kawasaki zx6r

[daffy]

Next bike for me, 2000+ so j model onwards and under 25km what's is there to look for avoid? What's the 636 model about?

[RhynoCZ]

As far as I know, 636 has got a bit more of torque, power and more ''sporty'' gearbox. I also have this one on my to buy list.

ZX6R's below 1997 had frame that cracked every now and then.

I'd say do standard check for leaks, for cracks and after the test ride check the front brake if both discs are equally hot. 2000's till 2003 I think had six-pots from Tokico. Those brakes are good if maintained, but the set of seals can be around 55-60 pounds.It is common that from those 12 pots on the front wheel work only 5 to 7 pots.

A1P is softer and more comfortable. B1H is well equipped, sharp, fast, not very comfortable and not far off as capable as a modern 600, despite being 10 years old. Recommended.

Probably valve collets and regular headgasket failure. It's not like Kawasaki ever sorted either issue out properly.

I have an A1P and its about the most comfortable bike I have owned. Its not as nice looking as the B1H model, but I got a low mileage minter at a good price and could see myself keeping it as a nice all-rounder if I get something even faster in a couple of years.

If you can afford a B1H id hold out and wait for a cheap C1H or even C6F 05/06 model, can get them for similar prices if you keep a regular lookout and snap them up. 636 is just that little extra really, only noticable difference will be your tax band being higher and possibly a tad more on the insurance great bikes though

[Musketeer]

My J2 is 599cc, quite low power at low revs, but once it go over 7k rpm it makes me grin even now after all those miles done on it. 636cc would be better, if you can get that go for it.. but J2 is great, and don't hesitate if you get one for a good price. Probably not noticable speed difference between J2 and A1P, but A1P gives that little bit extra flexibility.
I'll be keeping my J2 purely for track days.

If you are considering The J1/J2, Don't rule out the G1/G2 (98/99) as they are basically the same bike.

The Tokico 6 pots are very good when well maintained, spongey as fuck if not.

What are they like on the track?

Been looking at these lately with a view to maybe turning it into a track bike.

i dont like the styling of the g models but love the early 00's

are they pretty much bomb proof or is there things to look out for?

C6F is the best zx6r IMO, but I am biased.

636 FTW
