I'm Back!

Ming · 07-02-2009, 11:29 AM

As Matt likes to put it, I'm back for another season of "As the Wheel Turns." Got another bike! Kept it green and went with a 2007 ZZR 600, (i.e. old school ZX-6R). Whoever has the digits hit me up if you wanna ride!

track wise probably. the ZZR does lack some luxuries of a supersport like inverted front forks and a smaller aftermarket selection for exhaust, clip-ons, rear sets, etc. but they can still be found. The ZZR does weigh quite a bit less though (claimed dry weight 377 lbs), so it makes up for some downtune there. HP to weight ratio wise, it actually has better results than 2008 supersport bike of the year, The Honda CBR600RR.

I wasn't planning on purchasing a bike so soon because of my financial reasons, but I got this one for a price nobody could walk away from. And I'm a sucker for Kawi's...

yes the ZZR has a carburetor. It is the same bike as the 98-02 ninja ZX-6R. Just a different name, and some slight tweaks and upgrades to the engine. I will post pics soon.
