The highly anticipated Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2025 is once again creating buzz across India’s two-wheeler community. With leaked reports hinting at imminent bookings and a tentative pricing structure already making rounds online, the supersport segment is heating up for an exciting second half of 2025.
Midweight Supersport Returns with Fresh Updates
After making a grand return last year, the 2025 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R appears to continue the legacy with subtle refinements. Globally unveiled with design tweaks and new-age electronics, this 600cc class motorcycle is aimed squarely at sportbike enthusiasts looking for a mix of track potential and real-world rideability.
For the Indian market, the ZX-6R will reportedly retain its aggressive styling, twin LED headlamps, aerodynamic fairings, and signature sharp tail section. While most features are expected to remain the same, minor cosmetic and feature updates could be introduced for 2025.
Bookings Expected to Start by Late June or Early July
According to insiders, Kawasaki dealerships in major Indian metros have already begun receiving initial communication regarding the upcoming launch. Pre-bookings for the ZX-6R 2025 are expected to start by the end of June or early July 2025, though official confirmation from Kawasaki India is still pending.
Dealers are reportedly being prepared for limited allocation due to the bike’s CKD (Completely Knocked Down) import status, and enthusiasts are advised to act early once bookings officially open.
India Price Leaked – ₹12.29 Lakh Expected (Ex-Showroom)
One of the most discussed aspects of the 2025 Ninja ZX-6R is its expected pricing. Sources close to the development have leaked that the bike may carry a price tag of ₹12.29 lakh (ex-showroom), placing it slightly above the outgoing model. This price adjustment could be attributed to increased import costs, minor tech upgrades, and the impact of currency fluctuations.
If this figure holds true, the ZX-6R will still undercut some litre-class motorcycles, positioning itself as a solid middleweight option for riders transitioning from 300cc or 400cc sportbikes.
Performance That Still Packs a Punch
The Ninja ZX-6R continues to be powered by a 636cc, inline-four-cylinder engine, delivering around 128 PS at 13,000 RPM and 69 Nm of torque at 10,800 RPM. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch. Kawasaki is expected to retain the bi-directional quick-shifter as standard, making it more track-ready.
The bike also comes with traction control, multiple power modes, and adjustable Showa suspension, giving riders a versatile package for both street and circuit.
Competition in the Segment
In India, the ZX-6R competes in a relatively niche category. Its primary rivals include:
- Honda CBR650R (less track-focused, inline-4)
- Yamaha R7 (twin-cylinder, slightly less powerful)
- Triumph Daytona 660 (expected arrival soon)
While competition is slim in the 600cc inline-four category, Kawasaki’s ZX-6R holds a cult following, especially among track-day enthusiasts and sportbike collectors.
What This Means for Enthusiasts
The upcoming booking window signals a positive move for India’s middleweight sports bike market. As global brands begin reintroducing 600cc machines, Kawasaki’s early move could help dominate this resurging category.
The leaked price may feel premium, but for riders seeking a focused, race-bred motorcycle that doesn’t cross the ₹15 lakh mark, the ZX-6R remains a top contender.
