2008 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R - Supersport Motorcycle

[@nls8520]

I am sorry to hear that you lost your brother, I have a brother myself, and couldnt imagine losing him. You are right, unfortunatley you cant stop people from doing what they want, thats free will. My bro wants to get a bike and as much as I like bike's, I dont want him to get hurt, but I cant stop him or control what he does. I am so sorry to hear that you had to go through that man. Take care and keep your head up.

[@adrenalineboyzryan]

A slipper clutch allows you to downshift very fast to come into a corner as fast as possible without locking up the rear tire. The race bikes have been using them for years, but now the manufacturers are putting them on the street bikes. They work great!

[@Teshuler]

Really like my bike, I did the Jumper Mod, opened the stock exhaust, and unhooked the exhaust butterfly servo, put on a set of Bridgestone BT016 rubber and had my suspension tuned for my weight and riding position. I runs strong and handles great. Couldn't be happier with it. Next thing will be a set of stainless brake lines

[@kellyvtec]

man, that green looks different in all kinds of lighting, its crazy

[@TnTlegard]

AWESOME!! I love Kawasaki...

[@blackeagles12345]

Hunter Thompson said faster, faster, faster...until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death :) Bikes rock. :) Any riders in houston ???

[@ifeeldrunk151]

this is a nice bike. i know this is for the 08version, but i have an 07 model and its great. i used to ride mostly suzuki 750s and an occational 1000 in other models. i was very impressed by how it handled. the use of the slipper cluch did well when down shifting before and during each turn. all the things he said were right on. a very fun bike to ride in my opinion. it could use a lil more power, but thats what the p.commander and slip on or racing exhaust pipes are for. ;)

[@dhom100]

best looking bike in the middleweight class and sweet sounding too. don't see why they don't have a red version too. the Kawi 250 comes in red.

[@JMPC90]

@speeder741 I sat on K8-K9 Suzuki GSXR, 2008 Kawasaki ZX6R, 2010 Kawasaki ZX6R, 2008 Honda CBR600, and 2007 Yamaha R6; and I find the seating on the 08 ZX6 the best. I'm 5'7/5'8 and own an 04 ZX6RR. I don't recommend this bike if your short or my height. It's quite big. If your looking for a bike still, or own one already. Find and get the most comfortable one.

[@TheMachRider]

"bars low, pegs high" there's a street disadvantage as well as a comfort disadvantage. he also mentions there being a good midrange, and if my experience on the 07 was any clue, the top end left a little to be desired on the track.

[@jenkz16]

this bikes a beast was on the back of one 2day ;)

[@Mitchy1400]

omg! that's one heck of a bike ! i love it =D

[@s54bmw]

@speeder741 It's 2012 now, and I just bought an 08 ZX6R SE. Love it!!!! Preferred over the newer ones

[@mortdoggy]

pick the one which you think looks better or the brand you like most cause when it comes down to it, the preformance of these bikes are quite similar and more often then not the rider will make the differance.

[@RippinSkullz]

@Mishomtp the second headlight is for brights.

[@BetaMerc]

so what u reccomend for motorcycle reviews?

[@msharksb]

@wowcrazy70 sounds like you don't have full coverage and yeah, the zx 6r is a supersport so the insurance is about 1000. the 250r and the 650r are sport bikes. i have a 650r and i pay 400+ a yr partial coverage was around 150.

[@BetaMerc]

thxs

[@JMPC90]

@Teshuler A friend of mine dropped his bike an inch and Handling made a big difference; in a negative way. I wish to have them Stainless Brake Lines one of this day.

[@High145]

More info...what was quartermile times?

[@villanuevamarck]

like the color.

