With competition from Suzuki's GSX-R600,getting more aggressive, Kawasaki decided to make an unusual move for the 2003 model year. They increased the capacity of the traditional 600 cc (37 cu in) motor to 636 cc (38.8 cu in). For riders who needed bikes for displacement-restricted racing, Kawasaki also made available a limited production 599 cc (36.6 cu in) version called the Ninja ZX-6RR, but the 636 cubic centimetres (38.8 cu in) ZX-6R would be their main mass production middleweight sport bike.
Which one do you prefer between these two heavyweight motorcycles?
Personally, I think Kawasaki's ZX-14 is simply better than Suzuki's bike, mostly thanks to its powerful engine. Although Hayabusa's name really underlines the power of the motorcycle, Kawasaki managed to produce a bike that was even better. I guess you know the history: Suzuki attempted to design a motorcycle that would be able to reach a higher speed than Honda's Super Blackbird, a bike which became famous for the super high speed it was able to achieve. Well, they managed to build it so they named it Hayabusa, a bird which could reach a top speed of more than 300 km/h and which eats.. blackbirds!
So, what's your opinion about these two bikes?
