Im new to streetbikes, but i just got an 03 zx6r. i have to say that it is hella fast for a 600. Just a few questions for you smartie pants out there. what is the top speed? what is the type of headlights that are on the bike, and what should i do to increase performance? i was thinking a k&n filter, maybe an exhaust and a ecu upgrade. I love this bike, and i want to make it better, does anyone know any site i must check out to modify this bike, or to answer some of my questions. Thanks for the help, and long live the ninja!

to answer your questions....
I have had my '036R up to about 150 MPH but There was difinately way more power left but I wasn't wearing a helmet at the time so my ears started flapping and the wind was getting through my shades so I had to slow down. But I do want to really run her soon with a helmet ON! But I hear the top speed is around 165 stock. The headlights are both halogen type H7 55watt bulbs. i actually wouldn't waste your money on a K&N for this bike. After you take off all that extra blinker crap and throw flush mounts on it, I would get a full exhaust (I like SATO even more than ackropovic), with a power commander. but if you are so new to streetbikes I wouldn't go all crazy just yet in trying to make it faster and more HP. For a first bike there is actually TOO MUCH stock power in the 03 for you. Be safe, take some riding courses, and just get comfortable with the bike for at least a year. Also never modify the bike the firt 1500-2000 miles.

Faster then a speeding...

Thanks, i dont plan on doing anything to it yet, just future considerations. I have ridden bikes all my life, just never owned a streetbike. Ive ridden gixxers and once a cbr 900. But i used to race dirtbikes and so i do have some skill, just not on pavement yet

Spend your money on track days to learn how to get the most out of the power you already have under you there...

Aftermarket exhaust and possibly a power commander would be my next step. I wouldn't waste time with the K&N personally.
