[@grenzle2428]

If chase doesn't like the bike, you know it's a good bike.

[@BedBug38]

Exactly

[@thatsgangsta2450]

Grenzle 24 is it meant to say "if chase likes the bike, then you know it's a good bike"

[@Jason-hk4uq]

LOLLL exactly

[@HalfdeadRider]

That's why I was confused watching this lol

[@TheMmiguel002]

He is not a fan looks like i should get it especially since i love that look and color. sex 3 sex cheah!

[@FadilKarim]

"This bike doesn't feel that fast." Drove it through traffic at 30mph...

[@dt8607]

Fadil Karim hahaha my thought exactly.

[@thereferee5547]

Lol this bike is by far the fastest 600cc sport bike at the moment ahaha, so much that it's not even that far behind the last generation R1, but then again the last generation R1 was quite a lot slower than the other 1000's at that time

[@thereferee5547]

Riccardo Merlini, If you're going to reply to a English written comment, especially when you're disagreeing with it, reply in English or don't reply at all because you're the only person that is going to understand it.

[@thereferee5547]

Riccardo Merlini, The ZX6R is by far the fastest 600 of this generation, the last gen R1 (2014 and before) is by far the slowest 1000 sport(super) bike, the R1 was so slow and the ZX6R is so fast to the point where in a drag race there isn't much difference at all, the R1 will win but not by far. I have no idea how Kawasaki have managed to achieve this but the technology in the ZX6R is incredible to achieve the performance it has. Also I guarantee around a track the ZX6R will win.

[@thereferee5547]

And if you disagree look at the over amazing things Kawasaki has achieved. The H2R is 998cc and look at the performance of that!

[@Henke12]

"A chill little buddy" Lol this bike is faster then your R6 for sure

[@Koreakorea77777]

Henrik Larsson right what an idiot lmfao💀

[@WakeTheIsraelites]

it seems if chase isn't riding an R6 it's not a good bike overall

[@Plague_Doc22]

+Klean Kut Konversions Well hes comparing it to his favorite bike, as most people do with vehicles. So the R6 is his peak and then goes down from there.

[@backburner2128]

he was in love with the zx10. i think it was a 14'. not one thing neg. about it...............................

[@talravid8518]

chase loves everything about the fz/mt 09 also 07 tbh from what ive watched

[@ThecasualZombie]

it was a '15

[@goten259]

Klean Kut Konversions I'm starting to feel like he might be a bit of a Yamaha fan boy really..Could be wrong; maybe he just likes the way Yamaha does things. Also, just a side note, the zx6r is faster than the r6 according to 0to60times and the videos I've watched...

[@Dezagon]

The 636 doesn't look like the 300, the 300 was designed to look like the 636. It's the reason why the 300s look so sporty for a quarter liter class bike. Also how can you say it doesn't feel powerful when you haven't pushed it even slightly? And changing KRTC modes will not be noticeable until you loose traction

[@gazsermark]

As for the power modes F and L, F is Full, L is low, and if you put it in L the bike is limited to 80% of the power but ONLY ABOVE 8K rpm. That's pretty much why you didn't feel a thing. KTRC is the traction control, 3 is the most restrictive and you can also turn it off completely. I'm really glad I got this bike after the 300, mostly because I'm not a professional rider whatsoever so the smooth power band does help me get used to the power. Then again, if you want something wilder, get a full system plus a Dyno tune, I'm pretty sure the dyno guys can give it a little more aggressive mapping :) The looks are a personal thing, I for one love how it looks, it's nothing wild but it's beautiful imo :) Thanks for the review Chase!

[@Nick212NYC]

I had a 2011 250R and will probably get a 636, Chase thanks for the heads up, and Mark thanks for the help. ✌️

[@gazsermark]

No problem Nick, good luck with the 636! :)

[@puro1231]

Gázser Márk dude i thought he was at full mode from the start, and he switched to L mode at 10:00 .....and he said, it did not feel like 600cc bike or something like that...or mybe he did not feel it, because he only rode at low rpm.. if i wrong, please correct me okay :D

[@gazsermark]

puro1231 Yep, you are right, he didn't feel anything because he didn't go over 8-9k rpm, and the significance of the L and F modes lays in the top half of the rev range :)

[@Nick212NYC]

I got an R6....unreal. Thought you guys should know.

