Default KLX needed a friend

She was kind of lonely and needed a friendIt's a 2008. Had one mile on it and it now has 7! I love my KLX and would not havegotten anything else for the trails and inbetween but this bike is awesome! If this is my mid-life crisis, then I'm loving it. Weather kind of sucked today but still had to go around the neighborhood a few times. Going to be a long winter. [&o]

It's a ZZR600. It's kind of in the middle of the Ninja 650 and the Ninja ZX6R. (but it's not considered a Ninja) Only 2 colors were available, blue and black. I at first wanted the blue but when I saw the black, I fell in love. Besides, my green riding gear would clash with the blue. I did kind of look at the ZX6R but it is really a racing bike and not very confortable. Too much for me. This one is just right............

hey warsanrotts, you know that ZZR is just the last ZX6R bike, right? imo, besides the '05 ZX6R, I think it's the best looking ZX600 anything that Kawi has built in years- I think it dates back to the 2000 ZX6R. I had an original 1990 ZX6 in the two-tone blue/electric blue. Nowadays, when they upgrade their models, the ZZR gets the old design and they rename it, just like the older R6. They changed it to some other name and took away the inverted forks and bingo, it sits between the current R6 and YZF600. It's just another way factories can keep making money on parts that cost them nothing to manufacture. It may not say Ninja on the side, but trust me, it has Ninja performance and will probably push 160 mph top-end. But probably the best thing about it, with no ninja nomenclature, it should cost less in insurance. That one pic outdoors is downright sweet looking.

Well it looks great. I wish just once I could ride a bike like that, you know just for reference. Not that I would buy one........or maybe I would and that would not be good. My garage is full already.

I agree. This what the ZX was and is for sure one of the nicest I've seen. I really looked at the Ninja 650 but this is way nicer of a bike and much for confortable. I wanted a bike that I could spend a day on and still have a back but also wanted the performance. This is it. When I saton itfor the first time, I just kind of sank in it nicely. It just seemed to fit.I really liked the green and black of the 08ZX6R but man that bike is not comfy. The seat is hard and you really lean forward. But then again, it is more ofa race bike.


I just can't wait to get out on it.
