A hybrid monster
It's an absolute beast when it comes to the roads and it's pure sound is just mesmerising and it's power is way too good. It's definitely an eye catcher and since its a ducati made no compromise in any sorts of engine or design. Pure adrenaline rush at red line and a very exciting one to ride a lower rpms

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R remains
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R remains one of the best middleweight sportbikes on the market. Its combination of power, handling, and technology make it a top choice for enthusiasts who want a bike that excels on both the street and the track. While it's geared more toward performance than comfort, those looking for an adrenaline-packed ride will find the ZX-6R a joy to ride. Whether you're tracking laps or carving twisties, it's a fantastic machine.
