ZX6R - B1H question - SV650.org

25-07-06, 09:00 AM

What colours did the 2003/04 B1H, B2H zx6r's come in for the UK? I have found pictures of Orange, Green, Blue, Black and Silver, though I'm wondering if some of these are US only colours.

Anyone know? - VB I'm looking in your direction!

I've seen all but orange.

This one definately looks US from the extra reflectors everywhere.

Blue black green and silver between the B1 and B2's.... I think Orange was a US only one... you can tell the US ones as you said.. reflectors all over the things!

Orange was US and Canada, I think. One of the PB team imported one just for the colour

I've seen a picture of someone on the UK kwak forum with an orange B.

Yeah a guy on the Bristol bikers forum has an Orange one but as said it ain't an official UK colour but rare as rocking horse sh*t.

Still I wouldn't get the B1 if that is what this thread is really about as they are rubbish

How do the B1's and 2's differ?

One has a 1 and the other has a 2. I believe that is the main difference.

I have heard different versions in reviews and on owners sites.

Some say the only difference is that stickers are moved around and you could get Silver on a B2 but not a B1.

Others say the B2 rear shock is slightly more adjustable (or easier to adjust) and a few reviews even claim that the mapping is slightly different although I have my doubts about that.

Regardless they are all fast as feck, very uncomfortable and in terms of dangerous handling on the road make the TL1000 look like a childs toy trike.

A TL1000 owner at work told me about how he could accelerate over a crest at 120 and the bike would wheelie and go into a tank slapper. No sh*t, the B1/B2 will do that no problem!
