- I have owned 112 motorcycles since 2000. This is my go to bike, fun great all around ride, fast, sporty, but not cramped like a 600RR bike. Only issues are no ABS and no fuel injuection. Bring this back Kawasaki with a 636 engine
2005 Kawasaki ZZR-600 - $4190
8300 miles.
Daily Driver. Lowest price ZZR600 in region for miles
Miles increase 100 per week.
Excellent condition. It has a detuned Kawasaki ZX-6R engine so it handles more like a sport bike than a boring Ninja 650 / Yamaha FZ6R. About 100HP and comfortable too. Ready to go all season, doesnt need any maintenance.
Tires have plenty of tread
Battery is new Die-Hard Jul 2021, cost $105
Battery tender and small charger
Puig windscreen
Frame sliders drilled through the fairings.
Carbs cleaned earlier this year.
Runs great. Needs no maintenance. Oil changed in fall 200 miles ago. Only thing is some times when starting, especially when the engine is warm, you have to have the throttle open a little. If you are not familiar with carb bikes or are a beginner, maybe best to get fuel injected or a slower bike. You have to understand a choke and not to flood engine.
Stock wind screen included
Price Firm. I know all the scams so dont bother. It will be a cash sale only and you will get the title, with no lien, at time of transaction. I am finacially set for life and dont need money, retired from the service, no games.

I have one , mine is a few years older but , I love driving it more than new bikes. The sound and the feeling is awesome
In the 80's and 90's sportbikes were designed for the street and track. Around the turn of the century they turned into street legal track bikes. They make more peak power today but that's because they spin higher, the powerbands have just been shifted up. But they've lost that midrange that's nice on the street. Kawi kind of put a band aid on it with the 636. Riding positions have got more aggressive and they've lost most of the underseat storage.
When the 4th gen ZX6R came out in '03 some people were complaining about all that. So in '05 they brought back the 3rd gens and called it the ZZR600. The only change is a different fairing stay to get rid of that 90's style huge fairing stay. That's why you see those empty bolt holes on the frame on each side of the tank, that's where the stay bolted on to. Besides that it's the exact same bike.
Yamaha kind of did the same thing with the 06-08 R6S. It's actually the 03-04 R6 but they added the "S" for street. IMO sportbikes from the 90's are better ones for people who hardly see the track, if ever. But they are still kick ass track bikes.
I had one in the same color. Traded it in for a 06 zx6r and started missing the zzr over time. The zzr is just so damn comfortable.
Just bought a 2007 ZZR600. I will be posting videos on it on YT.
I just bought one as well
😂 I did as well like 2 months ago. Love it!
It is one of the best looking bikes ever produced just so pretty
Great bikes, anything over 8000rpm puts your eyes back in your head
I have 2005 ZZR .Also had 2007 silver one that I traded for a 2002 Honda F4i . This is a ZX6J . Exact sane bike as 2000-2002 Ninja ZX6R . Not actually exact . They got rid of 90's big metal fairing stays. So acually more modern looking there but paint fools police ,EPA , insurance compaies ,even other riders . Its a sleeper & I used to spook squids on literbikes and blow them off road with it ! Owned 2 04'636's & 3 05'636' .This is my favorite for the streets & still can be made into a formidable track weapon in even now in 2023 .An experienced rider on one of these could shread 80% of other guys on Sunday squid days.
After getting my m1 I wanted to get the zx6r but couldn’t find one came across one of these in red 2007 and I don’t regret buying it super comfortable and puts down a good amount of power
It's the same bike is the ZX6R 2002 Exact same bike real talk I think they did it for Cheaper insurance smart move very smart move. My brother had a ZX6R 2002 and wanted my fairings I got the 2008 ZZR600 lol the ZX6R and I wanted his farings so we switched fairings. I had the candy apple red my brother had the red black and white 2002 ZX6R. We raced them both I get him and he got me I guess Whoever got the 1st jump won the exact same bike same Motors frame Fairings everything man real talk... a lot of people don't understand or don't believe you I wish I could put up pictures to show you man.
