Kawasaki ZZ-R600 (1990-2007)

Overlooked by many but those who’ve ridden them know how good they can be. The Kawasaki ZZ-R600 is an unlikely nutter bike but, on speed alone, it’s up there in the upper echelons of  the “bikes that can get you nicked in second gear” category. Roomy and comfortable, the Kawasaki ZZ-R600 is practical, too, and you can pick them up...

As a new rider after many years an great bike to start riding again. Had great times when starting out and filled me with confidence to move on to bigger and better things. Pity they don't still make it as I am sure they would have improved it even more. fantastic all rounder

Great All Rounder

Been riding 30 yrs and owned 2 of them,which says a lot as Ive never bought any other model twice and ive tried many. Great sports tourer and comfy- scratch the twisties with yer mates of an evening, take the missus mini touring at weekends, and commute with  confidence through the rush hour traffic all week. The ZZR600 does it all. Nothin fancy, but does exactly what it says on the tin and will have you grinning a plenty. Recommended and great value for the dosh! Maybe i will get a 3rd one sometime.

ZZR

Been riding for 30 years, there is NO bike to touch the zzr600 for overall brilliance, Nothing else offers such speed,comfort and excitment for the same cost------ Nothing.

Dont be fooled This bike can keep up with the big boys! Not of course for top end stupid speeds, but I have kept up with many out and out sports bikes on the twisty bits. AND the best bit if you want to learn to get your knee down then this IS the bike for you. I can scrap a slider all the around a roundabout at very low speeds, such is the handling of this truly super, superr bike. Simply the best.

zzr600

Traded in my 600 bandit a year ago for a 2002 ZZR600. I've just got back from a trip to Scotland, and can honestly say its a far better bike than the Bandit for this sort of trip. Good weather protection, cruising mostly 70-90 on the motorways and still returned 64 mpg.(Bandit only ever made 55 mpg) Starts first time every time, reliable through the winter, no serious corrosion. Mind you I spray WD40 on any exposed metal and keep the bodywork well polished, etc. Not looking forward to valve clearance check especially if I need to take the camshafts out to adjust the clearances but you can't have everything. I thought the ZZR would be uncomfortable on long trips compared to the Bandit but not so. You've actually got a bit more scope to move around to ease the aches and pains, and tank bag, panniers, etc all fit on ok with plenty of bungee points etc. The Bandits a good bike, easy to work on, thoroughly reliable etc, but the ZZR is a better performer all round, except when it comes to maintenance time.

ZZR 600 or YZF600R?

Looking for my first sport tourer. What will be the best choice ZZR 600 or YZF600R? Mine main requirements are power about 100 bhp, weight under 200 kg, good wind protection. This two bikes are almost equal but I don't like the cheap-looking dashboard on YZF600R.
