Best sportbike of 2009 – Kawasaki ZX-6R

PiPi — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 19:54:38 +0000

Kawasaki ZX-6R is the class-leading morocycle in 2009.

The middleweight class’s relatively low buy-in results in the largest amount of sales among sportbikes, so there isn’t a segment of motorcycles more keenly contested among manufacturers. When Kawasaki introduced the ZX-6R in 1995, it was the first middleweight sport bike, since the 1992 GSXR600 with a frame of aluminum . The Kawasaki ZX-6R had a dry weight of 182.0 kg and wet weight of 206 kg. This motorcycle is capable of accelerating from zero to 97 km/h in only 3.7 seconds. Costly (to the OEMs) updates to the 600s arrive every two years in a never-ending quest to one-up their rivals. And it’s for these reasons why the ZX-6R is so redoubtable. Kawasaki has built a motor that handily out-guns its 600cc rivals, but just as impressive is a 22-lb lighter machine that handles like a champ, aided by Showa’s fabulous new Big Piston Fork. The Kawasaki ZX-6R has perhaps the best modulated front brakes in the motorcycle world. Doubly impressive is that the Ninja took top honors on both the street and track – no mean feat. Triumph’s Daytona 675 gives the ZX a run for its money, but among four-cylinder middleweights, the nasty and nimble Ninja stands clearly at the top of this ultra-competitive heap.
