  • Best 600 for the Buck
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 29, 2008

    This bike is excellent all around. It shifts quickly with very little shifter movement. Really light weight at 354lbs dry. Power is second to NONE in the 600cc class because of the extra 36ccs, and torque kicks you in your seat right from cruising RPMs up to the redline. Brakes are excellent ...

  • Best Of the Best
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 17, 2008

    this bike has treated me so well. handles like a dream, good power, good suspension (alittle hard), and the mean agressive looks. Very reliable bike. adjusted the valves once and i change the oil regulary and she starts up and runs perfect. the bike also does really well to mods. a PCIII and a full ...

  • Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R for the win!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 17, 2008

    I am a owner of a 2004 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R and I could not be happier. I love my bike. This is a well made bike and is one of a kind. The overall design of the bike is one of a kind. It does not compare to any of its competitors of it's time. The head lights are sleek and devilishly eye catching. ...

    The engine is one of a kind with the enhanced extra 36cc's. The 636 ranks among the top of its competitors all because of the engine. The 636 provides 125 horsepower and 50 lbs of torque with a red line starting at around 17,500-18,000rpm. The powerband is continuously giving at certain rpms but does not feel like you are losing power after every shift. The extra 36cc's really help provide that extra kick after shifting gears. The clutch is smooth and grabs each gear each and every time. The exhaust can is a bit long and not quite a high mount exhaust but there are plenty of aftermarket exhausts that are made to your liking. And with a gas tank capacity of 4.8 gallons, it won't hurt your wallet nor will it seem like you have to fill constantly.

    The Ninja ZX-6R is a great bike to own. I have no regrets and love it. There is nothing else that can replace it.