[@jeremye2928]

That 636 will smoke your r6 chief

[@scottanderson4175]

lol that’s funny 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@shawnlack1527]

That’s very funny,considering that doesn’t happen, but your more then willing to call me out😁

[@shawnlack1527]

Haven’t had it happen before, don’t think it ever will lol

[@parchy6464]

Wow what a crap rider

[@bryanmiller5074]

I'll call an R6 out any day... Lol

[@marcelocamacho6641]

congratulations on your awesome 60mile test...maybe u should review scooters too...

[@KingThabiso]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅🤦🏽‍♂️

[@DAVECTC28]

Ok so I owned the 2013 636 for 4 years. Ive ridden over 40, 000km on it now, taken to the track on multiple occasions and ridden on a thousand sunday rides with litre bikes - this bike has been brilliant. The review is a joke. Im finally upgrading to a ZX10R but cannot praise this bike enough. Im not actually even going to sell it. This will now be my track only bike. Quick run down Blows all other 600s out the water(ive ridden them all) Destroys all in corners Great as a every day rider Beautiful engine and if you replace with a full system exhaust its such a pleasure to ride. Simple and effective traction control (saved me on multilple occasions) Best bike I have ever owned

[@rayth4386]

I was thinking of getting one as my first bike, what do u think? I heard it was probably the best everyday 600cc super sport. I havent done too much research tho so i could be wrong lol

[@DAVECTC28]

@@rayth4386 do it - you won't regret it

[@kd1544]

Hey buddy, does it come with steering stabilizer from the factory?

[@Mitch94i]

I’m stuck between one of these and a GSXR 600.. have you ridden both? Which would you say stood out more in terms of performance and comfort ability

[@brendan636]

feels like a 300... I just sold my 300 and I am picking up my 636 in the next few days... it felt nothing like 300 in the seat.

[@brendan636]

+Mahboob Islam I love it, I would say I am taller than the average rider and it is very comfortable though when I am riding the seat does feel very big, you have lots of room to move your body Into a very aggressive position. Really the only way to know if it is the right choice is to go and test ride it.. Wouldn't really trust what anyone says online, but saying that it is the only 600 with abs and traction control... everyone also says it has a much better mid range power band... So really I don't think there is another choice , and would say if your not happy with a 636 get a 1000.. It may have even been chase that said the low power setting on a zx10 feels like a 636

[@brendan636]

+Yassin Bennis if you are a confident dirt bike rider then I'm you should be perfectly fine, just a confidence thing, start slow on the 636 and when you get moving you won't have an issue Just be easy on the throttle when you take off to not lift the front wheel in first The 636 is super safe with ktracs and abs... You also have low power mode but I ride this thing in full power all the time and in wet wether you can open up the throttle full in first gear and the wheel does not spin unless you turn ktrac off

[@lucasmuratkorkut9345]

+Yassin Bennis my bro, its a perfect bike for your first.. This guy dont know nothing.. Hes saying it feels like a 300? Either he lost his feelings or just lost in general .. Go for it im buying this for my first

[@fallenosprey3557]

Lucas Murat Korkut So have you already got it as a first bike? Because I'm thinking about getting it.

[@demigod217]

slower than all the other bikes? your crazy bro fastest 600 right now. hell i'm dead even with older r1s!

[@NikTw3ntyone]

jeez.. I thought this was a supersport bike review, not a "im going fiddy five in a fiddy" review.

[@chaseontwowheels]

NikTw3ntyone If you know a track I can take it to I would love to open it up.

[@NikTw3ntyone]

Well idk where you live, so I can't help you there. I'm just saying that no one watches a ZX6R or Hayabusa review just to see you doing the speed limit. And then talk about how other bikes "feel faster"...

[@1337blackmage]

NikTw3ntyone Damn skippy!

[@Watalum]

NikTw3ntyone If you have to choose between bikes his vids would help to compare. I think...lol

[@puDDykaa]

Agreed.. But also its not his bike, someone is going to buy that one, u know what I mean? Prob just respecting the owners of the dealer and future owner of the bike.

