New ZZ-R600 launched
Kawasaki has revealed a new version of the ZZ-R600 based on a previous ZX-6R.
Kawasaki is not thought to be bringing the bike to the UK. It appears to be essentially the same as the old J1 model ZX-6R.
In the US, Kawasaki says it is pitched at 'sports bike riders of all skill levels and especially first time buyers.'
And as a softer option to run alongside the new and extreme-focus ZX-6R it makes a lot of sense.

The ZZ-R600 uses a 599cc engine, the new ZX-6R uses an updated 636cc.

Not too crazy about it...but right now, I'll take anything:-)) I like the 636 better.

I still think...that the R6 and the NEW!!! Gixer look smashing! So is the honda!

I'm interested because it'd be a better streetbike than the 636. I'm not a fan of the 636 riding postion. I like to have more distance between my knees and my hands, instead of feeling crunched up like an embryo.

This is a smart move for Kawi. All they're doing is re-selling the old 00-02 ZX6R, so they didn't have to invest anything.

It's the same reason Honda still sells the F4i, because they know some people want something more streetable
