presentation of the ZX-6R 600 Performance 2012
this generation of 600 Ninja doesn't have to take lessons from anyone. Powerful, agile and extremely efficient, this pistard deserves praise, piggyback angles and crazy lap times. To make it even better, Kawasaki is dipping into the accessories box and adding a few extras to the ZX-6R. So, what's the best thing about it? Well, for starters, a high bubble to improve protection and aerodynamics. Then, the look. A little saddle cowl always looks good. Plus, there's no room for a passenger, so it's easy to get a good selfie. Finally, the sound system. An Akrapovic carbon muffler will provide the vocals for the symphony of minor arsons. Lighter than the original element, it also offers extra aggressiveness. This special-series ZX-6R is priced at 12,999 euros. It joins the family of Kawasaki Pack + motorcycles, such as the GTR 1400 Grand Tour, the ZZR 1400 Performance and the Z 750 Urban Sports Edition (non-exhaustive list).