[@Moto6Sanity]

As much as I love the 2007-2016 Yamaha R6 , I will always love the Ninja 636 way more. Brute power and friendly at the same time for the streets.

[@DOHCtor]

3:12 Turns at 10mph "oh it corners well". lol just fucken with ya.

[@brandonharlow7067]

Wow.....someone's not biased towards the R6 at all huh?

[@yourfastlife]

That is a bigger 300? Are you serious? You think a race bike is nothing more than a larger standard bike? So you don't feel any of that race suspension, brakes and ergonomics?

[@allchevyhd]

1 word "POSER". XD Coming from this guy that doesn't even know how to put back his own engine bolts....lmao. this guy has no business making this type of review. Moslty about the appearance is what's more important to him. Typical yami fanboy.

[@jasrajsekhon6298]

I agree it wasn't very informative, but he can make whatever videos he wants. If you don't like it don't hate just make a better one and post it

[@TheDemitirus]

I'm sorry but you can't talk about power and compare it unless your actually going to rip it through a few gears.

[@thirdeyenotblind007]

EXACTLY. I DONT THINK HE WENT OVER 7000 RPM IN ANY GEAR.

[@mattackerman9657]

I really like your videos Chase but I was shocked when I saw this one. I went from a Ninja 300 to the ZX6R and they are completely different animals. The ZX feels about 10 times faster and about 5 times more stable. The 300 is great and looks cool but it is not a true sports bike riding position and performance wise. The ZX6R simply put is amazing and worthy of the price. Also the riding position is quite different. As you compare this to a 'big 300' it concerns me people may think this is a starter bike.. please don't. If you sneeze on this bike while on the freeway you will be accidentally doing triple digits.

[@willydmankal]

this needs to be revisited

[@speacialperson12345]

I'm leaving my r6 for a 636!

[@jpgNAVY]

Smart man. This "review" was horrible. He didn't tear into it at all. He hit what 35 mph in third gear? Shit by the time I shift into second I'm at 50-55. This bike flies.

[@J_CART3R]

yup, if you riding your bike at street, ninja zx-6 is the best one.

[@Mike_Martian]

The Honda CBR600RR seems to be the only bike left to test in the Japanese 600 class, and that's the bike I ride lol #C2WFR

[@universalgaminguk1818]

its the cbr650r is the newest one

[@fredandbob11]

***** That's not a supersport, and its a CBR650F not R.

[@universalgaminguk1818]

fredandbob11 i didnt say the cb650r was a super sport or that chase is only riding super sports? its a sport tourer like the zzr1400 he rode

[@fredandbob11]

***** But you replied to Seth Martin on his comment about the CBR600RR being the only Japanese 600 Chase hasn't ridden saying that the CBR650F is the newest, implying that the 650 replaces the 600.

[@universalgaminguk1818]

fredandbob11 it does

[@jesusestrada4669]

I owned a 06 zx6r "636" believe me they're fast as fuck.This guy was scared to open the throttle.I remember street racing a yellow 04 mustang cobra, it was the first time I reached 165mph and that's because I let off "smoked him"obviously but it had more in it I could tell.Just an f.y.I. for anyone thinking about buying one YES buy one you won't regret it.

[@ReaLzEdits]

+Jesus Estrada Have to wait 12 freaking months til I can get myn :( But when I do....... Awwww yeaaaaaah :)

[@jesusestrada4669]

+ReaLzEdits I hear yuh I hear yuh.

[@robert2935]

ya this guy sucks at the review. I bought a 2015 ZX6R 636 and my first bike was a ninja 300 the difference is night and day in power. this guy is terrible at reviews. this bike has so much more power than what he was doing, he didn't even get on the throttle.

[@SuperTurbineTech]

+Jesus Estrada I don't know where this guy is getting off at... I own the '14 636 stock with only a slip on... You can get into trouble very very quickly on this motorcycle. The only thing I can think of is that he's in rain mode and doesn't know how to work the electronics. These bikes can be and are scary...

