it pushes you into the tank because of the slope. The head lamp gives really good visibility at night in low and high beam. The clutch releases very well and the brakes are very powerful. This motorcycle was made in an era when motorcycles were made to have better features than the competition rather than a lighter weight. If you have a chance to get one, just look at the gas tank because they are metal and may have some rust through. There is no fuel pump so less stuff to fail on a long ride. Show less

I owned this bike and it was great. I used it to ease back into riding/racing and traded this one in for the ZX10R here. I had this bike for approximately one year. It has great handling and throttle response, the corner handling was superb at high speeds but a little slow out of the turn for me. It could be user error but I doubt it. It is a user friendly bike and I reccomend it for new riders as well as women who like to ride. Show less

I'm still in the break in period so I have to give this bike a "5" on everything. I used to ride a GSXR 750, but hadn't ridden in a while until I got the 650R a couple of weeks ago. Ergos are perfect for me. It's been running smooth and flawless the few times I've been able to get out (still a little cold here). Overall it's a great bike I would recommend to anyone. Show less

I picked up this bike used with 6,800 miles on it, and it's probably the most fun I've ever had on the open road. There are definitely more powerful bikes out there, but this thing accelerates fast enough to get you in trouble in a heart beat, and when you're on the highway in top gear, it's not even turning half its RPM range. If you're looking to upgrade from a 250, or even if you're a responsible rider looking for a first bike, this one is predictable and easy to ride quick. Show less

I have been in the motorcycle industry for 22 years and I like all kinds of motorcycles. My 2009 (same as 2010 and 2011) ZX6R Ninja is the best bike I have ever owned. It is more than fast enough for street riding, handles great stops great, looks great and has not had a single hiccup since I bought it. Every time I ride it, I ride at least 100 miles. In my opinion it's the best 600cc motorcycle on the market today. Oh, and most of the magazines agree with me! Show less

I bought it for commuting since gas is $3.50 and climbing. My BMW K1200RS only gets 40 mpg. but this thing gets 65-70, WOW! The engine revs very high so I put a 15t front and a 41t rear sprocket on and it's a dream on the freeway now. I should say the seat is not too comfy and will be upgrading it soon. Overall, I am truly impressed with it and would recommend it to anyone. By the way, I have been an avid rider for many years and it is fun for the beginner or expert. Kudos Kawasaki!! Show less
