Man, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2025 is like that middleweight supersport champ that’s had a quick refresh—blistering fast, razor-sharp handling, and now with updated electronics to make track days or highway blasts feel even more exhilarating. Launched in India on September 2, 2025, it’s Kawasaki’s mid-size supersport with a new price tag and OBD2-B compliance, keeping it a no-brainer against the Yamaha R6 or Honda CBR650R. Priced at Rs. 11.69 lakh ex-showroom (on-road Delhi around Rs. 13 lakh), it’s a premium thrill for speed junkies or commuters chasing supersport vibes on a budget—perfect if you’re upgrading from a Ninja 650 or jumping from a CBR500R, with a 636cc inline-four pumping 129 bhp and 69 Nm for 0-100 kmph in under 4 seconds, though the 23.6 kmpl thirst might mean extra fuel stops on long blasts.
Aero, Aggressive Design
This supersport’s a compact missile—2,070 mm long, 710 mm wide, 1,105 mm tall, with a 1,400 mm wheelbase that’s planted for high-speed stability or twisty corners. At 198 kg kerb and 120 mm ground clearance, it hugs tarmac like glue but skips potholes carefully. The 2025 keeps the aerodynamic fairing, twin LED headlamps with DRLs, and layered tail but amps it with two new dual-tone shades like Metallic Matte Green / Titanium Silver or Glass Sparkle Black—single variant with color options. 17-inch alloys with 120/70 front and 180/55 rear tubeless tires grip like crazy, Brembo calipers biting hard—830 mm seat suits taller riders, clip-ons lean you in, but it’s slim enough for lane splits without feeling bulky.
Rider-Focused Cockpit
Clip onto the sporty seat, and wide bars with rearsets give an aggressive tuck—comfy for hours without cramps, vibes silky from the inline-four. The analog-digital cluster with a central TFT LCD flashes speed, tach, fuel, gear, and Active Data like lean angle—Bluetooth via Kawasaki’s app hooks up nav, calls, or tunes. USB port keeps your phone juiced, 17L tank tucks sleek—no pillion grab on base, but optional backrest adds two-up fun. Quickshifter and cruise control make mode swaps (Street, Sport, Rain) a breeze—intuitive for toggling traction on the fly, low NVH letting you chat over the wail. That focused supersport feel nails track days or highway blasts, no cluttered menus stealing your buzz.
Inline-Four Rocket Power
The liquid-cooled 636cc DOHC inline-four pumps 129 bhp at 13,000 rpm and 69 Nm at 10,800 rpm—6-speed gearbox with bi-directional quickshifter shifts like butter, blasting 0-100 kmph in under 4 seconds and topping 250 kmph. ARAI 23.6 kmpl (real-world 20-22) stretches the tank 350-400 km at Rs. 8-10/km—torquey mid-range for overtakes, that screaming inline-four roar on throttle. Showa BPF forks (120 mm travel) and rear shock (130 mm) adjust for track or street—no wallow in corners, refined for highways, though EFI tames the top-end rush a tad.
Safety with Superbike Edge
Dual Brembo discs—320 mm front, 220 mm rear—with cornering ABS bite hard in wet, plus Motion Track Traction Control and anti-lift for bold leans. Launch Control and Speed Limiter tame holeshots, LED cornering lamps cut night fog, and engine brake control smooths downshifts. Full IMU wizardry with lean-sensitive ABS, refined electronics for safer slides—chasing 5-star ratings, shrugging off tumbles for riders pushing limits.
Price and Quick Grab
Base at Rs. 11.69 lakh ex-showroom—on-road Delhi Rs. 13 lakh with taxes. September 2025 launch means stock at Kawasaki dealers or BikeWale, with festive perks: Rs. 10k-20k cashback, no-cost EMI from Rs. 24,000/month on SBI cards, or free gear. Waits 7-15 days, 2-year/unlimited km warranty, Rs. 5k-7k yearly service—resale 75% after two years if babied.
Rider Raves and Gripes
Owners rave about the power and handling—”supersport weapon for the streets,” one Mumbai biker says—but mileage dips in city, and no pillion comfort bugs duos. Service solid in metros, spotty in sticks, seat firm for long hauls. Vs. R6’s agility or CBR650R’s refinement, ZX-6R wins on value—top if supersport zip’s your jam.
