Hey,
Been looking around at reviews of this bike (as a second bike) and heard nothing but good things. I'd be interested in this as a second bike or an VFR 800. Anyone have any opinions on the ZZR?

RideyourRide has a VFR and says he really likes it, it feels balanced (at least thats what he says in his vlogs

And apparently the VFR is winning over Nalian as well. Just wanted to hear what people who have experience with the ZZR say.

Thanks,
Jeff

The ZZR is a bit cheaper than the VFR. It has the 599cc I-4 engine, and the VFR has the V-4 engine.

The ZZR is lighter, and a bit more sporty. It is still very comfortable for a sport bike though. For some reason it still uses carburetors...

VFR is a bit heavier, has fuel injection, and probably has a little more comfort (but I can't say that for sure as I haven't ridden a ZZR).

The ZZR is actually a little faster than the VFR, being lighter, and having almost the same power.

BTW the ZZR is virtually the same bike as the 2000-2002 ZX6-R.
If you want sportier, I'd go for the ZZR. If you want more refined, I'd go for the VFR.
