Picked up a new ride - Ninja ZX-6R Special Edition (pics)

Vert1go · 10th September 2009, 10:23

Since I sold my GSX-R 750, I missed having a bike so I went to the dealer last week and brought home a brand new Ninja ZX-6R Special Edition. This is a 2008 leftover model that was brand new. I like the 2008 models more than the 2009 since they have under tail exhaust, which I think looks much better.

Looks awesome! Congratulations, mate.

Congrats! Thats a sweet looking ride.

jkdas · 10th September 2009, 12:34

Congrats! IMHO,it would look great minus that chrome stripes.

prince_pervez · 10th September 2009, 12:36

Wow, congrats on the new ride. Which showroom and where ?

vkochar · 10th September 2009, 12:38

That is one sweet looking bike

Special Edition it looks !! More details like cost please. Although I see you are located outside so it is not of much help to us in India as our costs are exorbitant because of the stupid import duties.

BUT nevertheless a beautiful looking bike.

Congrats Vert1go,

I am envy on you and your Bike Ninja.
This is my dream bike and looks killer in this color and stickers.
Enjoy and Drive Safely

Thank you everyone. As you may know, I live in the USA, so these bikes are not very expensive here. I paid $8700US out the door (including taxes and all fees). I thought that was a good price, and I really like the bike.

I've only had the bike a short while, and I'm still running it in, so I haven't been able to run it through the entire RPM band (redline is at 15,500 RPM!). So far, the bike is extremely smooth and I like it more than my GSX-R 750. Riding position is great, and I'm over 6 ft. tall. The engine is very smooth and sounds great. The brakes are fantastic and the suspension feels great so far, though I have not adjusted it yet. When I ride it more I'll add more updates.

Thanks!
Greg

Congrates, its the fastest on 600 cc class due to extra 36cc advantage, its 636 cc.

Ahh !!! the crome looks so good man. congrats on the purchase.

Congrats on owning an amazing bike.We all are looking forward to a detailed ownership report.
OT- could you share some pics of the mustang?

sats · 10th September 2009, 13:40

Great bike - availability, spares and horrid import duties are something which us guys in India have to live with and only look and drool.

Enjoy and please post a riding and ownership experience and also keep the pic's coming...

Vert1go · 10th September 2009, 15:00

Thanks again everyone, I'll take more pics and some video when I ride it more.
