0* DOWN, 0* PAYMENT, 0* INTEREST f Stranger. Ouicker. Lighter. NINJA@ ZX-6R E very spartbike rider wants a clear "advantage" - a technological edge the competition can't touch. Well, the all-new Ninja® u6R has it. More displacement equals more muscle, so we gave the U-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 ta maximize performance.• And the U-6R reflects Kawasaki's passion 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 UNHRAK® 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. "t • All-new engine displaces 636cc due to a 2mm larger bare. Composite chrome-plated cylinders with 5mm shorter skirts reduce weight. The result is more mid-range punch than the competition. o DOlIVn OPaYlnents 0% Interest Un#1I January 2004 on selecllnodels* • 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 mcludes-o ompact central instrument for the following functions: radial tachometer, speedometer, temperature, odometer, tripmeter, clock and stopwatch.