[@raja777m]

+ReaLzEdits hey, good luck with your purchase, but, may I know why 8 more months? is this going to be your first bike?

[@JohnDough1776]

"This is slow" as he rides at 45mph

[@HelloImBlaineB]

Chase so far you have have tested some of the bikes I am looking at and I appreciate it a ton. All except for a key one... #C2WFR Triumph Daytona 675R

[@rsv4rider920]

Yeah trying to get him to test ride my 2012 675R

[@myriad860]

Not a very good review of this bike... I don't own it, but have rider all 600cc sport bikes. This one was in the top 2 for me, next to the CBR600.. There is a lot of detail and actual technical knowledge the review lacks! I feel that chase has to read up on this bike a bit more and exploit more of what it has to offer!

[@Plague_Doc22]

+Kaha K Dont like the way your comment started where you said basicly his opinion wasnt good but then follows it up by saying your is. BUT you recovered very nicely after that.

[@myriad860]

Meh...

[@TecByte5]

What a tease! So close to the 2015/2014 Kawasaki 650 abs. Comment so Chase sees!

[@TecByte5]

#C2WFR

[@BATHKEBR]

The Kawasaki Ninja 650 2012-now needs to be a #C2WFR. It is so much better than the 636 for on the street and highway. The 636 is more meant to be track/race/stunt bike hence the flickablity and turning.

[@birdthaword7507]

Most people use the 636 as stunt bikes! I see people stunting on 636's all the time!

[@fluff9553]

pENIS!!

[@voidstatus775]

I have a 2014 650ABS, love it, not stupid fast like a liter bike, but has enough power to get going, easy to handle, great bike for me!

[@WRAP_itude]

This guy knows shit about riding

[@spinwater66]

I feel if your going to do reviews you should learn to be a little more objective about the bikes your reviewing. Also- Quoteing the 'bike feels like a 300'? I beg to differ. I am sure Kawasaki's engineers do too.

[@SaturdayWinter]

No offense but you didn't really ride it xD

[@Ben-nt7np]

You should ride suburban delinquent's triumph speed triple 1050! #C2WFR

[@ricgreen9161]

Honda grom from would be funny

[@TehOcst]

Agreed. Grom please!

[@Fastliner8]

There is a grom video. Altough it is unlisted i think

[@Fastliner8]

Watch the first ride of the kawasaki concourse. Its displayed as the last video at the end. Enjoy its funny

[@WhoIsThisGodPersonAnyway]

I rode my '03 636 nine hours and 600 miles in one day. Definitely a good seat! I felt better and more rested after that than any 600 mile car ride

[@jpgNAVY]

Oh, ChaseOnTwoWheels, I also wanted to tell you about the tank. The 636 is set up to be pretty much stunt ready from the show floor. The tank being shaped like it it provides people with the place to stand or sit and stunt instead of having to dent in the gas tanks of their brand new bikes

[@AV8R307]

I think what you're talking about is the concept of the riding position. With the R6, especially pre 09, you sit on top of the bike. The idea being that it gives you a higher center of gravity, allowing the bike to toss from side to side better. The Suzuki and Kawasaki the rider sits as more of a part of the bike, which gives you a greater sense of being a part of the bike for lack of a better description. It gives you more confidence and makes things smoother and easier. To me, it feels like you are one with the bike rather than having making the bike work for you... if that makes sense.

[@puDDykaa]

I just bought this bike yesterday, upgraded from the 300. It is very tame but the low end power is so unique. 6 gear @ 3500 revs and a little pull of the throttle and it gooooes. but it isn't comfy to say the least lol. I sat on an R6 and a CBR600rr and those were perfect for comfort. The GSXR was nice too. but for looks and power, I think the ninja 636 is still a competitor despite its similarities to the 300.

[@phward74]

bought one last year in July (2016 KRT Edition with ABS) ...best 600 Bike ever...i love it!!!! Had a CBR 600 before.

[@withcranes]

I thought this bike would be too small because I am 7' 8", but after I got used to it I love the riding position.

