KAWASAKI Ninja ZX-6RR (2003-2004) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R was a sports bike part of the Ninja series in Kawasaki's range that debuted in 1995 and continued production until the Present (2023). The bike was constantly upgraded over its production time in response to new products from Suzuki, Yamaha, and Honda.

In 2003, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6RR, a limited-production motorcycle powered by a 599cc engine, intended for those riders who wanted a bike for displacement-restricted racing.

The Kawasaki ZX-6RR had standard features, such as an aerodynamic full fairing with dual headlights and a central ram air intake borrowed from the 1990 ZX-11 model, a medium-sized windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, and six-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

The bike was built around a lightweight aluminum frame with a 41 mm inverted cartridge-type adjustable fork on the front, offering 119 mm of travel, and a bottom-link uni-trak gas-charged adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering 133 mm of travel and excellent handling capabilities.

The braking power was handled by two 280 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel, providing excellent stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 2003 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6RR had its soul brought to life by a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 120 hp at 13,200 rpm and 65 Nm (48 lb-ft) torque at 12,000 rpm.
