Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a big-bore 1990s open-class superbike that demands a confident, experienced rider comfortable with strong power delivery and a firm chassis.
PurposeBuilt primarily as an aggressive sport and occasional track-day machine that prioritizes speed and cornering performance over practicality.
Rider FitIts 800mm seat height and 215kg dry weight put moderate demands on rider strength and leg length, especially at low speeds or when maneuvering off the bike.
CharacterIt has the raw, visceral character typical of mid-90s in-line four superbikes, favoring direct feedback and hard-charging acceleration over refinement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for new riders, those wanting plush long-distance comfort, or anyone seeking a relaxed daily commuter.

1995 Kawasaki ZX 9 R Ninja Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1995 Kawasaki ZX 9 R Ninja, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
