What is a 599cc??

Question

Why does the 08 Kawasaki 650R have 649cc?

and

The 08 Kawasaki ZX-6R have 599cc?

What is the difference between this two? I know one is a super sport bike and the other one isnt. What is the difference on cc's?

Answer 1

CC's stands for cubic centimeters which is a unit for displacement. The higher the the cc number is the faster the bike is. So the 650R with 649cc would be faster than the 6R

Answer 2

Ya mango is 100% wrong

The ZX6R is a competitive bike, so it's under 600cc aka 599cc for competition. It's an inline, which is way faster than a parrallel twin.

The 650R isn't going to be entered in a race, so they went 649cc.

Answer 3

i'd say the difference in cc's is 50, but you may want to use a calculator and check the math yourself

Answer 4

ZX6R is a race bike. They have to make it 599cc so it can make into that certain race class. It's like when boxers have to be under a certain weight to box in any weight class.

ZX6 is a sport bike, and the 650R is a sport tourer. The engines are geared differently to reflect a more race type performance on the ZX6 and toned down performance on the 650R.

More CCs does not equal more speed.

Answer 5

You can do the math and find the displacement difference.  But the zx6 is a sport bike with a motor more designed that way that may have a funny powerband to it.  The 650 is more streetable without all the strange powerband that a sport bike has.  It is normal for these companies to make thier bike a few cc smaller than what is said for reasons like insurance and emmisions to make sure they fit into certian classes of bikes.

Answer 6

It is a measure of displacement.  It means cubic centimeters.

The difference in these bikes is night and day, and though the 650R has more displacement the ZX-6R, the latter is a race bike, not a commuter.  Do some more research online.

It will also do exactly what the rider tells it to do, even if the rider tells it to do something wrong.

Answer 7

CC means cubic centimeter and it is volume of piston displacement between TDC and BDC. Normally higher displacement means higher power. But a better designed engine may give more power than a slightly say 10-15 % higher displacement engine.
