. , l 0* DOWN, 0* PAYMENT, 0* INTEREST j Stronger. Quicker. Lighter. NINJA® ZX-6R E very sportbike rider wants a clear "advantage" - a technological edge the competition can't touch. Well, the all-new Ninja® zx6R has it. More displacement equals more muscle, so we gave the ZX-6R's compact new DOHC In-Line Four a displacement bump to 636cc. Next, we added wild 12.8:1 lightweight pistons, electronic fuel injection, a stratospheric redline for peak power, and a close-ratio gearbox to maximize performance. ' And the ZX-6R reflects Kawasaki's possion for turning low mass into precise handling. We started with a new pressed-aluminum perimeter frame and extruded aluminum swingarm, then added a class-leading inverted 41 mm front fork and Bottom-Link UNI-TRAK® rear suspension with piggy-bock shock. Super-wide 17-inch rims, Z-rated radial rubber, and Moto-GP inspired bodywork complete this rather tantalizing picture. So let'em cry foul. You and your advant-age will be long gone by then. • All-new engine displaces 636cc due to a 2mm larger bore. Composite chrome-plated cylinders with 5mm shorter skirts reduce weight. The result is more mid-ronge punch thon the competition. o o DOJIVn Paylnents 0% Interest UnOl January 2004 on selBc# InOdBIs* • All-new aluminum perimeter frame is lighter, more compect. Roke is 25 degrees.
