2005 ZX600-E13 (ZZR600) in Light Silver [3 pics]

Thu Dec 16, 2004 1:44 pm

I was in Melbourne yesterday (for one day). During lunch I went into Cosways Kawasaki Dealer @384 Elisabeth st. and saw the new 2005 ZZR600, aka ZX600, E13 (3 pics below). In October I was told by NSW Kawasaki rep. the 2005 colour would be silver. The actual colour is light silver, dark frame and no graphics.

Apparently there were 2 shipped to Vic with another lot expected in April. The silver E13 replaces the 03/04 blue colour. The price is same as 2004 model, $12,790 +otr

Call me biassed but I still prefer the darker 2002,E11 colour with graphics. :P Not sure when or if we'll see the new shape ZZR600 but it looks like the ZZR600 (ZX600) will still be available in Australia in 05. :D

It just seems a bit dull, like it's missing something - maybe it's the lack of graphics or the darker frame? Not sure...

Yeah I'd say it's the lack of graphics, black mirrors & rear grip bar, and especially the greater contrast between the body colour and dark frame.

I think you're right - be interesting to see what comes out here in Sydney.

Am glad they are still the same seat height anyway :)

No competition in my mind Silver Fox. Your colour scheme is definitely much nicer than the new model. Just looks plain :?

I think that's going a bit too far ;)
It's not bad for a light coloured bike - the mirrors and grab-rail colour matched would've been better.
I'm not keen on the light colours though anyway - like em dark and mean
