Road test: Kawasaki ZX-6R 636

Lets start with the engine, as much as anything because it really is in a class of one. What's its secret? 37cc over the opposition, it doesn't sound like much, but boasting a full capacity of 636cc makes so much difference you really need to ride it back to back with one of the smaller capacity competitors to appreciate the difference. Power delivery from the fuel injection is about as faultless as you'd want it to be. Rolling on and off, even from fully closed throttle at low around town revs produces no unexpected hiccups or lags - top tackle!
