First Ride: 2002 Kawasaki ZX-6R 636
By Visordown on 12/07/2002 09:38:30
Make it bigger and better is the order of pedigree. In 2001 Kawasaki, despite the fact that their bike was probably the oldest on the grid, won the World Supersport Championship - as vindications go, it doesn't get much better than that really!
Cadwell is a perfect test bed for splitting differences between 600s, so I wanted to test the 636 alongside our blindingly quick road test editor Niall Mackenzie, and wrestle it around the painfully tight 2.2 mile circuit. This way we could compare

First Ride: 2002 Triumph TT600
By Visordown on 12/07/2002 10:07:06
When I've mentioned the TT600, a few unkind souls have been mean to suggest it was a shame the entire remaining stock of TTs wasn't destroyed in Triumph's factory blaze. Highly out of order a suggestion as this may be, it does have a reason behind it
the same dimensions as me found it a torture rack. So if you fancy a TT, try and get a good hour in the saddle first. At least getting a TT test ride shouldn't be too difficult though...Otherwise, the lack of any urge lowdown is annoying through town as you

First Ride: 2002 Suzuki GSX-R600

I like this bike. We all like this bike. The GSX-R600 has stood for one thing only since it was first launched in 1997 – sports performance
, especially not for a pillion, and 2) as easy to ride on the road as either the CBR or ZX-6R. But it performs its role of supersports (with the accent on sports) 600 so supremely well that it rules this roost. On the track it was in a league of its own.2002
