First introduced in this iteration back in 2013, the Kawasaki ZX-6R features a long-stroke 636cc engine that delivers more power in the low to midrange compared with most of the other 600-class engines. And yet, despite this displacement advantage, it took the combination of Graves Motorsports engineering and development plus rider Richie Escalante to transform the bike into a MotoAmerica Supersport Championship-winning motorcycle. With HONOS as his team’s main sponsor, Escalante won 13 out of 18 races on the way to his first MotoAmerica title.
