My custom '95 ZX6-R

Hi guys,

New here, this is my first post.

Bought my ZX6-R about 18 months ago. Previous bikes included;

- Honda VT250F SE
- Aprilia RS125
- Kawasaki KLR250
- Yamaha FZR250

So the 600 is my first big bike..... took me less than 48 hours to crash it.

Went for a ride with some mates who took me down a road they didn't know, came around a blind corner, road turned to gravel and the rest as they say is history.

Highsided the bike at about 40km/hr (25mph) and did a stupid amount of damage to the fairings and various necessary components. Appologies as I have no photos of the accident, just wanted to get it fixed.

Took me a week of fairly solid work to get it riding again and 3 months to get the fairings fixed up. Rode the bike in underboat for about 8 months before finally respraying it 2 weeks ago... Here's what it looks like now;







Let me know what you think!

Like it a lot have a 95 also half in paint half not

Maybe need some black paint on the headers just before the slip on

I want SS headers to complete the look (if I can justify the price...) so didn't get too carried away on anything else.

Cheers for the comments guys.

It's off the road at the moment due to a dud spark plug. And I'll be off the road in a weeks time due to a knee recon... happy days...
