most stylish middle weight sports bike Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R

When it comes to performance, no class is more competitive than middleweight sportbikes. To stand out in this crowd, a motorcycle needs to do everything better than well — it needs to kick serious tail in every department. Hats off to the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R then, winner of 600cc comparison tests in just about every publication and website of note on the planet. With an engine the critics agree feels bigger than 599cc, and a chassis that out handles all others, the ZX-6R returns as the bike to beat in 2010.
• Lean physique, low-mass, awesome power delivery and precise control

• Frame stiffness around the swingarm pivot and the rear engine mounts optimizes front-rear rigidity balance

• Engine is rotated forward around the output shaft for steeper intake angle and excellent CG

• Exhaust layout with a short side muffler keeps the weight low

• Exhaust pre-chamber further contributes to mass centralization

• Highly evolved fairing for great wind protection, minimal cross-wind effects

• Position lamps are integral with the projector beam headlights; the Ninja ZX-6R features dual position lamps like the ZX-10R

• One-piece fender offers excellent aerodynamics

• Inner fender above the swingarm helps to reduce turbulence and keeps the undertail clean

• Front brake hose routing with a three-way joint at the lower triple-clamp facilitates bleeding air from the brake lines

• Similar in design to that of the ZX-10R, the instrument panel gives at-a-glance information to the rider
