mate all the 600's will blow your mind when it comes to performance, it come down to whichever one you like the look of best.

The ZX6R has big wrapps on it, winning the AMA superstock & supersport races recently...so It would be plenty for the burbs..trust me.

Go Kawasaki !!

I have the 07' ZX6R in Black.

Awesome bike, very compact and it screams for track work and to be pushed. Average rider won't see much difference between all the 600's from all manufacturers as there is hardly anything between them in terms of performance.

I went kwaka because i felt it was the best in terms of handling and the corners were what most riders enjoy - anyone can go fast in a straight line.

The look of the 07 has grown on me and i prefer it to the 06's - also the 06's digi tacho just doesnt look as good as the analog of the 07'.

Love the 07, no doubt about it.

i haven't ridden the 07 but from all reports the power & torque are down compared to 06, but handling is sharper on the 07. But that can always be solved by getting your suspension sorted and aftermarket parts anyway.

plus i prefer the 05/06 cuz it looks meaner than the 07s, which just looks like a anorexic alien boy, especially in green. but i agree, i still hate my tacho...

but again its up to your own personal preference, there wouldn't be much difference if you're not pushing it hard.

Boys on Foxtel sbk coverage have been saving that the 07 is the BEST FRAME ever made !!!!!.

If they had 1/3rd of Tencate's Budget they'd be calling the SBK Supersport the SBK Kawasaki Cup.
