Some dude over on kawiforums posted this. It is claimed to be from a show in LA . The torque is down from the '05. No biggie it gives up 37cc but the dry weight is 368 lbs.('05 was 362 lbs) That sucks b/c the new cbr 600rr is 345, R6 is 357lbs, and GSXR-600 is 354 lbs. Not that this will deter me from getting an 07 zx6r. Besides it's not like a newer rider like myself will notice 15 or 20 lbs. I just thought it was supposed to be lighter than the previous one.

i will wait to the offical numbers before i swallow what the LA numbers say. I think it will be a great bike overall and the weight is in the exhast, so once you drop that stock exhast u will lose at least 10 pounds. But thats just a my 2 cents

I though I read somewhere that it had the 13.9.1 compression ratio like the RR's have...:confused

 

[crotchrckttl]

Ah ha.. I knew I was right about the compression ratio.. its even listed on Kawasaki's site.. Here..

Cool stuff:thumbup

I wouldn't get too worked up over dry weight claims, perhps kawi just lies a little less than the others Wait till folks have them on scales then compare. MCN actually weighs their test bikes and takes no advertising $$ from any bike manufactures and thus is probably one of the better sources of weight data. Their old spec lists are in the file valt:thumbup
