2003 Kawasaki ZX-6R B1H

Registration Number: PJ03 NTV
Frame Number: TBA

In 2003, there were a number of changes to the ZX-6R, or ZX636 as it is often referred. The engine was fuel injected and engine speed was raised around 500 RPM which resulted in a slight gain in power. Radial-mounted four-piston brakes replaced the previous six-piston brakes and the front forks were now inverted. Chassis improvements resulted in higher rigidity and less weight. An all digital instrument panel was also introduced and a larger ram-air intake inlet moved to the center over the headlight, running through the headstock. The bike, designation B1H, carried over to the 2004 model year with just colour scheme changes. The ZX-6RR won the Supersport category award for Masterbike 2004 and placed third overall.

Influenced from the ZX-10R and MotoGP ZX-RR machines, The new 6R gained a low screen and flowing contours all the way back to the tail unit, then up close the smooth curves of the nose, lights and front mudguard go some way to justifying Kawasaki’s claim that this is the most aerodynamic Ninja to date. With everything pulled in, rear turbulence has been greatly reduced behind the rider, adding to comfort and top speed. The speedo reading rose from 156mph to 165mph in a few seconds just by tucking in properly. The 2003 636cc Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R B1H was a revolutionary bike in many ways 

This example has been in private ownership in recent years, and in recent times used as a second bike. A great usable modern superbike, nimble, fun, hugely enjoyable to ride, and with a bright future in the market.
