I can't find anything conclusive, Wiki says the actual ZX6 wasn't introduced til like 96. But the seller is also selling a 1992 "ZX6" He's selling the one pictured for dirt cheap cause it has no title but I can get one.
I've decided 5 bikes isn't enough so I need another :D

Thanks!

Can't you just check the frame tag for the build date??

The seller doesn't want to. Literally. I'm not making this up.

Sounds like he doesn't really want to sell it then if he's not willing to take a moment to check.  Kawi started using the "ZX6" designation in 1990.  The color scheme is very mid-90's, I'd have to see the headlights to guess at a year.

Edit:  I'll guess 1994 or 1995, what do I win??

Awesome! Thank you, it does look like a 94 or 95.

I wouldn't bother with him. No title and he can't be stuffed to look at a number on the frame.

you can find the ZX6s(non-zx6R) for pretty cheap. I always see them on craigslist, get excited to open it and find out that's what it is. In S.A.T. terms, zx6 is to Katana what zx6r/ninja is to gsxr.

Love those colors though!

Hey, it has been a while, I was brought back by the new of Madjak's crask. No more Buell, I sold it back in August, thought about using the money to replace it with something else but then I spent it all haha, so it's just me and the yz426 sumo, but I'm ok with that!

A friend of mine had a 93 (When I had my CBR 600 F2) in the black and teal.... it was the ZX11's baby brother (style wise). Only thing "bad" I remember is they had a recall on the swingarms (bad weld)- but that was only for 1993 I believe.   

It was a little better than a Katana to GSXR difference. The Ninja 600 was more of your Katana equivalent.. (1985-1997 a,b,c versions).

How much did/does he want for it with no title?  What color is the  92 (likely the production date and it's a 93..)





When the 2nd Amendment is lost, the rest will soon follow.

Torque is LBs-FT Damn it.
Yeah that was me.    One of my rides

I've got a CBR600F2 now :)
And he finally told me the year, it's a 95 and he wants 300 for it.

I had a 93 in the Red White and Blue.  Stolen 13 months after I bought it... (I LOVED that bike..). Got a ZX11 after that one....

$300 for a non titled bike.... was it titled to him?  Go low...

What's it cost you to get a title...?
