Default How long do you think Kawi will keep this model around?

Think the ZZR600 name plate will be around for a bit yet?

It depends on how well it sells itself. As any who does their research knows, it's been around for a while already...just with a different name. As R&D changes, names change. I hope it will be around for at least 5 years.

I think I read some place that bikes are suppose to be fuel injected by 07...not 100% sure but I have that in my head. If that is the case they atleast have to change that. It wouldnt surprise me if the dont change it in 07. The 650R looks more like a sport tourer than our bike does anyway.

I think they have a good market still. They can't keep them in stock out here. There's 3 at work. So what if it's "older" technology, it's still a very capable bike.

Most of the shops around here can't keep them on the showroom and are wishing they had more. The performance, price and insurance breaks make it a desirable machine. Even if they change it I am sure the ZZr6 will continue on in the Kawy lineup.
