U.S. ZZR600 ?

Post by hoffy »

I just saw this on ZRXOA.
Apparently it's the new ZZR600 in the U.S.

How come we don't get it here?
It looks sweet.
Isn't the old ZX6?

Looking at the link provided by Ms ZZR that looks pretty much the same as the one posted as the US bike to me.

Note that the link defaults to a Ninja but find the ZZR and it looks pretty much the same as the US one to me.

Looks marginally sportier I think seems to be about the main change. Fairing design at the nose is sharper, 2 piece seat now and fairing is attached in 3 pieces but differently it appears, apart from that probably still the same beat it was in 96.
