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 :wink:

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.
