The Kawasaki ZX-6 (ZZR600) was a sport bike manufactured by Kawasaki. The ZX-6 series motorcycle was Kawasaki's flagship 600 cc model from 1990 to 1994. It was then replaced in 1995 with the ZX-6R is the brand's 600 cc race replica.

In Europe the model designation differed, and was introduced in 1990 as the ZZR600. The same 599 cc engine powered the bike from 1990 to 2004, then from 2005 to 2008 it used the engine from the 2004 ZX-6R.
