Power. Speed. Treatment. Domination. The Ninja ZX-6R ® ™ packs all this and more in its 599cc engine, twin-spar aluminum frame and Showa suspension advanced. Whether you're a road rider or racer, this bike has the kind of powerful force that will satisfy even the most demanding enthusiasts.
The ZX-6R 2012 continues the tradition of domination Middleweight - began in 1985 with the revolutionary ZX600-A1 - a staggering degree. And in the ultra-competitive supersport 600 market today, where technology, circuit street bike and understanding of success can change dramatically from year to year, which is saying something. Do not believe us? Ask the many high level magazines and websites that the current ZX-6R specifications chosen as the best middleweight. 600 shooting was totally dominated - and no doubt will be repeated in 2012 as a result of the track-tuned ZX-6R the DNA and the ability to seamlessly every aspect.
This DNA is initiated with a 16-valve DOHC four-stroke engine that has everything a top-shelf power of average weight should be: powerful, smooth, and blessed them with a hammer-like reliability. Critics everywhere agree with the ZX-6R runs and behaves like a larger displacement bike, and a rolling chassis handles outside and everyone else out of the package stops. It's a perfect combination for riders of the street, both addicts and track day riders, a flexibility that helps explain many compare 600 victories.
It all starts with the ZX-6R, the engine like a jewel, a collection of everything you know about Kawasaki 599cc engine building, and the result of countless hours of testing and refinement met the fourth test for the up and back. Squeeze the great powers of the small displacement of Kawasaki is a strength for many years, from 350cc to 500cc A7 Avenger H1, and the first 600 to the latter Ninja ZX-6R, the first power is a sport bike Kawasaki birthright .
And no sharper than high-end power, too. The engine of the two camshafts, 16 valves, 13.3:1 compression and 38 mm throttle bodies produce the kind of uniform low-end and midrange power for handling the traffic, surface streets and driving daily in a pleasant affair. Add to that beautiful liquid smooth throttle response and steering feel and has a supersport bike path ways that match their skills easily track phenomenal.
Many smooth power delivery and rheostat-like is achieved through outstanding combustion efficiency. Cylindrical guides at the top of the air box, the cost of fuel directly to assist in the input channels to reduce vibration and to improve the cylinder charge. Advanced carry head hits the air / fuel mixture load in and out of the combustion chamber after the tip, while metastases high current in the coils to provide hot spark consisting of all combustion engine speeds for maximum impact. The engine midrange performance also benefits from double speed stacks in diameter with entrances at two different heights, special piston profile with low tension piston ring to reduce friction and advanced cam chain guides to the highest degree of stabilization of the chain chamber.
This ultra-strong midrange power not only the arm to stretch the corners of the station. It also offers unmatched manageability and a sort of throttle control must big dividends when making mid-corner power adjustments, while stringing a few angles along a secondary road serpentine in all negotiations hard to become your favorite track.
According to its racing heritage, the ZX-6R employs a cassette-type transmission that simplifies preparing changes to the circuit, making the preparation time and more time for riding. A slipper clutch of high technology - hardware usually only on racing bikes high end - makes an effort downshifts when diving in slow corners of the high speed without upsetting the chassis.
Chassis Control is, of course, the other half of the comparison of 600 supersport, and the new ZX-6R to dominating the field with class-exclusive Big Piston forks, fully adjustable shock, the ideal engine positioning, optimum frame rigidity and the latest in mass centralization.
Lean physique of the Ninja ZX-6R is essential for top management, with each component carefully analyzed for minimum weight. Thus, the intake resonator box and supports for the instrument panel and mirrors are closely linked with the wide - Ram Air duct, which both helps to save weight and improved rigidity - to optimize intake volume. Camshafts are lightweight chrome-molybdenum, and magnesium engine covers also help to shed pounds. The internal components of engine and transmission, oil pump and starter gears are carefully designed for maximum strength and minimum weight.
If less weight is large, the top shelf suspension control technology is even better, and packs enough ZX-6R. A perfect example is the ZX-6R's revolutionary integrated Showa BPF (Big Piston Front fork) front suspension, which is a technological breakthrough beyond the fork cartridge type used in other 600. The magic behind the front fork is large piston of the piston of larger inner diameter, resulting in reduced pressure gives better feedback damping and smoother motion frontal - in particular when braking, and the first angled . Furthermore, the BPF eliminates many of the internal components used in a fork cartridge type, which simplifies the construction and resulting in an overall lighter weight fork. The result is greater control and better response, just what you need while ripping through your favorite right-hander for a track day, or tip-toeing along the rain slicked back in way back home from work.
Suspension of return is just as advanced, and includes a gas-charged shock with dual-range (low and high speed) compression damping constant, 25-way adjustable rebound and spring preload fully adjustable, with a rear Uni-Trak ® system.
Hailed by the package Kawasaki triple petal disc - with radial calipers mounted on the front - as sophisticated and powerful as ever. Very tough four-piston calipers and rotors of 300 mm petal provide awesome power and an excellent driving experience. The type of 220mm rear petal disc is equipped with a pedal mounted coaxially with footrest for extra mid-stroke braking efficiency and optimal pedal feedback. The installation of master cylinder reservoir before the swingarm, freeing up space around the foot, reducing parts and contributing to weight savings. It comes down to the imperturbable calm under braking and helps determine the precise control and feel that allows Supersport riders to enter corners harder - and every day drivers to slow things comfortable and controllable.
For the best benefit of this knowledge of the lightness and precise control response, ergonomics 6R has been reset to information to improve the bike for the driver and vice versa. The relationship of seat-peg bars placed near the driver's wheel, a corner for a very intuitive cockpit. The fuel tank cover is so burned around the top edge, a large contact surface and contribute to an excellent rider feedback - similar to the new ZX-10R. A rear subframe and seat movement took a narrow thin, highly flexible cycling position, and a shorter distance from the pavement.
A highly refined cabin and a piece of Fender provide excellent aerodynamics and airflow to the radiator, along with excellent wind protection for the rider and crosswinds minimal tremor. An inner rear fender mounted above the swingarm reduces turbulence and allows the rear of the bike aerodynamically clean. The ZX-6R on the instrument panel offers lots of information at a glance, while a race-spec twin-tube adjustable Öhlins steering damper with relief valve allows the track-ready package.
It's all here: power, handling, light weight, typical of advanced technology and reliability Honda - exactly what you need to complete the circuit, to dominate the mean streets - or both.
