...the eyes (headlights) look too feminine...the face (front fairing/headlights/intake) makes it look like a whimsical bird...somebody photochop some eyelashes over/under the headlights and you'll see what I mean...change the shape of the headlights, make it "angrier" and it'd look like the face of a sleek raptor...a hawk comes to mind...oh well, paint it pink and paint on the eyelashes...PK might like it....the back end looks cool, though....and I'm sure its a very capable sport streetbike...

Now why couldn't the person responsible for the 6R colors have been assigned to the ZX-14 for 07? Sheesh. Those are some nice color schemes, digging the silver. I think a ZX-14 in silver would be snappy.

Stop and ask yourself where the Tail light is located... It will have to be on the rear fender just like the new Honda 600. NOW that's going to BLOW when it's time to dump that ugly rear fender isn't it

I like the black also.........and the wife is REALLY digging that bike. She said she probably would not have another 600 a few months back................ ____________

The only thing I dont like about it..is the rear brake fluid resevoir. It looks really cluttered just hanging there with the mile-O-hose just hanging from some wire hangers out there under the rear section. Looks like a total after thought. "Oh no, we forgot the rear brake fluid resevoir. What do we do?" "Hey just stick it behind the rear footpeg. Here I have some coat hanger. We can just bend it up to hold the hose in place."
Just my $.02 LOL

It's got me thinking about a new one too
Very nice bike indeed. If I weighed what most you ladies weigh I would have a 600 in a minute. I love my Girlfriends 05....636! It's hands down the sexiest bike I've ever worked on. Well ever since we put the GREEN 600RR body work on it that is. I hated it when it was Blue.. It looked weak and sick back then..... Kawasaki's are suppose to be Green!!!!! GOD!! I love the GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just trim it up, smooth out the edges, and remount the tag up under the brake light. Plus it makes trackdays easier, you can remove the turnsignals, tail light, tag mount, and tag light all in one step, now if they's just put the front signals in the mirrors...

I like the black one ...looks like a stealth bomber...Bought my wife a zx650 this year. She wanted the silver one she saw in the magazines, but when they were relesed up here in the frozen north they had a gold frame ...We bought the black one with the red frame LOL If the silver 6R shows up one the showroom floor with the red on it I bet I can talk her into trading up LOL . Which would be great as i spend alot of time waiting for her now and I'm guessing with a new 6R that would not be the case .

Look at the rear view pic.
Draw a line from the left edge of the rear tire to the left foot peg and notice how close it goes past the axle nut. And that's without the load of the rider going through a corner. Looks like the corner speed/lean angle will have you close to dragging your axle!

I want one. I see Nissin calipers. No more split tank? Man, they put alot of emphasis on that with the last bike.
