Like adherents of the ancient art of ninja techniques honed by centuries of sabotage, infiltration and secret murders, Kawasaki engineers to improve in 1985 its main weapon - a series of tales Ninja. Decades of experience and knowledge in metallurgy, aerodynamics and electronics helped to create the most perfect soldier ever to the wheel on the road. Kawasaki ZX6-R/ZX6-RR - worthy heirs of an ancient clan of Ninja.
External changes to the 2005 model is not so apparent: design concept remains the same, diminished aggression, the lines become smoother, but it is purely subjective, the appearance has become more dynamic. The front fairing is now clearly shows kinship with ZX10-R. An exhaust system, the latest fashions, located just below the shank.
With regard to technology, there is a Japanese engineers do not hold back, giving free rein to creativity. The engines of both Ninja is still four-cylinder, liquid-cooled four-valve per cylinder. The resemblance to its predecessor ends. The all-new cylinder head is required to change the design of pistons: they have new heads and skirts that reduce friction losses. To improving the capacity of new power units (recall that the model ZX6-R Engine capacity 636 cm3, and the ZX6-RR - 599,36 cm3) are used and new intake and exhaust valves are larger diameter, coupled with revised camshaft.
Crankcase made deeper, upgraded oil pump, to eliminate the negative effects of long-term drive to the rear wheel.
Bore chokes increased to 38 mm, and the butterflies now have an oval shape. This technology was first used on a motorcycle super-sport class, and to accelerate the flow of intake air by 20% without changing the shape of reactors themselves, that is, preserving the compactness of the engine.
Another useful innovation - the cardinality release valve, allowing the engine to improve performance at low and medium engine speeds.
The emergence of electronic-controlled secondary injectors and power valve on the issue of modernization required the control processor (now it has more memory). Contribute to the improvement of engine performance and makes a renewed system of inertial supercharging.
That the youngest ZX6-R did not seem poor relative to the background super-sport RR, it is also equipped with a floating clutch to help prevent rear wheel lock with heavy engine braking. Transmissions of both Ninja upgraded to improve reliability and a soft handover. On the ZX6-RR is now the buyer receives the standard gearbox ratios, previously only available for optional racing kit.
The racing experience enabled engineers to create a more compact and at the same time, more rigid aluminum frame diagonal. Wheelbase has decreased attachment of the pendulum moved forward, which made it longer. The rigidity of the pendulum has increased significantly, structurally it is similar to that used on the ZX-10R. The front fork from Showa, as well as rear shock has a full range of adjustments. In addition, the ZX6-RR rubbing of the front forks with titanium nitride coated to reduce friction.
New Ninja not only quickly harnessed, but at least will soon stop, because there are two radial front brakes with four-piston calipers and petal discs with a diameter of 300 mm. Even a modest rear brake disc 220 mm petal, a la Grand Prix. Undulating form of brake discs - not a fad, a way to get the most effective deceleration with a smaller amount of brake discs and their high thermal stability.
The seat and fuel tank of a new form (by the way, the volume of 17 l), have reduced the distance to the handlebars and footpegs, bringing ergonomics to the standard (for this indicator) ZX-10R.
When it comes to aerodynamics, the strict upbringing instilled by centuries of engineers shy Kawa escapes: New ZX6-R/RR - the most aerodynamically advanced motorcycles ever created by the company. In this eagerly believed, because the drag coefficient for ZX6-R/RR lower than that ever saw the light of Ninja.
In light of all, we are looking forward to the appearance of Kawasaki ZX6-R / ZX6-RR Ninja 2005 model year on the market, and, accordingly, the possibility of taming of this Ninja.
