Re: 00 Zx6r
every ones gonna say fix it up and sell it and get something fuel injected. however i will go into detail. i had the bike and rocked it all this year and i just got a new 636. ill break it down for you with pros and cons
98-02 zx6r
PROS:
carbs: easier to learn throttle control...smoother than carbs/aren't as twitchy as carbs. less responsive.
strong bike. mine took some decent hits and stay strong. didn't crack the frame or anything.
parts are plentiful and cheap
the bike is cheap it self. so you're not spending hell money on a bike that your more than likely gonna trash when learning if you ride ***** to the walls like i did for about 4 months. mine still fires right up and i could go stunt it right now
CONS:
Carbs: idle doesn't pull you back up on this thing. got to be smooth on the brake when on idle. its hard to do idle tricks on because you have to be so light with the brake. this is somewhat of a pro to because when you do switch to a fuel injected bike you will be SOOO much smoother on the brake riding idle will be nothing. I'm telling.. nothing.
heavy bike. very front heavy. narrow BP but its doable.
ugly bike
rearsets are weak (as with all kaws) i cut my pegs down 3/4 inch on each side to clear with the 905 cage. never had a rearset break again and still had plenty of room for my feet.
subframes are a little weak. as long as you don't gorilla scrape you'll be cool. they are easy to reinforce. i also have one of the subs that are reinforced ill sell you. i only had one problem with it once and that's cause i gorilla scraped while learning a few times.
all in all. its up to you. the bike is very stunt able. its a cheap big bike to get your foot in the door with. its strong. id have to say if your learning the only FI bike to get would be an f4i cause of the durability. it could probably handle wrecks better than any other FI bike out right.
the best solution is to not wreck

Re: 00 Zx6r
I own a 2005 ZZR 600 and it the exact same bike as a 2000 ZX6R and I agree with everything vetter said exept that it's ugly.I think it looks kinda geeky from a few angles,but from other angles I think it is a beautifuly designed bike. So it may not be the best looking bike,but it is far from the worst,I think the headlight,front fairing looks mean. It is top heavy compared with my F4i ,and if I ride the honda ,then jump on the kawi, it feels like riding a sherman tank!!! but it is a damn good bike anyway ,so good luck with it !!!! Jah,rastafari..................................... .....
