1994 Kawasaki ZZR600 review from United Kingdom
"Like it a lot, but bit heavy though"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Front calipers stick need constant maintenance.
Exhausts suffer from rust on inside, but to be fair, in the 2 years I've had it, it's been outside in all weathers.
General comments?
I reckon it's a quick bike; not far behind most 600s. The only problem I've got is don't get too close; they will out brake you, and it's also a bit heavy when you chuck it into corner at speed. Low speed scrape footrest no problem.
I can ride all day only problem, but it gets very thirsty if you screw it too much.
