Looks great! I still don't like the newer ZX6R headlights though.. Have fun, and be safe!

Droooool....

Great photos of a great new bike. Yours are better than the official Kawi ones if you ask me. I'm really liking the look of the all black bike.

Wow. Amazing

WOW! Beautiful pictures! And even beautifuler bike! I am jealous.

Yeah, I hate the bug eyed look. Rest of it looks good though.

Those turn signals are sweet.

Do you have any interest in trying these bulbs (http://autolumination.com/switchback.html) in those and the running lights next to the head lights? That would be sick, and would be more visible.

Whoa. I want it! Good luck with her!

congrats :) (lucky)

y r ur forks the wr0ng waY?

(I'm joking)

wow nice purchase :D

i want the aussie darker green 2012 zx6r :)

congrats - enjoy and keep the rubber side up

Kawasaki should license this picture from you to use in their advertising. Seriously nice job...and sa-weeeeet bike!

I spy a blue ninjette in the reflection of the first picture :P

appreciate the comments! I'm glad I bought and learned on the 250 first, this bike is something else.

And hopefully the next shoot will be at a different location instead of my garage :lol:

I haven't really made a list yet on the mods I want to do, but i'll keep that in mind about those bulbs!

That's why I prefer '05-'08. :thumbup:

I agree. They give the bike character. Just think it could be much worse, imagine if the bike had gsxr headlights.

yes, that is the only bike in which I completely dislike the headlights..always reminds me of a cyclops or something.

What purpose does the hole above the headlights serve?

What purpose does the hole above the headlights serve?

I always thought it was the motorcycle equivalent to a hood scoop on a car.

Pretty much. It's the highest pressure airflow at the front of the bike, and it's channeled right into the sealed airbox to produce a ram air effect. Doesn't do much at speeds that are anywhere near legal. But at 150 mph, estimates are from 5 to 10 extra hp.

Either way, it looks BA.

Awesome bike! Congrats!

You are correct - unless you are running above 100 mph there is no noticable advantage, but it feels like a different motor when in the power band above those speeds - cooler air really helps because the amount of heat this engine puts off is crazy compared to the 250R. Weather has recently gotten hot and the amount of heat I now feel around my legs is crazy - for a second I thought I might be in danger of overheating, but the temp reading was normal.

I love the look of the headlights compared to the others (minus the high end bikes) - Suzuki looks like a scooter coming at you - Yamaha looks like an insect - Honda just looks old - Kawasaki looks more like a bird of prey.

I had on my fender eliminator on for a couple of weeks when I heard the horrible sound of tires screeching behind me - I had no out so I closed my eyes and waited, but luckily nothing happened, but the lady was yelling "I am so sorry - I just didn't see you" as she pulled up to me at the next light. So I have put the ugly rear fender back on because in my mind it makes the bike have a "bumper" that people should see better - which I know is BS, the fender is not going to prevent anything. I mean hell, the bike is lime green.

Best looking color for this model year - I am still think a Kawasaki should be lime green, or at least have something lime green. It is the only time you can get away with a color that belongs on nothing else.

damn, and here i thought it was an extra form of natural air conditioning to keep people cooler on hot days. way to burst my bubble. :p
