I read an old review of the 2001 ZX-6R including photos: the review said that the ergonomics were less radical than almost all other sport bikes, and the photos showed the rider in a more upright riding position.
The 2006 version IS NOT any more upright than the ZX-6RR or the ZX-14.
Did Mother Kawasaki drop the bars again sometime after 2001?

 

i know they did on the 7r's but i want to say they kept it pretty much close to the og on the 600's. the position is not as upright as the older cbr's, man those were like riding a goldwing. i could be wrong on the 600 ergos, memory is not working to good tonight.
