Kawasaki is reportedly set to unveil an updated Ninja ZX-6R for he 2013 model year with a return to a 636cc engine displacement.
According to Motorcycle News, the 2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R
will receive a styling refresh to resemble the ZX-10R while bringing
back the larger 636cc engine displacement used from 2002 to 2006 (the
2003 ZX-6R is pictured above).
The British publication has gotten a hold of spy photos of the new ZX-6R being filmed for a Kawasaki promotional video on the Isle of Man. The photographs published online
are grainy and shot from a distance, but the print edition shows a more
detailed image revealing the new fairings, longer headlights and the
larger displacement.
The immediate question is whether Kawasaki will produce a 600cc (or
599cc like the current ZX-6R) version for supersport racing
homologation. From 2003 to 2006, Kawasaki produced two versions, the
636cc ZX-6R which was the primary production model, and a limited
production 599cc ZX-6RR. The extra 37cc provided a bit more horsepower
and torque while the RR had more track-oriented gearing, a steering
damper and revised suspension.
