what would be acceptable milage if I buy this bike?

[verticalization]

i'd say anywhere between 15-up to 30k.. depending on how it was taken care of/ridden..

@starshooter10 Ive seen a E1 go almost 175 with a Vance and Hines pipe ,fresh sync on the carbs and Rock Oil in it. The later production models in 1993 (E2,E3) have 8 less horsepower. Kawasaki changes the production number on the E engine in accordance to production date. E1 = jan-april, E2 =may-aug E3=sept-dec.

E1 will hit somewhere around 160-165 stock and in tune...all models made after April 1993 until the late 90's will go 155-160. 93 was the first year of the E engine.

@verticalization i been seeing them go for 5-6 grand with 50,000 miles and second gear gone and 9 grand with low miles and the gearbox fix. These are getting very collectible. If you know where one is for cheap,jump on it.

@netrioter my second gear was on its way out pretty much the whole time i owned the bike.. it was really bad when i sold it, sad :(

[netrioter]

@netrioter BUT...the gearboxes are horrible that year...any of you guys lose second gear?

[netrioter]

the 1993 ZX6 E1 was faster than any ninja 600 till almost 1999. i guess they did something to the E1's that they didnt do to the e2 or e3 that year.. . I know someone who only collects the 1993 E1. I guess they have a 7-8 hp advantage

@EagleWoLF777 check the cut out switch on the kick stand

[starshooter10]

@ruggedrider7 Ive seen mine top 160 on the speedo just at redline in 5th gear... ran out of room for 6th though i dont know if it would be able to overcome the wind resistance at those speeds in 6th gear.
