It's cooked, roasted and zapped the competition regularly since 1996. Undefeated with four consecutive National #1 plates in AMA ProStar racing. And shelves-full of trophies in 600 SuperSport racing. And shelves-full of trophies in 600 SuperSport racing • On the street or track, the speed demons live in ZX-6R details, like 6-piston front brake calipers with differentially sized pistons to optimize feel. Hollow axles, hollow spoke wheels, plus magnesium alloy covers for the 599cc DOHC engine to reduce weight. And even a choice of colors.

Period. • The basis of the Mean Streak's high performance comes from solid Kawasaki engineering and technology: 4-valve alloy cylinder heads. Lightweight pistons. Single Overhead Cams. Dual spark plugs per cylinder. Reliable liquid cooling. • The big 90 cubic~nch V-twin engine in the Mean Streak with high-compression pistons pumps out 10'/0 more torque and power than any other Vulcan cruiser. • Two huge 32Dmm, six-piston front disc brakes offer sportbike-like braking performance. With differentially sized pistons, these are the strongest brakes ever to grace the front of a Kawasaki cruiser.
