Theres a 93 ZX600 around me for like 950 bucks. I was wondering what you guys thought about these bikes? Any unbias opinions? Anyone ever rode one? How is it in reference to a beginner bike? Thanks in advance.

I rode on friends ZX6 ,iirc 94
The bike is sorta sport tourer ,comfy and fast ,suspension is plush so needs upgrading for serious cornering but otherwise OK
The engine is one of the best features of the bike,with RAM air intakes it loves to rev high but it's also torquey lower down ,
puts down about 94 rearwheel hp and a nice torque curve ,as you pick up speed ,the RAM effect kicks in more hp and the howling
sound from the intakes is great  :thumb:
For a beginner it can be heavy to handle at 430 lbs dry, it feels wide (...it is wide  :icon_razz: ) and it's clad in those expensive to replace plastics
and don't forget it's fast , but it is considered entry level 600 bike so if it isn't your first bike then it's OK
