2006 Kawasaki ZZR600, great condition - The ZZR600 provides a superb combination of back road prowess, sport-touring comfort and the agility of a great daily commuter ? and like any bike descended from the race-winning Ninja sport bike line, it looks good doing it. The ZZR600 is powered by a 599cc, liquid-cooled, inline, four-cylinder engine with dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder. Kawasaki?s Twin Ram Air Induction system, which features a leading-edge air scoop at the front of the bike?s fairing, forces cool air into the ZZR600?s airbox and then onto its four 36mm carburetors. The carburetors also feature the Kawasaki Throttle Responsive Ignition Control (K-TRIC), which monitors the throttle position and adjusts ignition timing for the engine?s four spark-plug mounted ignition coils, maximizing the ZZR?s performance at every rpm. The high-tech engine is matched to a close-ratio six-speed transmission, providing the ZZR600 rider with the best gear for any riding situation, whether it?s freeway droning or handling some back road twisties. A lightweight aluminum perimeter frame provides the backbone of the ZZR600?s chassis, while suspension duties are handled by a fully adjustable 46mm cartridge-type front fork and fully adjustable UNI-TRAK rear suspension. Stopping power is provided by six-piston calipers gripping dual 300mm semi-floating front disc brakes, matched by a 220mm rear disc brake. The ZZR600 is shod with high-performance radial tires mounted on 17-inch aluminum wheels. The 120/65ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear tires provide maximum traction and help provide a smooth ride over bumpy surface streets and freeway expansion joints. The simple, sleek lines of the ZZR600?s aerodynamic bodywork are distinctly Kawasaki in appearance, striking an elegant-but-athletic balance with its aluminum frame, angled front fairing, performance-enhancing air scoop and three-spoke wheels. Plus, the ZZR600 makes long-distance rides a pleasure with a stepped flat seat, bars that are easy to reach and wide mirrors that provide an exceptional view. The instrument cluster for the ZZR600 is entirely electronic and includes a speedometer, tachometer, coolant temperature gauge, odometer, trip meter and ? one of the most desirable of features ? a digital clock.
