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.

The Showa suspension on the ZX6 is pretty dam good.. I was pleasantly surprised with it actually.. I ride my 2021 ZX6R on some serious long rides.. I go from Boston to the White Mountains in New Hampshire all the time.. I feel it in my left wrist a little bit after about an hour and a half of steady riding.. Other than that I have no issues with the comfort.. Its an excellent daily rider.. Maybe the best ever when it comes to supersports.. I still love those R6s though..

@@jonedquist701 I may be a little late but, if you are using it for track the r6 would be nice because it handles very well, the zx6r is much more comfortable imo. I would go to a dealer and get a feel for the bike because some people think the r6 is more comfortable and some don’t like me because it feels way to cramped and the seat. R6 lookz nice as hell to tho. So for pure track use i’d go for the r6, for street and track id go for the zx6r.

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.
@PetroHead
@PetroHead 3 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.

Great review! I have a '13 ZX6R and love it. My friend has an '18 R6. He loves it. We ride the track together. Most of the time I beat him in power on the straights. 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.

Hey new sub keep videos coming. I have a question for you. When you picked up your RS how much for your pre coast and your freight charge. I know every deals is different but if you can help would mean alot.

I paid 12500 OTD.. if you can pay MSRP OTD you got a good deal. Pro tip: call and tell them you’re willing to pay MSRP OTD and that’s all you can afford.. even if you have to ship cross country, it’s worth saving $$$ (don’t negotiate in person)

R6 is way better than zx6r anytime. People go for kawasaki because of cheaper price tag. But in 600 cc only Yamaha can give you best experience.

ey bro when I was about to pull a trigger to buy my motorcycle the Yamaha R7 leaked photos just came out. Any thoughts on it? It seems like a downgrade (power) from the R6 especially if they only want to compete with the RS660.

@@PetroHead I'd probably choose the Kawa. I'm about your age, similar lack of height 🤣, reasonably fit but the R6 is an adrenaline injection device designed for speed only.
