2024 Kawasaki ZX6R first week thoughts and Ride Vlog!

[@TylerG7777]

56 yrs old and just picked up my 2024 ZX-6R Anniversary edition 2 weeks ago. Loving it! Great video.

[@xxC-R9]

ISIT GOOD ????? Im buying one in 2-3months. how does it sound stock?

[@TylerG7777]

@@xxC-R9 I literally just got back from a ride on the bike. Is it good? Its fantastic! When you throw a leg over the bike , roll back on the throtltle and head out, it's like s*x on 2 wheels. The bike is simply amazing. As for the stock sound, too quiet. I've already ordered the Graves slip-on exhaust in Elektrik blue, which on this Anniversary Edition will look amazing. It's deeper and louder, but not crazy loud...which I am not into. When I'm on long rides, I want to hear my music, not the drone of the engine for hours. It arrives in just a few days and I can't wait to put it on the bike. Already installed a TST integrated fender eliminator. Absolutely no regrets about this bike.

[@xxC-R9]

@TylerG7777 Nice!! Enjoy dude! Soon as I get all set up I'll be having some content up.

[@RH94]

@@TylerG7777 I just picked up an anniversary edition too. Trying to decide my accent colors for my accessories. I had been thinking red (on point crash cage and impaktech subcage) but if that slip on is as cool as I think it is I might have to change my mind. Are you able to post a pic/short video of your bike with the integrated tail light and the slip on?

[@TylerG7777]

@@RH94 The Graves Slip-on exhaust in Elektrik Blue looks amazing on the bike. Really, it looks like it was made for the 40th anniversary color scheme. The navy blue on the lower cowling just flows right into the Graves blue slip-on. Plus, the color looks great overlying the aluminum colored swing arm. The swing arm is not black like on other bikes. Unfortunately, I don’t have any pics to show you. As I noted up above, it was just too loud for me. I don’t like really loud bikes and I’m more interested in hearing my music. I don’t like rolling through town with people eating outside, and knowing that I’m making a big racket. It killed me, but I returned it and instead bought the Akropovic slipon. The black carbon fiber looks nice, way better than that ugly stock muffler from Kawasaki, but it can’t compare to how awesome the Graves muffler looked on the bike. For knee grips, I got 2 slender, clear, grips from Stomp Grips. They work great and are as low profile as you can get. They run along the green section of the cowling, just below the tank. But I’m still at a loss for the upper tank protector. Definitely need one so I don’t scratch the top of the tank, but I don’t know what will not take away from the great color scheme. That great navy blue that tapers down towards the rider’s seat. Let me know what you picked. It’s an awesome bike! Head turner for sure. Good luck!

[@official_zane6302]

Personally, i think the new zx6r design is awesome. At first I was like "eh?" because I saw it in a picture from a not so nice angle. But after I watched a videos and all that, i like it.

[@812moto]

As soon as I saw it I said I have to see it in person. I saw this one and immediately knew I had to take it home

[@tjbarke6086]

I find that so often, cars and bikes are not done justice on camera/video.

[@GreedyJofficiall]

I hate the 2023 and older models front end. Especially the huge headlights. The 2024 front end is amazing and looks better than the previous model zx6rs. Congratulations bro, ride safe 🫡🔥

[@812moto]

Thank you! I appreciate that the zx6 now has the super sport identity

[@MaxSteelfireblade]

Congratulations for the bike. I had a street triple rs, do you think I should go for the zx6 r or the zx 10 r

[@GreedyJofficiall]

@@MaxSteelfireblade if you want to go race liter bikes more often than not go with the zx10. But if you dont really go out to race and go full throttle and hit around 180+ then the zx6r is more than plenty enough of a bike to rip it and enjoy every second of it. A fully tuned zx6r is way more fun actually to cut up on the highway with friends, you will never get bored of it. Even stock is so much fun and adrenaline packed.

