Project 1990 ZX6
This is Jamie's 1990 Kawasaki ZZR ZX6, it's his first bike and from what we have heard it's great to learn on. When purchased it was already heavily modified. The bike was raced by the previous owner in the early 90's, and mods include: Yoshimura system (zx6's come stock with dual exhaust), raised pegs, fiberglass solo seat, race chain and sprockets, jet kit, steal braided front brake lines,and sbs pads. With a fresh coat of paint this 10 year old bike was looking pretty good. Halfway through the summer Daytona Motorsports goes out of business and has a HUGE sale. The prices were so low that we would have been idiots not to buy all this stuff. Here are some prices: Tanks $10, Engines $100, Slip-ons $10. We all ended up spending alot of money and walked away with truck loads of parts (as seen in the pics). Currently the ZX6 has just had its frame, swing-arm, and rims polished (by Jamie). Since the exhaust's from Daytona were all fairly old, Jamie bought a new full Muzzy titanium system, which looks and sounds great. More info to come as it happens.
