2003 Kawasaki ZZR600 (ZX600E)

This ZZR600 is a low mileage bike, having only covered 3,238 miles. It has been garaged from new and looks fantastic. The paintwork is as smooth and shiny as glass and it still has the showroom look to it.

As you would expect from a machine with these miles, there is virtually no wear on the chain and sprockets, brakes or suspension components. The engine starts first time and runs very smoothly. The gear selection is slick and the brakes operate powerfully and progressively. The bike has just been recommissioned after being in storage, so I recently did a carb overhaul and replaced the battery. With proper maintenance, ZZR600s are extremely reliable; it will be many thousands more miles before any work is required on it.

For those not familiar with the ZZR600, it is a 100 bhp, 150 mph sports tourer. When it was introduced it was the fastest 600 sports bike available. Later sports bikes have more power at the top end, although ZZR600s are still known for having a very strong midrange and explosive acceleration. For real world riding where you're not driving everywhere at 9,000+ rpm, the ZZR is the better choice. Handling is good and although it's a sports tourer it's still capable of canyon carving and scraping the pegs if that's your thing. The other strong point of the ZZR is comfort - you can ride this bike all day and not feel like you've been folded up like a piece of origami when you get off it. All in all, this is a great motorcycle that rides exceptionally well and looks fantastic.

The bike has a clean title in my name and is registered until June 2017. The only thing to do on the bike is change the tires which are the original ones fitted to the bike at the factory. Because I don't ride much above legal freeway speeds and there are no visible cracks in them, I have not replaced them. However, this is something that I would recommend doing. There are a few micro marks on the bike from storage; other than that it is in pristine condition. It's for sale for $3,295 or close offer, meaning that you get a bike that looks very nearly as good as new and can do 95% of what a new sports 600 can do for a quarter of the price.

Kawasaki Reveals Supercharged Inline-Four Engine

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Kawasaki announced it is developing what it calls the world’s first supercharger developed by a motorcycle manufacturer. The giant Japanese company called on its extensive experience in working with turbine engines, and distilled the technology for motorcycle applications, showing a supercharged Inline-Four engine at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. No details were given on the size of the sample engine, though diagrams included in Kawasaki’s patent applications for motorcycle superchargers include one image that looks vaguely similar to the Ninja ZX-14R.

Jeremy Toye Wins 92nd Running Of Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

On his first attempt at the Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, road racer Jeremy Toye set a record in the premiere Open Class to win the category aboard a 2015 Kawasaki ZX-10R, celebrating the 30th year of the legendary Ninja brand. Prior to setting foot on the hill, Toye was confident he could get among the class leaders, aiming to beat the outright Pikes Peak motorcycle record, which was set by Carlin Dunne in 2012 with a time of 9:52.819. While that record remains intact, Toye was able to set a time of 9:58.687 to win the Open Class, finishing 6sec ahead of his closest rival, Fabrice Lambert aboard a Ducati.

Old boys up front and where are the new 600 Gixers?

Mon, 28 Feb 2011

As I’ve been gagging for the new race season to kick off so it was almost a pleasure getting up at stupid 0 clock to watch the World Superbike Championship opener at Phillip Island last weekend. I have to say Messrs Burnicle and Whitham were on form although I was disappointed there were none of the usual verbal attacks on each other that always add to the entertainment. I’m sure they will put things right soon but the world superbike regulars must have been disheartened that Moto GP veterans nailed five of the six available rostrum slots.
