In 2015, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 30th Anniversary Edition, which like its ZX-10R sibling, came in a 30th-anniversary livery that celebrated Kawasaki's 30 years of manufacturing Ninja motorcycles.
The bike came with just surface changes that included the Lime Green with Pearl Stardust White color scheme, green pinstripe decals on the wheels, and the 30th Anniversary badges on each side of the fairing.
In other departments, the Ninja ZX-6R 30th Anniversary Edition featured the same characteristics as the standard 2015 model and the same displacement bump featured by the 2013 model that delivered racetrack-ready power and flexible delivery for the streets.
The three-mode Kawasaki Traction Control (K-TRC) system offered three performance mods, such as mode one offered maximum racetrack performance, mode two offered sporty street performance, and mode three eliminated wheel spin on slippery surfaces with the ability to switch the system off.
Also, the bike featured an aerodynamic bodywork with the front fairing that featured an aggressive design, a front fender with great aerodynamic capabilities, a lower fairing, a rear cowl, and blacked-out panels that offered a compact and lightweight appearance.
In the power department, the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 30th Anniversary Edition had its heartbeat set by a 636cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 131 hp with a peak at 13,500 rpm and 71 Nm (52 lb-ft) of torque available at 11,500 rpm.
