…measurements, once the most racy of all the 600s, are now the most undersquare among the three 599cc Japanese bikes.

…straighter path and more efficient internal shape that is said to bump peak power to 130 hp at high speeds. As a side note, Kawasaki says the 599cc ZX-6RR, also new for '05, comes up about 7 ponies short of the big-bore version. For the past several years, steering geometry has gotten more radical, with…

…separate the ZX from this group, it also comes with another tool exclusive to this quartet: a slipper clutch. Borrowed from last year's race-spec ZX-6RR, the back-torque-limiting device was nearly as dominant in pit-side conversations as the mega motor. The trick clutch aids not only multiple downshifts…

…We tried the stand on a 1999 Yamaha R1 with a 12" wide swing arm (which was narrower than a 2004 Honda RC-51, 2003 Honda Superhawk, 2004 Kawasaki ZX-6RR, 2003 Honda F4i, and a 2004 Kawasaki ZX-7R).

…motor in the R6, once the biggest bore and shortest stroke in the class, now has the smallest bore, 65.5mm to the 67.0mm slugs in the R6 and CBR (and ZX-6RR).
