In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, a true race-winner motorcycle that delivered outstanding performance thanks to the combination of 600cc-class power and MotoGP handling.
The 2010 model came once more with an update such as an improved engine and slipper clutch, an exhaust chamber with more space that also limited the exhaust noise resulting in a smoother ride, new double bore intake funnels with two available heights for performance upgrades in both high and low engine speeds, and a lower front seat.
The lightweight subframe was very narrow for a slim and compact rear end appearance and made of two-piece die-cast aluminum sections.
Also, the bike featured a lightweight and compact engine design with camshafts made of chrome-moly steel, standard lightweight magnesium engine covers, lightweight transmission gears, and a lightweight oil pump.
The 2010 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R was powered by the lightweight and compact 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 128 hp available at 14,000 rpm, 134 hp at 14,000 rpm with the ram air intake working at full potential, and 67 Nm (49 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 11,800 rpm.
The power delivered by the engine, combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a wet weight of 191 kg (421 lbs), resulted in a top speed of 258 kph (160 mph).
