Ninja 650R is already here. So, what's next?
It could be very beneficial for India Kawasaki Motors to launch ZX 6R next, my reasons are:
1. It could be the only bike in its Supersports 600 category for a long time. CBR600, R6, etc. are unlikely to make it here soon...
2. Many racers down south would prefer a legal serviceable 600 I4 from a showroom for their racing purposes. ZX 6R would go to a lot of these people.
3. It has a tremendous fan following, no arguement with that. For 5-8 Lacs of their money, people want hellraisers, eyeturners and brain numbing machines, not some tourers from the 90's.
Of course, I'm an exception, I still love the N650R for whatever it is.
4. After all, when R1, CBR 1000, etc. made it here despite being unpractical pieces of machinery, then what's so terribly wrong with ZX 6R?
5. Its' "performance" works alright! It brakes hard, it handles good, it accelerates hard, it has an elaborate console! There are no weak spots in its performance, except maybe the peaky engine, at low revs.
Of course, Kawasaki people should give a book alongwith it, about "Using Supersport Bikes on Indian Roads".
