Canadian 2005 ZZR600
Hi all, I got my 2005 ZZR600 last Thursday and I love it. I notice there are some differences from the pics I see here. This is a Canadian bike. I was searching for reviews and notice the same bike in a UK review.

Some differences from the USA model. Mines has dual exhaust, one headlight and the seat is different. Its a 2005 model and it was still in the creat when I brought it from the dealer, brand new with 0 kilometers. The manual says ZZR600 and my dealer say no breakin except take it easy on the tires for the first 200 klms. Another thing is that the dry weight is 430lbs which I think is a mistake because I can fell the bike is way lighter than my last bike (Vulcan EN500 at 439lbs). Also that's the only color available. BTW I had the bike lowered.
Here are some pics.

Yeah, that's the ZX600E... It's what was the ZZR600 in the US for 2004. They changed the 2005's to be the ZX600J series, which is the 2000-2002 ZX6R.
Seems as time goes on, the old sportbikes turn into todays sport-touring bikes... I've got an '05 ZZR600, and love it... 6000 miles and counting!

Gery, you're right, its the ZX600-E13. So if this the the 2004 US ZZR600, the I need to breakin as specified in the owner's manual.
Sorry about the link, don't know what happen. Here are the pics.
