2024 BEST 600 Screamer!! | Honda CBR600RR vs Kawasaki ZX6R

That's a lovely generation of Ninja6s. I rocked a 2005 ZZR600 in the USA which is basically your bike with the 599cc power plant. She was a quick, sporty all-rounder being larger and more comfortable than the competition (though still light weight).

[@TheOriginalJadolph]

Seems like they’re pushing off old the “old stock” of the last generation bikes onto the NA market because of less regulation and a wealthier market rather than try to rebuild all the ones they already made to the new spec. Hopefully we’ll get the updated bike for the 2026 model year

I saw a german review. My german is not great but they did a track test. The Honda was 3/10 of a second faster but is asks a lot more of the rider (being in the correct gear) while the 636 because of the better midrange is easier to ride on track for most riders. The also said the Kawa suspension was a bit underdamped for track and that the Honda was a lot more precise on track.

[@matttaafe8039]

You can tweak that out on suspension easy, also faster track zx6r clears off. Cbr downgeared to accelerate but far slower over 100mph.

[@pricklypunter]

I kind of knew ahead of time that the Kwak would win by a nose. I don't see the lack of a blipper holding it back either, in fact I think it makes for a much more engaging riding experience. I would go as far as saying you could do without the upshifter on it as well, for the exact same reason. The Honda is a stunning bike too, definitely showing its racing pedigree here and it sounds sublime when it gets on the power. It would be the Kwak for me all day long, though my poor back would only let me enjoy it an hour at a time 👍

[@jaffabaffa]

I recently test rode a ZX-4RR and the new ZX-6R back to back. The ZX-4RR does have a blipper, so, naturally, I thought the ZX-6R would surely have a blipper as well... I took me all the way till the end of ride before I realized it hadn't... All the while, I was thinking: "man... this blipper sucks!" Another reminder to never buy an ex demo bike😂

[@brianzhu7119]

@jaffabaffa which one did you like better?

[@jaffabaffa]

@@brianzhu7119 I feel like the ZX-4RR has great potential to be an amazing bike, but is ultimately super restricted in stock form. In my personal opinion, the gearing is way to long, and the exhaust is stupid quite. The power was rather underwhelming for me, even for a 400. However, the ergonomics were surprisingly comfortable. Especially compared to the ZX-6R. The ZX-6R has plenty of power to have fun with, but felt very cramped to me. And I am not even a big dude (179 cm or 5'9"). Also, the lack of a blipper on the ZX-6R makes if feel outdated compared to the ZX-4RR. If I would have to put my own money down, I would choose either a ZX-4RR and upgrade it, or buy the previous generation ZX-6R.

[@Larry_Mott]

@@jaffabaffa Where do you live? The EU model ZX4 is supposed to be unrestricted AFAIK . I ride a lot with two friends of mine, one has a MT09 SP and the other a Z900 RS. I don't really feel left behind when doing normal riding. Obviously i'd be lef for dead in a drag race, but again just going tempo moderato on small twisty roads the ZX4 doesn't leave me wanting.

[@jaffabaffa]

@@Larry_Mott The EU version of the ZX-4R(R) might be less restricted, but it's still subjected to the EU's emissions and sound regulations (euro 5+). I think that you're either a skilled rider, or that your friends are a bit slow (or not trying to be fast at least). I have not ridden an MT-09 before, but I have ridden a Z900 RS. I can't imagine a ZX-4R being able to keep up with a Z900 RS in any sort of race - both drag and twisties. A good way to gauge the degree to which a bike is restricted, is to compare the stock dyno numbers to one that as been fully "unlocked" with a full exhaust system and an ECU flash. A bone stock ZX-4R makes around 58.5 hp at the rear wheel. When properly unrestricted, it makes around 76 hp at the rear wheel.

[@Larry_Mott]

@@jaffabaffa 58,5 has to be a US model. Vcyclenut (his dyno seems to be somewhat conservative) claims 55,36 at the rear wheel.. After derestricting he got 68,53 which should correspond well to the EU version.

I was really surprised how good the stock fuel mapping was on the kawasaki too! I bought a 2023 model right before the 24s came out, and it's easily the best bike I've ridden in terms of stock fuel mapping. Coming from yamahas that are notorious for bad fuel mapping though, but still haha. I just picked up a 24 MT10 that also has really good stock mapping, but that kawi just has that slight edge in smoothness on/off the throttle (my 636 has been tuned though)

[@R4TH2277]

Really great video. I had a 636 7 years ago (2001 A1P) and not rode since that. Recently bought a cbr600rr 2005 and I must say it feels like a different level to the 636.

Great review, i commuted on a 06' VTR SP2 into London but gearing for traffic wasn't ideal if im honest with myself 😀 so i got a low mile 2002 CBR 600 F-Sport which i loved to bits but they bought in the congestion charge for pre 07' bikes ......so was fortunate to get one of the last of the last into the UK - CBR 600 RR'S in 2016 , still own it, love it to bits , was tempted by a new 2024 model but i love my Orange Repsol colours...as you say £10,500 , ( less that £500 more than my new bike n 2016), the Honda really is a great buy. i love mine i just cant bear to part with it for a new red or black one...

