ZX-6R has now officially released in New York and will be available in US and Europe but not in Malaysia for now. The bike has return to use the 636cc engine which replaced the 599cc previously. The 636cc is made by increasing the stroke of the engine from 42.5mm to 45.1mm. We can expect better torque around the low to midrange power band and this provide the bike better power handling from the engine. The power of this bike are massive considering is only a ‘600’ bike for 131hp at 13,500RPM. The torque are recorded 70.5Nm at 11,500RPM.
The ZX-6R comes with ABS and KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control), the same feature can only be found on ZX-10R previously. There are 4 mode available (including ‘Off’) that is Mode 1 for just a little traction control for much sliding, Mode 3 with more traction control applied for sporty driving with limited slip and Mode 3 to eliminates any chances of wheel slippage. There are also power control that comes in two settings, “Full” and “Low”. Full will give 100% of engine power sent to the rear wheel while Low will limits 80% of power. Both of the settings (KTRC and power control) works independently, so, you have maximum 8 settings to choose for.
This is definitely a great bike from Kawasaki. In terms of ‘interestingness’, I personally think that the current generation of ZX-6R carries the different aura than this ZX-6R 636. This makes both of the bike great in their own speciality. The 2012 ZX-6R contains a lot of curves and great double headlight but ZX-6R 636 have more sharp lines and edges which make its more beast-looking.
