Should You Buy the ZX6R for Your First Bike?

[@Deeroc25]

I agree with you. Too much power for an inexperienced rider. There’s always gonna be people who say “I started on a 600 and I did fine”. Good for you, but that’s one person’s experience. Just compare what you pay for insurance on your R3 versus what you pay for the ZX-6R. It’s probably something like 10X more.

[@JagMoto636]

There’s always those guys 😂 that’s another reason why you should start on a smaller cc bike! Insurance is way cheaper on my R3. R3=$100/year ZX6R= $174/month

[@noobrider8776]

My insurance is perfectly cheap and fine, but u gotta remember I pay insurance all year around, not 4/5 months out the year. And u do have idiots that ride and crash right away for not respecting the bike. Even ones who ride for a while. Jus like my man who posted this video, wrecked his first zx6r on what 4 days and this is after riding a r3 for a while. Come on people, common sense.

Took the full course, bought a 650, was bored out of my mind in 3 months. Got a 2016 ZX6R and I love it. The 650 is a nice bike, but the top end was lacking, I didn't like the upright position, hated the 2 cylinder putter sound sound, I would have quit riding if I didn't get this bike. I do agree that its not a beginner bike for most, self control is the big issue, I haven't even pushed into the bikes power band yet, I know my ability and limitations and still have a lot to learn. Also im 5'5" and have no issues.

[@morsebaittackleco.5250]

First road bike I ever bought was a 2020 z400 and I feel the exact same waywith everything you just said, although it's a great starter bike especially for shorter riders it didn't take me long to get bored of it, I wished I would've went with the z650 to start with but the 400 got me used to the weight and balance of a street bike, and was a little better fit anyways next move is probably to get a zx6r, I just want something with a more bite and bark to it, although with the can I have on my 400 sounds and runs good for what it is I want the sound and power of an inline engine. Ive learned how self control is a big factor in advancing your riding capabilities, if your getting a bigger faster bike you gotta learn to ride with due respect to that motorcycle, don't be that guy that says "yeah I did 150 on my buddies cbr600 (never actually has ridden a motorcycle at all) once, I can handle getting one" and then go get one to have for a month before yeeting yourself into oblivion on it. You can technically start on anything if you respect the machines power

Throttles on bigger bikes are just hairs away from taking flight. But that's why we buy them. Can't say I've had a boring commute in a long time.

[@WinnieRaccoon]

Everything in this video is completely wrong! It doesn't matter what bike is your first bike, it's all about discipline and throttle control and knowing your clutch. that's it. i'm 50 years old, been riding motorcycles since my teenage years and my first bike was a liter bike. it was given to me for free since the original owner couldn't take it with him overseas and i had a fantastic time learning how to ride. most times when you let out the clutch the bike will move itself and it's a great way to learn how to go slow with just the clutch alone. as for the throttle, it was very sensitive so it was all about how much power you really need and just give the throttle just a pinch and your good. as far as the power of the bike, yeah it was powerful enough where i didn't even take it out of first gear because i was already doing 80 on the freeway and i was only in first gear so that really helped with stop and go traffic where i didn't have to keep switching gears all the time. as for my height i'm 5'6 and my feet never touched the ground! there was a good 1 inch of space between me and the ground but you're not spending all your time standing with the bike, you're riding the bike. i have friends shorter than me like 5'2 and 5'3 and they riding Yamahara R1's as their first bikes. my bike did eventually broke down because it was so old and i got a yahama r6 and was that better? NO!! more sensitive throttle, still can't touch the ground and the bike feels faster than my old liter bike but i'm disciple enough to respect the bike, respect the speed, respect the law and other drivers around you. that's all it is. ride any bike you want, just know and understand the bike like you would a girlfriend or wife!! Ride safe!!!

Depends on the person. For 20% yes for the other 80% no.

