RIDE REVIEW I 2024 KAWASAKI NINJA ZX-6R
P110
With that in mind, it may seem
surprising that Kawasaki has chosen
to remain stagnant by keeping their
supersport machine at 636cc, rather
than pump some development into it
and boost it to 700cc or more to remain
competitive with the new breed of rides.
Yet Kawasaki is committed to the 636
platform, which has rightly earned its place
in Kawasaki folklore as a dependable, rela
-
tively affordable performance sport bike.
You'll
not see a return to the ZX-7R any time
soon, which is a downright shame
in my book.
The beginning price
of the 2024 Kawa-
saki ZX-6R is $11,299, $600 up on the '23
model.
That's for the one without ABS and
KRT-style paint, and it goes up from there.
There are actually 12 different 6Rs you can
buy—the black, white and KRT models, each
in ABS or non-ABS, plus six California-spe
-
cific models, again, in ABS or non-ABS.
The '24
6R certainly looks meaner than
the long-nose '23 model did. Sleeker LED
headlights and indicators adorn the front
end, and if you squint really hard, there
are cues of the very first 636 from 2003.
(I said squint really hard.)
(Above) Same, same,
but slightly different
for 2024. (Below) New
4.3-inch TFT dash
gives you access to
the Kawasaki
Rideology app.