[@Jakalwarrior]

ZX6R owner here. The slow feel is the gearing. Its the bikes biggest weakness. The gearing is really tall and close together. Great for the track, not so great for the road. You can lower the gearing and then its a beast but then 6th is short meaning its wound up on the highway. Biggest thing Kawasaki could do to make it more fun on the street is a wider gear spread with lower low gears and the same 6th.

[@Villani_AV]

I know I'm late to the game but man these kawasaki sport bikes are REALLY tuned to be used on the street apparently, yet they're also really tunable and have potential for the crazy riders. I've been shying away from sportier bikes because of the sheer performance aspect (I'm not a great rider and I live in a congested area) but I'm now in the market for a ninja

[@Pyr0FoX77]

Thank you Chase, I appreciate your comments on the bike! I know I probably wasn't the only one to ask you to ride a ZX-6R but I felt like the video was directed in my direction because I had asked. So again thank you so much!

[@r.ocelot7378]

I have this bike and an R6, and this bike is better at corners, it's more nimble, and it's engine and clutch are smoother, and the riding position is more comfortable to me. The R6's riding position is so sporty that it gives me back aches.

[@michaelbadolato1888]

I have a 05 636 and I like it better than the new ones because I tried it. A lot of things you did point out correctly but dude u need to hit higher rpms for u to really test it..it has more midrange power..like your vids tho so keep posting and ride safe.

[@NicheRiding]

So nice! I still have my lowbie Ninja but in the next 6 months to a year when my 370z is paid off, I plan to pick one of these up. I may be a bit biased since green is my favorite color:) I of course will check all the bikes out there before I jump up to a 600 but for now, my heart is set on a zx6r!

[@mehdi-pz9iq]

i would love to see a 2021 model review by chase he would definitely change his mind about the zx6r

[@hellraiserrec19]

It is hard to beat the new 636 for the price especially since it comes stock with a quick shifter. You definitely get a lot for your money

[@arch417powersports]

I test rode the ZX6R in 2013. It was super smooth and powerful. Not a fan of the R6 powerband so a ZX6R might be a good alternative.

[@QAnyui]

Remember, this ZX6R built for street. Hence they put extra 37cc over the 599cc with a bit high clip on. But still this bike did better than other 600cc supersport in performance. I really want you to revisit this bike with a latest year model. I know there is something you didn't discover on this bike. I can ignore your opinion about the exhaust sound and mirror because that stuff can be replace.

[@TheAmMobile]

Current rider of a 636 and first time rider. You're right man it's a good bike you can start learning on but those mirrors do NO justice to the rider. Plan on a MOD to switch those out. Great video!

[@druxfilms]

In the class @ Chattahoochee marietta campus, a fellow student bought this bike, and got cut-off by an old chevy pickup, last I heard he went over the back on the truckbed, and is recovering quickly bike is totaled for sure. Wish him luck on that, anyhow he had his bike all but 3 weeks , hit 49 miles before he crashed.(Not his first bike though)

[@arch417powersports]

I just rode this bike and I will say its the best 600cc out there right now. The new R6 doesn't even compare on the street.

[@chibinyra]

I dream of a Baby Ninja 363 with 4 cyl. I love my Ninja 650, but I want the 636 quality without seeing the "I'm getting you arrested today" look in the headlights.

[@prndownload]

Get a triple bro. You get max torque at like 3.5k rpm and it has short gearing. You can have a lot of fun on it without having to spool it up to race track speeds.

[@chibinyra]

My idea of a race track in a go kart track! I did 20 minutes on Portland International Raceway on my 650 and that was enough for me. But again, give me a old CBR250rr and I am golden. Wish the new 250rr was a 4 cyl, but it isn't even coming to a dealer near me anyway.

[@grozmo1]

I started on a 300 which I quite like, and after doing some research the 636 will be my next as soon as my license allows it

[@torterrathegreat055]

You sounded like BukLau from ownage pranks in the start. 😅😅

[@GoodAtHeart]

I think chase must be short because I rode a 2013 zx64r yesterday and it SUPER comfortable as well as fast.

[@StainedJ]

I read some comments and saw so many people saying his reviews are terrible.... then I watched more of the video

[@PCDominatorX]

***** the reason the tank is flat and the odd geometry in general is because it's geared towards the stunter market. Flat tank is so you can sit on it for highchairs etc.