Really a great looking bike.
Just picked up a 99 zzr600 (UK model). Sitting a while so needs carb work. Can't wait for kit to arrive
There's a cold idle adjustment screw below the carbs that you can turn to warm it up then turn it down when hot ....1350rpm I believe is the idle speed (warm)....I had the ZX6R 636 , loved it but herniated a disc and had to sell it.
I had a carb jet kit and a Yoshimura pipe...the thing ripped
I can attest. This is a great bike and it will top out very high.
This my favorite color of this model. I have a 99' CBR600F4 Carb and I painted this blue with gold wheels and engine covers
The zzr600 is basically a zx6 like the gsx600f and gsxr600 the zzr and gsx600f are awesome bikes
2005 thru 2008 zzr 600 is the same as a 2002 zx6r. Just re-added zzr
They categorized it as spt touring to reduce ins.cost.
Slight differences .
Handle bar risers.
And axle diameter a bit smaller. Grab handles on rear.
The 03 and 04 zx6r is 636cc and EFI similar frame and fairings
I have the same exact bike just hit 40k and runs great 👍
How many times have you had the valves adjusted?
This is an epic bike but I'm so glad i watched this video. My brothers have all had bikes. Ive never riden or took any courses for a bike riding and recently my friend let me try his ninja 300. The fear and exhilaration was unlike anything ive experienced before!
Even so if that bike didnt have abs, prob wouldnt be a good time. 😂 As for the ZZR its just too old school for me in terms of tech. Maybe once I become more experienced with bikes I'll consider it again.
You have the history of this bike all wrong! The '05-'08 ZZR600 is the exact same bike as the '00-'02 ZX-6R; in fact the manufacturer's stickers on the frames state that both of these bikes are the model ZX6J.
They are identical. The ZZR600's fairings have understated paint schemes as part of the re-manufacturing and re-badging of the '00-'02 J model, selling as a sport-tourer.
You beat me to it...
Why cant they make a bike like this now? If they put the 636 engine in a similar chassis thay weighted less than 430lbs wet with no electronic aids and 120 horsepower id be in love. Im a newer rider with my Z400 and really see no point in electronic aids. I got the ABS model but have yet to even use it. As well as had gotten used to the 50 horsepower in a matter of days.
Don't forget about the reserve gas tank reason you can shut the valve off to keep the gas from damaging the carburetors
How would keeping the valve on damage the carb?
Have you tried an R1200S yet? Cool channel! Subscribed
No but that is one of the coolest looking bikes. You own one?
Yes
The thin little handle bars is my only issue..I get cramps in my hands/goes numb sometimes
Can change them out
You will never get it over 135. I owned one for 5 yrs. It looked just like yours. Super reliable and fun to ride
I don't know what was up with yours but I've had my 2007 zzr600 over 140 mph and I weigh just over 200lbs
@@johnbrickhouse2447 I had that throttle hand touching my knee and that bike wouldn’t push past 135. It was a solid bike, she never let me down
@@johnbrickhouse2447 rode her from New York to Virginia Beach and ocean city twice and once from New York to myrtle beach.the heat never bothered her. Just a lovely simple bike
@@jeffreywashington5461 that sounds like it was a fun trip
@@johnbrickhouse2447 had the bike for six years. Took it on many medium length trips
Its incredibly difficult to go slow on the ZZR.....
What kinds of tires are those ???
Yeah , they looked really chunky ,that rear one. I always just went Pilot powers
You selling that ??????
Its a zx636 2001 to 2003 model I had one
Looks exactly like a zx6r from 2000 maybe it’s a uk / us difference
Kindly ssle me one.... 😅
This looks more like a zx12r
That is not a zzr 600
It’s a 2005 zzr600 j4
Dummy
Beautiful bike the ones in the Uk
Don't look as good
