The Kawasaki ZZR600, also known as ZX-6 on Ninja 600, was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki from 1990 until 2008, when it was replaced by the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R.

In the European market, the bike was sold as the ZZR600 and packed the same 599cc engine from 1990 until 2004, while from 2005 to 2008, it was powered by the engine from the 2004 Kawasaki ZX-4R.

The Kawasaki ZZR600 was manufactured over three generations. The first generation was made from 1990 to 2002, the second from 2003 to 2004, and the third was manufactured from 2005 to 2008.

The 2003 motorcycle packed standard features, such as a full fairing with parts of the engine left in plain sight, a rectangular headlight, a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and three-spoke aluminum wheels.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 1993 Kawasaki ZZR600 had installed a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by Keihin carburetors, delivering 98 hp at 11,500 rpm and 62 Nm (46 lb-ft) torque at 9,500 rpm.

In the braking department, the bike packed two 310 mm discs tied to four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 250 mm floating disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, providing excellent stopping power.
