NINJA ZX-6R
In 2007, the Ninja
®
ZX
™
-6R achieved the most difficult challenge in American road racing by winning the AMA Daytona 200. Then
Roger Hayden capped off the year by winning the AMA Supersport Championship closely followed by teammate Jamie Hacking
in second place. Now, the 2008 Ninja ZX-6R continues Kawasaki’s fiery dominance with its championship-winning blend of
midrange thrust and high-rpm horsepower from its ultra-compact 599cc DOHC In-Line Four engine with Ram Air induction and
digital fuel injection. Its intuitive handling comes from a lightweight twin-spar aluminum perimeter frame, tunable inverted fork
and Bottom-Link UNI-TRAK
®
rear suspension—while the wind-tunnel-sculpted bodywork helps get the rider out of the airstream.
The ZX-6R is so track focused, it even comes with a lap timer, pre-wiring for an auto-shift kit, a slipper clutch, and a quick-
change cassette-type transmission. Now all it needs is you.
1 Large 300mm front brakes feature
lightweight, drilled, petal-shaped rotors
with radial-mounted 4-piston calipers
for class-leading stopping power, rigidity
and brake feel. Direct-actuation master
cylinder improves linear braking response
and braking feel at the lever.
• The Ninja ZX-6R captured the closely fought
2007 AMA Supersport Championship with Roger
Hayden closely followed by teammate Jamie
Hacking in second place. And with Steve Rapp
on board, it sped away with the prestigious
Daytona 200. That sums up the intent of the
2008 ZX-6R—a machine designed to rule race
tracks the world over.
2 A bright, centrally located tachometer with
gear position indicator dominates the view
in the cockpit. The digital speedometer
and warning lamps mount to either side of
the tach.
• The high-performance engine displaces 599cc
and includes the race-bred short throttle bodies
advantage that helps deliver improved top end
and over-rev. Ultra-fine atomizing injectors
improve combustion efficiency for instantaneous
yet smooth power delivery.
• The close-ratio, cassette-style transmission
employs a Gear Position Sensor and a back-
torque-limiting clutch for smooth deceleration.
3 The centrally located under-seat exhaust
system helps keep the center of gravity
low by mounting a pre-chamber down low
behind the engine.
• The smooth and narrow fairing incorporates a
MotoGP-style intake duct that directs airflow
into the central Ram Air system for improved
intake efficiency. Recessed projector beam
headlights improve aerodynamics.
• The fully adjustable 41mm inverted fork locates
the main springs at the bottom of the leg where
they are completely submerged in fork oil for
reduced cavitation.
