Motorcyclist magazine summed it up perfectly: the new-for-1985 Kawasaki Ninja 600R was “the bike that essentially invented the modern 600 middleweight category.”

“A short wheelbase and 16-inch wheels front and rear emphasized the little sportbike’s compact nature and allowed sure-footed handling that riders bred on bigger bikes had previously only dreamed about. Air-assisted AVDS suspension meant it was just as sophisticated as its big brother the 900R.”

This example is VIN: JKAZX4A15GA025315. The seller acquired the bike two years ago from a private party in Floresville, Texas. He is the third owner.

The odometer shows 5,189 miles.
