0* DOWN, 0* PAYMENT, 0* INTEREST Stronger. Ouicker. Lighter. NINJA® ZX-6R E very sportbike rider wants a clear "advantage" - a technological edge the competition'can't touch. Well, the ail-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.S: 1 lightweight pistons, electronic fuel injection, a stratospheric redline for peak power, and a dose-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 Sottom-Link UNI-TRAK® rear suspension with piggy-back 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. IJJ OPaYlDen,S IJ %In'eres' • All-new engine displaces 636cc due to. a 2mm largeroore. Composite chrome-plated cylinders with 5mm shorter skirts reduce weight. The result is more mid-ronge punch than the competition. UoBl January 2004 on se/~ ",odels'" • All-new aluminum perimeter frame is lighter, more compact. Rake is 25 degrees. Moving the swingarm pivot forward helps shift weight bios onto the front wheel. • New front 41 mm inverted Kayaba cartridge fork features stepless adjustment for compression and rebound damping. • Digital instrumentation in the cockpit includes a compact central instrument for the following functions: radial tachometer, speedometer, temperature, odometer, tripmeter, clock and stopwatch. Shift indicator lamp adjustable for engine rpm and brightness. "~. ;;,r:-;·;··Offer good through April' 30;2003;-:'~;"--; '..- : , . at your Kawasaki ~~aler.·· .