[@gabebarker5109]

I was driving through Atlanta and when I passed Mountain Motorsports I started freaking out.

[@darios9797]

call me crazy but i got to see this bike and the zx-10r up close (the newer ones) and the similarities to the smaller ninjas don't end there, to be honest they look very low quality, they feel like they have the same quality controls from the ninja 250 and 300 bikes, and the plastic looks cheaper than usual, the r6 for example looks MUCH tighter and better built.

[@POWDERNPELLTS]

plan on picking this bike up here soon it feels great to me and im 6'and a larger guy never really liked harleys

[@dodgethehell]

that intro is hilarious. I thought I was getting my nails done

[@Doublej1155]

When I sat on this bike one of the things I did realize was it definitely had a bad seat I do have to agree with you on that

[@rsv4rider920]

Great review chase. Ive test ridden both the 2013 636 and the 600rr both are pretty similar with a big mid range and linear power curve. They also have a lower seat height and raised clip ons to make them more comfortable on the streets

[@billybobjoe2011]

Great video man! Always love the reviews. Next time, can u try to do the new r1 or the kawasaki H2?

[@birdthaword7507]

stick with the kawasaki i'd rather see that After I did the first ride and review of the Yamaha "everything" I don't think yamaha will ever top that bike!

[@billybobjoe2011]

Tbh...ya...if you could do the kawasaki H2, that would be INSANE!

[@birdthaword7507]

Abs13 I was just watching videos on the H2r yesterday. He went around the track and was power wheelie'ing at a quarter throttle!

[@kenaustin28]

He doesn't talk about the power modes but he talks about the power delivery.

[@QAnyui]

It deserve revisit... I know this bike is a great bike. Maybe you havent learn the bike a lot. But i will wait for the new 2017 or 2018 zx6r.

[@taylorlivingston3502]

Surprised with this review. The 2013-2014 ZX6R win the reviews for best 600 super sports. From owning a 2008 CBR 600RR to a 2002 Yamaha R6 this bike is by far the greatest I have ever owned/ridden

[@jasonbruno7811]

You weren't surprised at the pull and speed of the bike? You didn't even mention it; does that mean a beginning can start on this bike if they take it easy. You did say there is a learning curve

[@ninjakat8922]

Are you sure you didn't have it in low power mode? The KTRC is the throttle response, Level 1 being the most agressive (it still limits some minor things though) and level 3 being the most docile. Then there are 2 power delivery modes, low which gives you 80% of the power above 7000rpm and full that the bike gives it all it's got. Everyone else say that the power is there and the bike is very fast, so there is a chance you had it on low thus not getting the full blast of power until very high RPMs

[@roxyvides5103]

The 636 Is SOO Beautiful

[@Tev928]

I havent even watched this video and it was already made my day! THANK YOU CHASE!

I plan on buying a 2013 636 at the end of the summer! :D

[@petehamm7762]

If you put a yamaha r6 logo on the bike chase would say it's an awesome bike

[@ReaKtionary]

At first I was all... "huh? I already watched a brand new upload?" Then, "oh... cool!" Good on you.

[@Beef-Wellington]

your reasons for not liking the bike are a bit silly but i agree on some of it and was never really a kawi fan anyway, thanks for these vids though. Theyre interesting most of the time:p

[@skyline44512]

The hand/wrist rubbing on the tank was a major problem on the old ZX10R during low speed tight turns. I'm not sure if it's still an issue on the new one.

[@CptSlow89]

2005/06 636 my favourite

[@SpencerHogg]

Ahh, I'll always be a Ninja' fan.... Such a nice bike.

[@spiro5327]

"I FEEL LIKE I'M ON A NINJA 300" That pretty much says it all.

[@PistonSlap]

akropovic exhaust I believe these people were claiming a additional 10-15hp difference with their full exhaust. Not sure if it was with or with out a tune. The low power mode only has a change above the 10K mark. Other than that great review. I own this same bike (w/o abs) and love it. Also wanted to say it seems to fall off on power around the 13.5K RPM mark. Possibly the exhaust being restricted or stock tune pulling the power back?

