2009 - Kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja.

To put it nicely, the current ZX-6R is a bit disappointing. Compared to rivals like the CBR600RR, 2009 Triumph Daytona 675 and 2008 Yamaha R6 three of the best motorcycles ever made — the Kawasaki looks bloated, is overweight and underperforming, especially in the handling department. With a new model due next year, expect Kawasaki to pull out all the stops in order to compete.
