The middleweight class wars are hotter than ever. And with the new,
technologically superior, lighter and faster Ninja® ZX-6RR, bragging rights
belong to Kawasaki. The limited-production 599cc ZX-6RR is designed to be
the next National and World SuperSport champion. The slimmer, GP-style
bodywork hides a lightweight, ultra short-stroke engine with forged racing
pistons, electronic fuel injection, slipper clutch, close-ratio gearbox and
15,500 rpm redline. While the pressed aluminum frame doubles as the Ram Air
intake and carries an adjustable swingarm pivot. Plus for the first time in
the 600cc production class, an inverted cartridge fork and radial-mounted
front brake callipers. How serious is it? The ZX-6RR even includes a racing
bar-type LCD tachometer and a built-in lap timer. So don’t let the
competition beat you to the punch. Get aboard the ZX-6RR, and let them see
tail. Yours.
The new Kawasaki NINJA® ZX-6RR sportbike marks a dramatic departure from the
broad-spectrum appeal of the earlier Ninja sportbikes, giving the bike a
much stronger track bias. The limited edition street-legal ZX-6RR boasts
aggressive race-worthy features -including engine, chassis, riding position
and overall performance upgrades oriented towards serious sport riding,
track days or full-on racing. Designed with the expert and professional
racer in mind, this new generation motorcycle is destined to dominate
Supersport racing around the world.
Features:
• All-new aerodynamic front fairing helps direct air flow into the new
centrally located Ram Air intake system.
• Single gauge instrumentation keeps things light. Digital speedometer
surrounded by radial tachometer. Shift indicator lamp with two brightness
settings can be manually set at 250 rpm increments above 12,000 rpm.
• Radially-mounted 280mm front disc brakes, a first on a production
motorcycle, feature a lighter yet stronger 4-piston calliper for incredible
stopping power, rigidity and excellent brake feel. Individual brake pads for
each piston reduce heat distortion.
• Built-in lap timer works much like a regular stopwatch that can record up
to 99 laps. Start/stop is on the right handlebar switch, while the lap
button is on the left.
• Ninja ZX-6RR performance features include over-square 67 x 42.5mm bore and
stroke for excellent peak power potential.
• Special 3-ring forged pistons weigh less for less reciprocating mass and
reduced friction.
• Back-torque limiter or slipper-style clutch helps prevent rear wheel hop
during heavy deceleration.
• Adjustable swingarm pivot point mounting bracket allows for minor
adjustment to suit track conditions.
• Remote reservoir rear shock fully adjustable for compression and rebound
damping, spring preload and ride height.
• The 599cc Ninja ZX-6RR includes a narrow 25° included valve angle. 4-valve
67mm combustion chamber with an ultra-short 42.5mm stroke for higher rev
potential. 13.0:1 high compression. Adjustable cam timing with slotted
sprockets.
• Huge 25mm hollow front axle with twin pinch bolts for light weight and
added rigidity.
• Lighter, more compact yet exceptionally strong and rigid all-aluminum
twin-sparperimeter frame with cylinder head mounts.
• Electronic fuel injection with 38mm throttle bodies reduces emissions and
improves throttle response.
• All-new, lighter, centrally located Ram Air induction system increases air
intake efficiency at all bike angles.
• High-speed ECU digital ignition processor and individual coils for each
spark plug.
• New shorter throw shift lever for the 6-speed transmission that features
closer gear ratios from third to sixth to help maximize performance
potential.
• 41mm fully adjustable inverted cartridge fork features stepless
compression and rebound adjustment plus threaded spring preload.
• Aerodynamic fairing is inspired by our GP program.
