@FuzedBox2 жыл бұрын
ZX-6R. Biased not just because I own one... Well, all three of my street bikes have been Kawi... But also because I am team red for offroad and every dirt bike that I've own has been Honda. In both cases, the Yamaha fanboys were always smug assholes about their overpriced and relatively underpowered toys. Granted, I leaned how to ride on a Yamaha Warrior 350 quad as a kid, but my experience with Yamaha pricing plus fanboyism has turned me off. I will continue to ride Green on road and Red off. Edit: Actually, I will rephrase that. I will continue to shop first for those two brands in those respective categories, but have no real loyalty. It's really just the way it worked out. Hell, I might go Beta for my next dirt bike, or buy a used Daytona for my next street. I do know for a fact though, that I will actively avoid Yamaha. Yes, I hate Yamaha fanboys so much that I also hate the company by proxy.

I picked up my 2021 ZX-6R (pearl white) about a month ago. My only prior experience on the ZX-6R was from having ridden it at two demo days last year. I absolutely fell in love with the bike. So much power and so smooth. The demo rides only last about 15 minutes so the only concern I had was that the ergonomics of the bike would be uncomfortable on longer rides. I was relieved to discover that the ergos were not a problem for me at all. I traded in my 2018 Ninja 400 when I bought the ZX-6R. I loved my 400 but the seat on that bike doesn’t have much more padding that a wooden plank. The ZX-6R’s seat is much more comfortable.

When it came down to buying a bike, I was between the R6, ZX6R and the ZX10. I couldn't justify all that price of the ZX10 and really had no use for all that power, although the technology was great. I chose the '21 ZX6R based on price, ergonomics and displacement. Also, I feel like it has more useable mid range power. I think I made a good choice.
@PetroHead3 жыл бұрын
Most people are better off with the 6R.. it’s overall a better street bike. As for mid range power, the R6 can gain 10+ rwhp with a $200 tune and gain on the mid range power but again, not a good street bike.

But he's a better rider than me and been riding way longer than me. I test rode the R6 on the track and just as you mentioned, the R6 is more track oriented with lower clips-ons, and a more forward leaning ride. The R6 would be less fun to ride on the street. For the ergonomics alone, I would still choose the ZX6R. BTW love your orange and black paint scheme! That's freaking righteous!

Having at least 2k seat time on both, the 636 is a GREAT streetbike. But the R6 is such a better trackbike. Like. By a long shot. The R6 feels so much better on track than a zx6. That said, I think the zx6 has a very nice engine, I just hate the chassis, hate the ergos(which are way more street friendly), and the fit and finish just doesnt feel as good as the R6. That said: i love conventionally uncomfortable bikes. The new RRR felt natural to me, and I picked an sc77 sp2 over the 2020 bmw s1k-m and gladly nevrr looked back 🤷♂️ And the R6 sounds sex.

It's unfortunate that you never experienced a 2005 ZX-6R. Any new 600 is detuned to drop off at 11,000rpm.

One of these days.. but power loss issues are a thing of the past with a $200 tune.. keep watching my R6 build videos..

From my small experience with the r6 it “feels” fake and like it was all plastic. Really light, although decent height. Zx-6r doesn’t feel like that , it feels like it has weight to it and a comfy height p

You criticize the R6 for feeling light.. isn't that a good thing?

I think what he means is the weight of the ZX-6r makes gives u a premium feel… while the R6 feels light, unplanted …u stable

I got the 2022 zx6r mainly because of looks and speed and a bit more comfort the r6 is good looking and futuristic but to me its missing something

@@PetroHead no as its missing something in the looks it looks cool but plain at the same time while the zx6r looks great from all angles the one i couldn't find is the zx10r in black i looked in 12 dealers over a month untill i just gave up and bought the 2022 zx6r from what i heard the north are the last to pick so we get the shitty shit and some good shit but that went by fast

I bought the 2020 ZX6-R and I’ve rode the 2020 R6. Stock for stock the zx6r definitely takes down the R6. Tuned, exhaust same thing. The R6 runs the track good, and the zx6r does too, but as far as more fun and great for everything, The zx6r is the best 600 cc class bike...
