Got a zx6r 1999 in red/black colour with 3800km on the clock. Fantastic fun bike to ride. Love the sound when revs it over 8'.

[@CycleHunters]

We love that uncorked sound too.

I have a 99 zx6r still riden today. It's black purple mica color! It's my first bike, been riden for 3 seasons and got it for a steal from my buddy who was 2nd owner. $800.00 For rideable motorcycle can't beat it!

Love how you present this video. Im looking at a 2001 zx6r tomorrow to go with my 2004 zx10r.

Thank you very much.

Insane I just got my neighbor's old 01 zx6r to add to my collection which also includes a 04 zx10r

[@zontaylor8328]

I have a 2000 636 love it

[@uhtred7860]

That would be an 02 if it has the 636 engine, (unless someone fitted a 636 motor into a 2000) This gen ZX-6R was a 600 for 2000 and 2001, switching to a 636cc engine for the 2002 year. Then it was a completely new model for 03 with fuel injection radial brakes, upside down forks and new looks, (still a 636 they also sold a ZX-6RR: A 599cc machine homologated for racing in Supersports).

[@shawnbriggs-q6l]

The Candy Lightening Blue '01 ZX6R was, and still is my first bike. I call her, "Betty Blew". Love this bike more than my '05 ZX10R widowmaker As a beginner rider at age 40..... she is as exhilarating as having a 22 year old mistress but certainly a far safer choice. Some thought I was a fool for buying this bike as a tool to temper a budding mid life crisis.... "It's too fast!,,, it's too much power! It might be an expensive hobby! It might be dangerous! You might DIE!!!!", they said. Too fast?? Too much power? Expensive? Might be dangerous? Might die?? Pfft..... I assure you the 22 year old mistress would most certainly been too fast, too much power, and very expensive!! And if my wife caught me riding a 22 yr old that wasn't Betty Blew, i'd be in absolute danger of imminent death. Loved the review! Cheers!

[@CycleHunters]

Ahh yes they are the mistress. Lol

Can i get pics and full run down on it?

[@Mr_beats281]

[@951ptown]

QUESTION, I have the same bike….the fuel peacock does it have to be turn up facing the arrow point above matching with that or does it have to be facing down to be on the on position for the fuel? According to the bike the valve does not open to the right , every motion starts from the left side? So my question is what way is the ON? Confused about that…

[@uhtred7860]

@@guanjun1178 Thats so annoying when that happens. I once saw an ad for a 74 Ford Falcon XB Coupe (same car as Mad Max's is based on) rang the guy, made a deal, drove from one end of NZ to another towing a trailer, including a ferry across the Cook Strait, only to get there and the dickhead reneged. Even after i offered him $1000s more than the agreed price. Drove home VERY pissed off. I found out later he had done this before, apparently the car is still in his hands but rusted beyond any hope of saving. GL on finding another bike, you still going for a ZX-6R or not bothered?

[@dawsonhandberg8425]

I just got one and it only has 7000 miles on it!! But it was made into a race bike but never raced and sat for most of its life. So saying that it has no headlights etc. where would I find all the lights, fairings to fit the lights and horn for a good price?

[@WhoTFVotedBiden]

I’m looking for fairing to. Where is a reliable after market source?

[@RT22-pb2pp]

google bike fairings there are some chinese ones that are inexpensive and pretty nice do your home work, or search ebay facebook etc and gather parts. Maybe find some where to post want ads a guy who converted his to race bike may have the parts he wants to unload. or check for bike junk yards lights and stuff easy fairings usually trashed but the after market ones can fill that gap. I have seen some on line that you have to modify a bit to fit perfect but are decent quality at half the factory prices.

[@kristoferw8485]

I think this is my bike! I purchased it off a person a month ago and I think it’s this bike. Would you be open to private messaging about the bike?

[@c0llegeblock953]

hey mate little quation did u think its a good beginner bike ?

[@CycleHunters]

That depends on some things from the rider. Size, ever ride anything with a clutch? Your overall confidence to do something new is huge as well. It can be a good beginner bike for someone who is overall pretty confident in their ability to learn something new. Tall enough to sit on the bike comfortably, and having some "touch", with the clutch. More so the clutch, gas, brake relationship is a decent one or at least understood you don't let it fly out when changing gears or getting underway. Hope that helps a bit.

In my opinion I hate all the sharp edged bikes today with super high tails and angular fairings. Like the late 80s early 90s with the smoother forms of fairings.

[@CycleHunters]

@@RT22-pb2pp Well....looks are super subjective. Best looking bike to date for me at least is the Ducati Panigale V4r.

[@RT22-pb2pp]

To me older 998 ducati was sexiest ducati ever but again it is taste and we are all different.

[@CycleHunters]

@@RT22-pb2pp , yeah I had the 996s so that's one for the books for sure.

[@RT22-pb2pp]

Yeah and the 748 those were the sharpest looking ducatis to me but then I love 90s jap sport bikes, the new sport bikes are to sharp edged and angular for my tastes. I know it is all taste some like new ones I like older ones. i like the smooth flow of older body work. The round dual headlights in an old yamaha and kawasaki sport bike just was my cup of tea. Would love to have a new sport bike with 90s body work true retro mod start with great bike but graft on older body work. Like car guys do older looks all modern power reliability and suspension and tech features.

How do you get rid of the tail where the plate mounts?

There are kits you can get. We get a simple bracket as it seems to be the cleanest and then mount the turn signals to that. Typically you can find them online.
