Welp, just picked up an '01 ZX-6R
As the title implies, I just brought home a 2001 Kawasaki ZX-6R. Only around 5k miles. I took some pictures but my camera card readers not working right, so it might be a little while before I can put some up. For visual reference- its black with silver wheels. Im still keeping my '97 F3, so hopefully the two will get along in the garage together. I took the ZX out for about 50 miles after I bought it, and overall im pretty happy with it. It rides really really smooth with pretty decent power all around. The gearbox feels alot smoother then my F3. Shes bone stock, so first thing im going to need is a new can. Cant stand the look and sound of the stock one, especially compared to my RT-One on my F3. Hopefully ill have some pictures up soon....

Couple pics-
Gotta admit Ive always liked the look of the Ninjas, but I never thought I would end up buying one. This one came along for the right price and I just decided to go ahead and get it. My CBRs currently in the shop for valve work and some other issues that I havent been able to resolve myself, so its nice to have another bike to ride in the downtime-especially with the awesome weather weve been having here in Michigan. Ill have some flush mounts and hopefully a new slip-on in about a month or so. There isnt much available in the slip-on department, but im thinking a carbon fiber Yoshi.

Still love my F3, and the only way I could replace her is with a newer CBR. Maybe I can trade the Kaw and my F3 for a newer RR next year....
