The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is shod with Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22 tyres that contribute to lighter handling, while offering superior grip in both dry and wet conditions.

The ZX-6R uses a Showa suspension, and also gets an assist and slipper clutch. The ZX-6R gets twin LED headlamps and taillight as well as a multi-function LCD instrument console.

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R does not have a direct rival in India at present, but at the price point, the model does compete with the likes of the Triumph Street Triple RS and the Ducati Supersport.

While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
