Pros: Throttle Response, Comfort, Power, Agility, Ergos, Engine, Brakes
Cons: Suspension
Summary: Well... it's 2005 and my 2000 ZX-6R is still running. I've ridden, almost literally, every other sport bike in the past 5 years. None of them compares to this one. They say, "every rose has it's thorn", right? Not this one. R6 has the short wheel-base ... read more

Pros: smooth power, very comfortable considering the very high performance, fuel efficiency, SO FUN!
Cons: no fuel warning light. cold weather makes riding uncomfortable
Summary: I bought this bike about 4 months ago. This was my second bike and I stepped up to it after riding a 2001 ninja 250 for about a year. This bike screams. I have had so much fun on this bike. When I went to test drive it I couldn't stop smiling and I ... read more

Pros: Fast and super responsive throttle, excellent brakes, handles well
Cons: No fuel indicator or dummy light, paint on rims is peeling
Summary: This happened to be my first bike. Quite a step up from the toy I learned on. This beast is anything but a toy. There lies a demon under the hood of this machine. With this motorcycle's light weight, 16 valve 4cyl. DOHC 600cc engine, and flashy color ... read more

Pros: looks, price, comfort, speed, engine
Cons: city riding, console
Summary: I was looking for my second bike. I had had a 250 Ninja last season and wanted something I would want to keep for a few years. I looked on ebay and picked out a few bikes but then came across an 02 leftover RED zx6r at my fovorite shop in Hamburg, NJ ... read more

Pros: Comfortable riding position. Great Power.
Cons: Not a great bike for two up riding. Difficult to wheelie :(
Summary: When I decided to purchase my first sport bike, I researched the alternatives for quite some time and I finally decided on the ZX-6R. A few months later, I couldn't be happier. I decided to go with a 600cc machine because I was an inexperienced rider, ... read more

Pros: Good running motor. Good value for the price
Cons: Older look won't attract attention like a GSX-R, but maybe this is a good thing
Summary: NOTE: This review is for a 1986 Kawasaki Ninja 600R not
a 2000 ZX-6R. Epinions doesn't have a place to write a review for this bike, so I'm making my own.
I had been looking to get into motorcycle riding for two years. The opportunity ... read more

Pros: Best of both worlds: Comfortable and FAST! Great for around-town riding.
Cons: Feels very light at higher speeds. No fuel gauge.
Summary: The 2000 ZX-6R is a nice cross between the speed, power and handling of a ZX-7R and the comfort and rider position of the ZX-6 or ZX-11. For someone who doesn't need to have the fastest bike on the street, the ZX-6R is a smart choice. Don't get me ... read more

Pros: Speed, Looks, Comfort for Commuting, Great Torque for Passing Power, Extremely Stable.
Cons: No Fuel Gauge of any kind. No good color selection for CA.
Summary: This is an excellent bike. Kawasaki really fixed up the 2000 model so I wouldn't recommend getting a bike older than the 2000's. 2000 is about when the Ninja began becoming serious competition against the Gixxer's (Suzuki GSX), Yamaha R6's, and the ... read more

Pros: Smooth powerful engine, Slick transmission, Very comfortable, Excellent wind protection, Very light, One finger brakes
Cons: No fuel gauge or low fuel light, Helmet hook under seat
Summary: I have put about 550 miles on my green 01 ZX-6R beast in about a week and a half. After she hit the 500 mark, I got her up to redline to see what she could do. I know I am suppose to wait until 1k, but what's a couple of times going to hurt. For a 600, ... read more

Pros: Engine, flexibility, looks, sound
Cons: none as yet
Summary: I owned a BMW trail bike before buying my ZX-6R second hand. I was new to riding and was not prepared to go out and kill myself! However, I soon wanted more speed and acceleration, so started looking around for a race bike.
Admittedly, the ... read more

Pros: Comfortable ride. Lightweight. Affordable bike for it's speed!
Cons: Well, I can't think of any!
Summary: I bought this bike as a starter. Yes, I purchased a 600 as my first bike. But wait...I have been riding ATV's for quiet some time now, so I was experienced to a point. Anyway, it was the RIGHT choice. I knew I'd outgrow a 400 really fast...and the ... read more

Pros: Best in class comfort and dollar value.
Cons: No fuel injection for the new millenium.
Summary: For the title of "best overall" among the latest breed of 600cc sportbikes, it would be close between the new 2001 Honda CBR600F4i and Kawasaki ZX-6R. The latter gets my vote. Both provide optimum comfort on the street due to their less aggressive, ... read more

Cons: Need a slightly better seat.
Summary: The 2000 Kawasaki ZX-6R is my third sport bike in recent years. As kid in an aging 32 year old body, I just cant get away from these younger boy toys. However there's a few bikes that are extremely capable as full blown racers, but can also perform very ... read more

Cons: feels suprising big
Summary: I have been in the sportbike look-out for quite sometime. My research led me to the purchase of the 2000 6R. With the competitive 600 cc market hotter than ever, it is hard to go wrong with any of these mid size marvels. Personal preference was the ... read more

Summary: First of all, this was the biggest purchase I've ever made, so I researched every aspect, read every shootout, every article on this bike before choosing it over the other 600's. And I'm glad I did! I've ridden a friend's CBR600F4, another's R6, and ... read more

Cons: chassis not as sharp as R6, limited color choice
Summary: The 2000 6R rips!
I picked up my cherry red new Ninja in February, 2000, and have since logged 2600 miles, including two track days at Laguna Seca. I previously owned a 1991 Kawasaki ZX-6, which was a great sport-tourer with a great engine, ... read more

Summary: Over the years ive been riding (a total of 7) I've ridden many sport bikes, and one of my all-time favorites has to be the Kawasaki ZX-6R. It's very powerful, but does not weigh too much. It's easy to handle and I bought the bike in '96 and I have only ... read more