Great review gents. Two very good looking bikes. I would personally choose the Honda as it is the complete package with the electronics and under-seat exhaust.👌 I had a new GSXR 600 SRAD many years ago and absolutely loved it. These two bikes are the polished refined versions of what we had in the 00’s. They look like Superbikes and I think they have the perfect amount of power to learn your craft on. Nice and relaxed under 6k revs and loads of excitement beyond. Plenty fast enough for the road with handling to match. They both look amazing! 😍 I’ll stick with the Street Triple though because I’m old! 😂

[@petelovett1351]

Good b2b review guys! It really comes down to personal preference. I test rode both on the same day and actually found the Honda to be more refined. The Kawasaki is raw, which was great though. It was a tough decision, but the bi-directional shifter on the Honda, plus the dealer offered me a cracking deal against my RS660, swung it. Why didn’t Kawasaki put a shifter/blipper on it??? Moving away from 1000cc sports bikes (that I have always had) to a middleweight I find these are soooo much better on the road. Great fun! You can’t really lose whichever one you go for.

Been fortunate enough to have a go on the ZX6R for the last 48 hrs as a courtesy bike for my 765RS. Haven’t ridden the CBR600RR yet but really fell in love with the ZX6R. The 765RS is more comfortable though and has a bit more attitude than even the ZX6R, which surprised me, but they’re still great bikes and so involving, smooth and engaging to ride. They put a smile on your face and make you feel great, but goad you in to riding them like a sports bike 😂 Supersport 600’s might be dead, but long live the supersport 600’s. Interestingly, the ZX6R tuned is comparable with the same power as a tuned 765RS but the Kawasaki is a few kg heavier but at least has a 17 litre tank! Great review gents!

Hi ! Interesting point of view. I own a ST 660s A2 and once I get my A category Im thinking about either a 765 RS or one of these 2 supersports. What do you think could be the best ? I really want to have that supersport feeling, maybe a 765 moto 2, but its a naked so im really hesitant. Can't yet try any of them that's why I'm asking your opinion. Cheers mate

@@7Syber I have a 765RS cosmic yellow, tuned, 128bhp at the wheel and really liked the ZX6R!! I myself am wondering why I liked it so much… need to ride mine again as it’s very tempting to change but doesn’t make any sense to apart from the fairing and general Japanese sports bike involvement, inline 4 smoothness and feel. Always loved sports bikes I guess. The 765RS is better equipped, more comfy and has more midrange and attitude. I just have issues I think as I love my 765, but have fallen in love for possibly the wrong reasons 😂.

@@twistandgo3414That’s exactly my thought process, the 765 RS is overall a better bike if you don’t want or don’t enjoy supersports. The equipment on triumph is unmatched and the bike does well for track days and small road trips Having up and down shifter on my 660s I don’t know if I will miss it on the zx6r tho … Still really want to experience a real supersport after trying naked bikes

[@Scouse.Malinois]

I had a tuned zx6r....had MT10s etc since and I still swear that ninja was the fastest bike I've ever had😂 very usable power

[@twistandgo3414]

@@Scouse.Malinois yeah, just so smooth too! Really quite addictive and intoxicating!

[@stevietrucker4631]

2 fantastic bikes I'd be happy with either of them.

Kawasaki is killing it with the ZX 4 RR bringing excitement back to the sport bike market thank god.

[@PB10014]

Guys I’ve not seen the CBR in the flesh but on video the back end looks a bits dated - too long compared with new bikes. Is it so?

[@jaredmotopnw]

No fuel gauge is a deal breaker for me! And with my Z900rs cafe, I’d lean towards the Kawi!

[@BALJEETsingh-ur5cl]

Cbr for me as i already have a Kawasaki and looks wise i like the cbr and that under seat exhaust❤.

[@johnmckenzie6941]

Mr Bro had the 96 zx6r and that went about 155. 144mph is poor. But the kawa looks lovely.

Bit late to catch this KZbin but been following Honda and Kawasaki decision to bring back he 4 cly screamer supersports bikes. Great decision I have always loved 600 cc supersports. My biking pals didn’t agree. No substitute for “ cubes”. Need to be in the right gear for every corner, at least 9k rpm but boy what a top end. Could keep up with litre bikes on a run no problem. Rarely ever passed them but they couldn’t get away. The new ZX6 is much lower geared than the CBR6 which makes it faster in most situations that you don’t need top speed. The Honda looks like excellent build quality. Difficult decision I would go for the ZX6 for more midrange and I do prefer throttle cables but that’s just me.

[@thepongopete]

Conclusion: do you want the green one or the red one? 😂 Very tempted by both although the blipper would probably swing me toward the Honda. Great video!

[@xAnimeID]

Gutted they didn't give the 6R the blipper, when the 4R does.