[@ObsidianZx6R]

Came from a ninja 650. I love my zx6r. So much more power and i love the front end.

[@DaPredz]

That is gonna be my bike next year. Love the new look and the fact that they took some styling cues from my dream bike, her big sister, zx10rr.

[@Imagine_thaaaat]

Ditto!

[@LSB44446]

13-18 and this are my fav ZX6R faces! Everything else has looked the same since 2013. Beautiful

[@812moto]

I also love the 13-18 it’s second best to the new ones I believe. I’m biased though!

[@Kawi-RR]

I love the new zx6r, especially the black one. Definitely plan on getting one

[@812moto]

The black is the best imo

[@Sunedosa]

Traded in my 2022 ZX10R for one of these, the ZX6 haven't been available here for a few years but is back on sale for 2024. The 10 is just way more than i need, great bike but with 80+ hp more than the ZX6 it's borderline insane. The 2024 ZX6 looks great, new front end with led headlights and the TFT closed it for me. Dealership will deliver it after new years since it currently 14 F and snowy here, season starts early to mid april.

[@rawdogramos3975]

I own a 2021 zx10r in black but man I love the body and curves on this new 6r. I’m with you I love the front end as well! Great content and video!

[@Niobium23]

Stunning motorcycle! I love the front end! Looks so mean!!!! The new dash is sic!

[@JaygerTroop]

day one of riding the bike I put about 50 miles on it. It's my first sport bike and man i love the thing my body however is still getting used to it mainly my wrists and partially my hips. 10/10

[@Zx6rBlue]

Just placed a deposit on a anniversary edition with the performance pack today, so excited to get my bike in a few weeks ❤

[@cajnauto]

Looks better than the previous version. Love they finally put a digital gauge

[@goatstix7750]

Got mine ordered here in Australia. I’m coming from a 400 and never rode a 600 before. If it’s really necessary for me I’ll ecu flash it. I got a full exhaust and power commander coming with the bike.

[@DsynkRides]

So I've been riding the 2023 ninja 400 se for about 4k miles. It's my first bike. Ive gotten very comfortable on it but im Still learning how to clutch wheelie and stuff in first gear but I am thinking about getting the zx6r was wondering how it handles co pared to the 400. The 400 is so nimble and agile I love it and don't want to upgrade if it's way different on the zx6r. I've ridden a few other bikes like an r 1 and z900 and didn't like the handling. The power doesn't bother me it's the feel of the front end that trips me out.

[@812moto]

Zx6r is much different riding experience. Much more aggressive seating, heavier handling, much more power. Master your 400 before moving up. It’s a totally different world for me on this bike

[@motorcycle-man]

I assume the tank grips for the last gen will fit too right? I dont think the tank has been altered? Good call at 3:30

[@812moto]

Not sure but I think you’re right. I’ve seen people with tank pads on these. Could always cut some universal ones out too

If you compared the downlow off the line getgo performance, how doe the zx6r compare to the z650. From how I understand it the zx6 doesn't have that much punch down low. Is this true?

[@812moto]

There is more off idle pickup from the z650 for sure but once you hit 6-8k on the zx6 you have plenty of power over the z650

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@812moto For context, I prior to this have never ridden a 4pot before. And was wondering if a 4pot really is dead down low. I'm really not interested in going fast, and honestly also mainly ride in the cities and backroads. Was abit unsure if 4pots really had no go down low, which as we all know is not what you want for my kind of riding. But I tested the cb650r yesterday which makes 95hp ish. Compared to my cb500f, the 650 was abit juicier but was about the same as my cb500f down low. And logically pulled alot harder once the revs were there. I think I've got my next bike, just need to save up some cash :-)))) Also gonna assume that a 600 pulls abit more than the 650 (down low, because that's really only what I care about)

[@812moto]

@@Daniel-dj7fh to be honest I feel like it has pretty good mid range power. If you’re riding back roads you’ll be hunting gears and trying to keep it in the power.
