Previous years of the ZX-6R's engines were all built from the same basic design, but the all-new engine for 2007 was redesigned from the crankcase up. The bike carried over to the 2006 model year with minor suspension changes and new color schemes.Īfter four years of offering their 636 cc ZX-6R for street use and an entirely separate 599 cc ZX-6RR for displacement-restricted racing classes, Kawasaki offered only one ZX-6R for 2007, and it displaced 599 cc. For the second year in a row, the ZX-6RR again won the Supersport category award for Masterbike 2005 and placed third overall. Most of these changes were mirrored in the 599 cc ZX-6RR. The exhaust was now centrally under the seat (a configuration commonly referred to as an undertail exhaust). The aluminum frame was now painted flat black, fairings were more round, and integrated turn signals were used (euro model). The frame and swingarm were updated, but the main changes from its predecessor lay in the design. Engine speed increased again by 1,000 rpm resulting in 113 hp (84 kW) at 12250 rpm. In 2005, Kawasaki again revamped the ZX-6R. Kg), wet weight of 454 lb (206 kg), and was capable of accelerating 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in only 3.6 seconds. When Kawasaki introduced the ZX-6R in 1995, it was the first middleweight sport bike with an aluminum frame since the 1992 GSXR600.
