2001 Kawasaki ZX-6R, RNOFor those seeking sportbike performance with comfort, civilized manners and an affordable price, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6 delivers. It has the performance of a 600cc SuperSport champion while its low seat height, spacious cockpit and wide power spread make the ZX-6 an excellent all-around, street-going motorcycle.
The ZX-6 is powered by a compact 599cc liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine that shares some features with the high-performance, AMA 600cc Super sport competition-winning ZX-6R power plant. Dual overhead cams actuate four extra-light valves per cylinder. Kawasaki Straight-Shot ports combine with the narrow valve stems to produce free-flowing, less turbulent intake for quick throttle response.
