The Ninja ZX-6R supersport takes on the world’s ultimate proving grounds for high octane two-wheel performance. From a ravenous 636cc engine to an innovative traction control system, the Ninja ZX-6R is well equipped with advanced features to take on some of the world’s toughest sections of track at the Isle of Man.
On the streets or at the Isle of Man, the 2013 Ninja® ZX™-6R has all the right tools to punish the competition. Equipped with the undeniable power that can only be produced from extra displacement, the Ninja ZX-6R makes no apologies for packing a 636cc engine in a 599cc class. It embodies all the qualities of its predecessors and combines them with new technologies to ensure the Ninja’s position at the forefront of the middleweight class.
Invincible Power Ignite a ravenous 636cc engine. The Ninja ZX-6R ups the ante with a substantial increase in torque throughout the powerband, reducing the 599cc bikes in its class to second place at best.
Designed to make an unmistakable impression, the Ninja® ZX™-6R sports all-new aggressive bodywork and a redesigned front fairing resembling the Ninja® ZX™-10R. Glance down at a combination of purposefully-designed analog and digital instrumentation for an essential readout of the bike’s functions in true supersport quickness. Adjust To Perfection The new Showa Separate Function Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) allows riders to freely adjust its handling characteristics. Stick to stock settings or tweak and tweak again to suit your personal riding style and needs.
Supreme Traction Optimize traction and acceleration with Kawasaki Traction Control. Three selectable modes, each programmed with a different setting, help provide maximum traction with some degree of slippage for sport riding and rider assurance by facilitating smooth riding on slippery surfaces. Power. On Your Terms. Riding conditions change, but the Ninja ZX-6R adapts. Switch to low power when faced with adverse weather like rain. When you’re ready to go all out, return to full power mode and let it loose.
Become One With Your Machine It takes endurance to be invincible. The Ninja ZX-6R’s F.C.C. clutch with assist and slipper function reduces wheel-hop on downshifts. Your hands feel less fatigued and the barriers between man and machine are gone.
Armed with a 1,441cc engine that packs more power than any other production sportbike on the planet, the 2013 Ninja® ZX™-14R continues its reign of dominance. Stay ahead of the pack, or stay out of the way.
The World’s Most Powerful Power is the ultimate weapon in the Ninja ZX-6R motorcycle’s arsenal. With a massive 1,441cc power plant that packs more power than any other production sportbike in the world, the sound alone can send the competition racing back home.
Jaw-dropping power without any sacrifices. The Ninja® ZX™-14R’s backtorque limiting clutch helps minimize rear wheel hop when downshifting and helps keep corner entry more precise. Compromise is simply not an option. Traction Within Your Control A three-mode traction control system with three selectable modes, each programmed with a different setting, help provide maximum traction with some degree of slippage for sport riding, and rider assurance by facilitating smooth riding on slippery surfaces. The Ninja ZX-14R supersport reigns drag strips and closed courses with modes 1 and 2, and asserts its dominance on the streets with mode 3. Traction control can also be turned off completely to unleash its uninhibited potential. Dominate in Different Conditions Even against slick surfaces, busy streets, and adverse weather conditions, there’s no stopping the Ninja ZX-14R. Selectable power modes let you toggle between low and full power modes as riding conditions change—without sacrificing any low-end power.
Amazingly Light Weight Meets Massive Power It takes precise handling to tame the Ninja ZX-14R’s massive power. A monocoque aluminum frame is impressively lightweight and produces light handling characteristics typically unexpected of such high displacement bikes. Get Comfortable With Winning Power and comfort combine in the Ninja ZX-14R. Its gunfighter seat design provides room to lean as well as hip support during quick acceleration. To keep it all cool, thoughtfully-shaped bodywork is aerodynamic and pushes heat away from the rider. See It. Fear It. Trademark quad-projector beam headlights provide the ultimate stare down, a pronounced rear seat cowl exudes boldness, and intimidating dual exhaust pipes keep the challengers at bay. The Ninja ZX-14R is designed to drop run times as well as jaws.
We took proven racing technologies and built the definitive supersport bike. The NinjaŽ ZX™ -10R leaves no part un-perfected for an unparalleled experience in performance and design.
Corner Assault The key to faster lap times? Precision cornering. The horizontal back-link rear suspension puts the rear shock (adjustable for high/low-speed compression) above the swingarm for more centralized mass. Enter and exit every curve and hairpin with absolute confidence and no hesitation.
Own the track with an unyielding 998cc in-line four engine. The NinjaŽ ZX™-10R leads the pack with its S-KTRC traction control for optimized power delivery and throttle response. The result? Maximum acceleration and minimum competition. Big Stopping Power The Ninja ZX-10R packs plenty of stopping power for aggressive corner entry. The 310mm petal brakes work in tandem with a 43mm Showa Big Piston Fork to increase brake compression. Attack every apex with precision and fearlessness. Lighten-Up The Ninja ZX-10R is lighter than ever thanks to an aluminum frame. Existing parts were lightened to reduce weight and to hurtle this bike straight to the front of the pack.
Race-Ready Technology With MotoGP inspired instrumentation, the Ninja ZX-10R feeds the most critical information in an uncomplicated way. Keep track of performance with a lap timer and stay firmly in touch with the road with traction control settings. Toggle the all-digital readout to race mode to center the gear display and immerse yourself in every heart-pounding moment.