[@Maxmaj1q]

Go to kawasaki's wbsite. The 09 looks really cool, the front end is kind of ugly ( similar to the new zx10. But the new zixxer lost 20 pounds!!! Plus kawasaki drasticly improved the zx6's already amazing low and midrange power! check out the monster edition :)

[@CHOPERUS23]

Very true my friend. All I say as a zx6r owner is buy one as they are crazy. Flat out in 1st you will get over 80mph easy as it red lines at 17 and a half thousand rpm and has a max rev of 20k. NUTS

[@Dontgetenslaved]

Mine is exactly like they show riding. I would have to say they are wrong about top end. Mine was factory and just got an exhaust on it and it goes 189mph like it should. Very good bike over all. I can still go out and stomp some ass. It says something when you can out run a trooper charger on it,

[@123ihk123]

thanx

[@schokoprinz]

hey i got a 2005 ZX6R anyone know where i can get the 2008 lime green rims for my bike, or do those rims not fit on my bike?

[@123ihk123]

what is a slipper clutch?

[@AntonR5]

@dhom100 lol the 08 zx6r comes in red aswell.

[@adrenalineboyzryan]

The ZX6 636 was discontinued in 2006. They have 599 cc's again.

[@eppiegood]

the "bikes bitchin"... har dee har har.. lol!

[@carlgar2007]

What are you talking about dude? the 636 it's has been discontinue since 2007

[@wowcrazy70]

@msharksb nope i definetly have full coverage maybe its diferent were u live

[@ozzie147]

say im 18, how would it be

[@adrenalineboyzryan]

Yeah, my buddy has an '05 and he is gonna keep it till it dies. Much like most people that bought one.

[@JMPC90]

@msharksb I personally know people who pay about $25.00 a month from State Farm. Currently have Geico and paying 10x more. Planing on switching as soon a possible to State Farm.

[@nativebrother]

But yeah, I agree...forgot to mention.

[@gifkikker56]

hey i got a 2008 zx6r lime green.

[@Teshuler]

1600 a year, but I have one ticket. :) 92 in a 55

[@vinesboyseventysix]

You should stop searching for bike videos on You-Tube if they upset you man - look for something more your style & try to enjoy life instead of getting angry.

[@YZ250er]

Whats funny is I'm absolutely positive you've never rode one in your life

[@ThePacMan8u]

Insurance on this bike is gonna be less than the 636 verision of the zx6r because the 36 extra cc's puts you in a whole other insurance bracket but its still not gonna be cheap at all, its a sportsbike c'mon. I think the 153 was per month, but I dont think a 16 year old would get insurance that cheap unless it was under your parents name.

[@minibus1351]

they should have used a single guy to test the bikes.. The review would have been more consistant..

[@redraiders2K9]

All the motorcycle reviews seem contradictive.

[@1DAWWWG]

Only 1 small mistake on that two wheels is enough to lose him,it doesn't even have 2 be hes fault,when my bro died,a mercedes took his way and killed him and the fool inside of it was on the fucking phone not even looking at the traffic..I cant belive I ain't gonna see my big man again,Life is too short,and if anybody who I love get one of those again,I swear to god I'ma CRUSH that evil shit,not caring how much it costs!! ALL YA THINK THAT KINDA SHIT WON'T HAPPEN TO YOU, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT !

[@FeelThePunkBlast]

Haha, I'm looking into getting a 250r which isn't to bad on the wallet as far as insurance goes as far as I hear, but i'm 16 and it would be in the driveway. haha, damn.

[@OnTheRocks08]

a 600ccm can own a gsx-1300 turbo.. just depends on the track ;)

[@zx6r07green]

kawa rulzzz

[@nativebrother]

Maybe you can assume then, that anything they didn't mention was good, is lacking.

[@wowcrazy70]

dead ass bro ? were do u live i only pay 150 a year well maybe cus its a 250

[@CHOPERUS23]

Motorcycle News

[@tervorj]

@46DOCTOR46 got to agree with you in the uk you cant ride that bike never mind get insurance if your 16 lol

[@bmx214racer]

[@dukviper90]

[@tervorj]

@kftkft lol cheeky git anyway if you earned that kind of benjamins you would have bought the bike outright why would you say im old i started late 20s and have full no claims

[@tervorj]

@kftkft sheeeesh 1700 big ones for 3rd party insurance bend over and pay up sport mines 190 fully comprehensive for a 636 ,be carefull if your bikes on finance you have to have comp insurance incase you drop it it gets paid to the finance company
