I was considering this bike. It is the same bike as the zx-6r from 2000 to 2003. My buddy has a 2000 zx-6r and the spec sheet is the exact same. Kaw must have liked it so much that they kept it around and rebadged it as a sport "tourer". It should run pretty strong. If you get it just don't try pulling a wheelie right off the bat. My buddy did and wrecked his after only a week and now it he is looking at $2500 to fix it.
