It was the super sport category in which most of the contenders presented important revisions both in terms of design details and mechanical parts. The battle circumstances the race for the top spot looked very inviting however the classifications, showed unexpected result. The Kawasaki ZX-6R was the fastest bike in the hands of less then 10 of the 15 participating riders. Arne Tode was the fastest with her creating a record of 1.44.572.
In this way Akashi’s super sport repeated its victory like in the previous edition of Master Bike, provoking huge smiles between the Japanese representative from Kawasaki.
Its engine with a 36cchike from the older ZX-6R makes the most power in the super sport group. It is an advantage that the ZX-6R clearly enjoys since it makes it all that more difficult for the competition to pass this bike. The ZX-6R is also a nimble handler with light and effective dynamics emanating from its cycle parts.
In the finals the ZX-6R did not have many options in front of its older sibling the ZX-10R, neither in front of the Ducati 999s although its is just around one and half seconds slower then them. The hint of this small distances like the super sport in general lies in its excellent agility, efficient propulsion unit.
With around a 120PS of max power, you can exploit the abilities of the ZX-6R far more easily then the more powerful litre class super bike. In general the ZX-6R is more accessible and fun, although she expects more focus on the riders behalf to maintain a proper regimen and not provoke extreme sensations out of it.