[@tedweiss5702]

I get what he's saying about it feels more tame. I had an 08 cbr600rr and went to my 2013 636. The 636 has 6 more hp than my old CBR but for some reason doesn't feel as fast

[@SalamiCheeks]

This might not be the best bike on the ride but imo it’s the best looking

[@srvmotoman]

This is the bike that I lust after. I absolutely enjoyed how honest you are with the review of the bike. #C2WFR 2008+ CBR 600rr and 2013+ Ninja 650

[@bodymanruss518]

Dude,...that 636 (Kawis in general) are way choked down from the factory) Put a pipe and a ECU remap,..and that beast will COME ALIVE!!!! for REAL!!! Sexy Bike for sure!,.......LOVE Kawis ! I own the Widowmaker,...2005 ZX10R.

[@ut90J]

I am loving the intro where you have the background music and the closeup shots. It's very professional. Well done!

[@pappi3]

Kawasaki and Suzuki makes the best sounding motorcycles. I really love that vrooom vroom vrooooooooooooom!!.....

[@edgarpoe1003]

Is your "buddy" walteriffic? He loves his ZX6R

[@WeaponryFitness22]

lol this is funny. And honest, I like the critiques, good review that may help someone choose the right bike for them.

[@steeezyjoey]

My Dream Bike. Hopefully one day.

[@usamoab1095]

Chase dude!!! Spyder F3 test ride .oh yeah you no you want to test ride that beast.you dah man fo dah job bro!

[@cabiker91]

The powerband kicks in around 10,000 rpm+. So you can't say it's slow when you haven't hit that point at all in the test ride. I believe the 636 has more HP than the R6 by a small margin. Just saying. ;) I respect your opinions highly, but this just wasn't a fair review; the aesthetics, sure. But this engine is much better than you give credit for. Take it to the freeway and get into the powerband. Would love to see another review of this bike in full power mode and higher in the rev range. It redlines at 16K. Give it some gas.

[@podjo2k9]

cabiker91 took the words out of my mouth and he doesn't go past 6000rpm

[@bdubwiley]

i dont mind the newer 636's, they look aight, but the bike seems restricted for some reason. definitely prefer my 05 636, so much low end grunt with it

[@CurryRiderSP]

Love the 636 :D one awesome mid weight bike

[@FarmleagueSportscards]

KZ seemed to be going backwards with this one,correct when said the big brother to the 300 where I kinda expected it to stand out,tiny bad dash,ugly flat tank,mirros are well I don't exactly.the oldschool 636 was sure standout from the 600. ZX6 over this for sure guys.

[@L05tNmu]

Can you please do another review of the ZX-6R and take it on the highway? Thanks in advance!

[@boriskargin163]

You should try driving it, not just sitting on it. I dont think you ever hit 8000 rpm. And the tank indent is for your helmet on track so you can lean in more.

[@MonstaFreak13]

i love my wifes ninja 300 so your review basically just told me that this bike is exactly what im looking for in a sport cus the only thing i dont like from her bike is that i have no passing power. but with ninja's you should know that they looooove high revs. they come alive at like 8500rpm.. and sidenote you should have never had that bike in 2nd gear if you were only going 35mph lol. thats still 1st gear territory in a straightaway... only drawback i could posibly foresee is some garabage fuel economy due to the i4, but lets face it, nobody is buying a 636 to save gas

[@HeroDanny]

I own a ninja 300 and that's the first thing I thought first too "Man this is a small dash". I agree, I don't like it. Although you do get used to it.

[@TheNatos]

picking up a new "leftover" 2016 zx6r today WOOWOO!!!

[@TheNatos]

3 weeks later, i love the bike. I will agree with chase on one thing tho.... the mirrors ARE ass.

[@twowheeledwaffle7847]

Beaut of a bike. I got a 2011 recently, and man oh maaaan. Happyface.

[@Herower]

This is might be the wierdest request, but could you please do a review on a Yamaha Tmax scooter? And the Vmax please? These monsters are great and I wish I could see your comment on them.

[@acuevas87]

Sick vid as always! Hey chase, was wondering what settings do you use on your gopro4?
