I saw this bike on the Suzuki website, supposedly it's a "sport tourer".
But dealer said, it won't be sold anymore.
Is that true?
Is it a sports bike? It seems that it overlaps the GSX600?

The ZZR600 is known as different bikes in different places, in Europe it's a sport tourer that was discontinued a couple of years ago, dating from the early 90's. In the US I think it's a renamed older generation Kawasaki ZX6 supersport bike softened up a bit. Certainly more sporty than the 650F, more forward sporty riding position and lighter bike. If it were sold in the UK it wouldn't be called a sport tourer.

ZZR600 is the 2002 ZX-6R. The European ZZR was also sold in the US as the ZX-6E. The ZX-6E is a cheap man's VFR. It had a center stand, fuel gauge, and even decent fairing with storage. The ZZR600 that was and is sold in the US since 2005 is the old Ninja sports bike. It is an excellent bike, but a little old in the tooth. supposedly has a wonderful carburated engine that is very powerful in the midrange. Much more aggressive riding position than the GSX650F. As I see it in the US, the competitors to the GSX650F are the FZ6R and FZ6 from Yamaha.
