2002 Kawasaki ZZR600 review from United States of America
"An excellent daily runner"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
It has been as reliable as an appliance. I do all daily maintenance and oil changes/chain adjustments myself.
General comments?
This is a great daily runner. I had a ZZR400CC in Japan before this and that is why I bought the ZX-6E (ZZR-600) in the USA.
It has a smooth engine, good power, good comfort and allows a passenger.
I get over 50 miles per gallon when I am cruising for pleasure. Even riding hard I get more than 45 mpg on regular (87 octane) gasoline.
