2013 ZX6R returning to a 636 engine?

[Wattie]

But they will need to be special orders or at least a limited batch. Which will mean less of them on local grids.
No write offs to buy at auction and race etc.

[Blurr]

Also it sends the price sky high when the do limited quantity specials. They are more sort after for racing or collectors

[Johnnyflash]

How many production bikes are need for homologation for racing? I think i remember the number being 500 units sold to the public?

If so, Kawasaki must produce this number which would surely mean the majority being converted to race bikes?

[Wattie]

500 wouldn't only cover world supersport, british supersport and euro superstock.

There is a bit of speculation but most sites say 2000 per year were produced 2003/04/05&06 http://zx6r.com/zx6r/24871-best-zx6rr-zx6r-3.html
It sort of makes sense as the 600 category is struggling in the U.K at the moment, and the torque of the 675 is keeping it above the others. A 636 dedicated for road sport riders and a 600RR for track day junkies would be great and as they have shown before they can exist side by side. I has a quick look on bikesales.com and there are no ZX6RR for sale,they must only increase in value.....

I had a 2006 ZX6RR (600cc) race bike in Ireland and it was no more desireable than any other 600. Lots of people buy a bke brand new from dealerships to convert to race bikes, so there was plenty of the RR's on grids in Ireland and the UK.

I cant see kawasaki leaving the Supersport class racing series, I'm sure they would produce both a 600 and 636cc version for both track and road (without huge costs to develop them side by side)

The RR model had some juicy mods over the 636 with a narrower frame engine mounts so that a 636 engine couldnt be fitted and you can differenciate the 2 visually by the steering damper spud welded to the frame on the lhs of the RR.

I had the last of the 636's (2006) and loved it. When I upgraded I couldn't bring myself to sell it
Blackster isn't MCN and AMCN linked? I don't mind the mag I get it every now and then.

[Wattie]

No, MCN And AMCN are not linked.

And either is http://www.mcnews.com.au

Headlights been hit with the zx10 ugly stick but thats just my opinion. Nothing race glass wouldnt fix

[Wattie]

And they have gone to the Triumph 675 nissin calipers.
Not sure if that's good or bad.
