The Kawasaki ZX-6R was the fastest bike in the hands of less then 10 of the 15 participating riders. Arne Tode was the fastest with her creating a record of 1.44.572.
In this way Akashi’s super sport repeated its victory like in the previous edition of Master Bike, provoking huge smiles between the Japanese representative from Kawasaki.
Its engine with a 36cchike from the older ZX-6R makes the most power in the super sport group. It is an advantage that the ZX-6R clearly enjoys since it makes it all that more difficult for the competition to pass this bike. The ZX-6R is also a nimble handler with light and effective dynamics emanating from its cycle parts.
In the finals the ZX-6R did not have many options in front of its older sibling the ZX-10R, neither in front of the Ducati 999s although its is just around one and half seconds slower then them. The hint of this small distances like the super sport in general lies in its excellent agility, efficient propulsion unit.
With around a 120PS of max power, you can exploit the abilities of the ZX-6R far more easily then the more powerful litre class super bike. In general the ZX-6R is more accessible and fun, although she expects more focus on the riders behalf to maintain a proper regimen and not provoke extreme sensations out of it.

The Apache 150cc bike delivers to give stiff competition to the current king of the 150cc segment, the Pulsar. The Apache develops 13.5PS of power and has a good power to weight ratio to boot. Apache TVS’s new stunner occupied centre stage at the company stall. This 150cc bike has won quite a few accolades in less then a month after launch.But the USP for the bike is its styling,which is easily the finest we have seen on an Indian mass produced motorcycle. The company also showcased the latest iteration of its 125cc motorcycle, the Victor GLX. The GLX hitherto has not sold well for various reasons.
