The seller offers for sale this 1997 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, powered by a 600 cc inline-four engine. The motorcycle is finished in green and indicates 4,483 km on the odometer. It is an example of the first-generation Ninja ZX-6R. The bodywork shows no significant rust and the machine presents in good condition for its age. Kawasaki introduced the Ninja ZX-6R in 1995 as its contender in the hotly contested 600 cc supersport class. The first generation, built through 1997, paired a compact liquid-cooled inline-four with a lightweight chassis and ram-air induction, giving the bike sharp handling and lively performance that helped establish the ZX-6R name. The Ninja series had already become Kawasaki’s flagship sporting badge, and the 6R slotted in below the larger ZX-9R as an accessible yet capable middleweight. Across its production run the model competed directly with the Honda CBR600F, Yamaha YZF600 and Suzuki GSX-R600, and it built a loyal following among riders looking for a balance of road usability and track ability.
This particular example wears the green livery long associated with Kawasaki’s sporting motorcycles and represents an early chapter in the ZX-6R story, a model line that would continue to evolve through several generations in the years that followed. As a first-series example, it offers enthusiasts of mid-1990s Japanese supersport machines a chance to own one of the bikes that helped define the category.
