- The 2021 ZX-6R gets a new KRT edition livery.
- Powertrain and underpinnings remain unchanged.
- Expect the BS6 version to launch in India next year.
Kawasaki has unveiled the 2021 Ninja ZX-6R overseas. The faired motorcycle gets a new colour option while the rest of the bike remains unchanged. Kawasaki had recently heavily revised some of its mid-capacity models like the Ninja 650 and Z650. The updated motorcycle is expected to come to India next year in BS6 form.
The updates for 2021 are purely cosmetic. It gets a new KRT edition livery. Instead of the black and green, the fairing now has a dash of white and red colours added into the mix. It gives the supersport motorcycle a sporty look. Other than the colour update, the new motorcycle does not receive any feature update. It continues to get features like twin LED headlamps and a semi-digital instrument console.
The powertrain also remains unchanged. It continues to be powered by a 636cc inline-four cylinder motor that delivers 136PS and 70.8Nm. It gets a close-ratio 6-speed gearbox with an assist & slipper clutch. Rider aids include Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) with three modes, power mode selector and Kawasaki Intelligent Anti-lock Braking System (KIBS) have been retained.

The underpinnings remain the same pressed aluminium perimeter frame with fully adjustable Showa SFF-BP forks and a fully adjustable Bottom-Link Uni Trak gas-charged monoshock with piggyback reservoir. Braking is via dual 310mm petal discs with radially-mounted monobloc calipers at the front and a 220mm petal rear disc. It runs on Bridgestone Hypersport S22 radial tyres.
We won’t be getting the new livery anytime soon as the bike is not BS6-compliant yet. However, we expect Kawasaki to launch the BS6 Ninja ZX-6R in India sometime next year. It is expected to be priced around Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom). The Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R could soon have a worthy adversary in the form of the all-new Triumph Daytona 765 as the latter is expected to be launched here by next year.
