Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2020

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2020

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is a perfectly sized supersport motorbike. With its 130 hp, sporty but controlled riding is possible. The shorter gearing and the 36cc extra displacement ensure that you can be a bit lazier on the road. A worthy flag-waver for the 600cc supersport segment.

Great engine with a great mix of revving and torque

supersport pleasure with lively handling - but still no ascetic feeling in the saddle

well responsive fork and decent, adjustable chassis.

Some details could do with more finesse - number plate holder and indicators!

The overall silhouette is not sporty enough. The sporty bike could do with more aggressiveness.

Honda CBR650R 2021

Honda CBR650R 2021

The 2021 update of the Honda CBR650R solves the biggest problem of the previous year's model: the overly comfortable chassis. The new Showa fork gives the sports bike a much sportier response, which is immediately noticeable on winding country roads. However, one should not expect a thoroughbred super sports bike, but a road sports bike suitable for everyday use, on which one can experience a lot of pleasure in the saddle both on the way to work and on a weekend ride.

Resilient four-cylinder

comfortable seating position

improved chassis for 2021

cool look

easy to operate.

Engine sluggish below 8,000 revolutions

LC display now looks old-fashioned