[@FuzedBox]

I remember you crashing your original ZX-6R, and that was such a shame; the 2021 models looked great in your white and also my teal color scheme. I grew up riding friends and family's four wheelers. Got my '03 CRF150f in 2002, and bought a used, but heavily modified and bored out '03 CRF450R two years later. I rode the shit out of them, never having any serious dumps. In 2008, I bought a repo'd '07 ZZR600 (same exact bike as '00-'02 ZX-6R; a reprint if you will). I rode the shit out of it for years. It had many dings and scratches and problems when I was done with it at nearly 60,000mi. Again, none my small scrapes were serious on it. It had gearbox issues late in its life and I sold it in 2018. Missed riding so much, I bought my 2021 ZX-6R. Fuck ABS; I don't want or need it, but I totally understand why it's a good decision for you. Back to the bike: I love mine. 2000mi on it and no issues. It's definitely less ergonomic than my old ZZR though. I agree that new riders shouldn't start on a new ZX-6R. The throttle really is twitchy; it has a pronounced "digital" feel to it with an obnoxious throttle cut at low twist. That thing really is kinda jumpy, but that's all because of the electronic fuel injection programming. I miss old carbureted bikes with their analog throttle response, but I don't miss cold weather starting. I can definitely see how you wrecked your bike.

I’ve been riding a grom for about a year and I’m more than ready for an upgrade. For me it’s between a ninja 400 and the 636. I’ve gotten pretty good on the grom (as good as you can do for a bike so small) and I don’t want another bike that I’m just gonna end up growing out of in a few months like I did with the grom. The reason I’m not 100% about just buying the 636 is that my throttle control is probably not as good as it should be due to constantly being full throttle on my 8hp grom. If someone could give my some advice as to which to go for it would be much appreciated.

[@JagMoto636]

Definitely get the 636 if you can find one. You can keep it in low power mode while you learn.

[@lovewrld352]

@@JagMoto636 thanks! There are both 400’s and 636’s in my area for basically the same or similar price so that helps a lot.

Thanks lol

100% true! I was going to get the ninja 650 but unfortunately the dealership never called me back to let me know they had arrived. I got inpatient and found a dealership that had a 2021 zx6r and got the same week. I never really had any riding time. At most a 10 min lessen in a gsxr 600. I love my bike got the white with gray and haven’t dropped it but I don’t ride it too crazy. I got chicken strips😂 but still learning!! Under a year of riding still and got 4500 on the dash! Great video and totally agree with everything you said man! New sub! Update! I went down on it yesterday😂 fairings are broken no leaks or major broken parts was able to ride it home and I’m good just sore as hell!

[@JagMoto636]

Damn glad you’re okay man! I crashed my white and gray one after 4 days lol

[@fernandoreyes8400]

Thank you and yeah I seen u mention it on the video it’s a different type of pain isn’t it? I’m going to keep the white and grey colors really like them!

[@jamesgeorgevellavella1961]

I'm living out my dreams literally and my Mrs has surprisingly been very supportive. For my first bikes I bought zx4rr zx6r same day purchase and the 500 all 40th anniversary (500 isn't here next week due to interstate delivery and not local dealer like all of my bikes except for the Chinese bikes) I'm about to get learners permit (Australia) so I will only be allowed to ride the 500 and 650 (25 650 KRT on the way also 🥳🎉). I'm going to say the 500 is for the Mrs so I can 650 without the headache 😅

Love that bike I’m getting me new motorcycle I was thinking about buying this bike and then using a and older bike to use I’m also doing the courses

[@tshane307]

I totaled this 2 months after i bought it as a beginner rider. So i hereby claim your info is legit. Regards the fact that 2021 doesn't have abs as well so that is also another drawback. And you're right. The throttle is super sensitive. I'm 5/9 but still tiptoed a bit. Definitely i should have got r6 or cbr 600 instead of zx6r 4 cylinders and extremely fast without abs... ouch. I was doing fine with the r3 and cbr500 tho. But consider riding experience, i shoulda not gotten the zx6r...

[@JagMoto636]

Sorry to hear that man 😢. What happened???The KRT edition has abs.

[@evoxjordan6330]

Just bought a 2011 zx6r for my first bike ;)

[@jamesgeorgevellavella1961]

I'm tossing up between this or zx6r 40th anniversary or the 2025 650 KRT ninja. I already have the 500 and zx4rr both in 40th anniversary. Problem is Mrs wants to ride with me, now we are both on Learners and I have 4mths before full licence. Also that 25 650 doesn't get here until October November where's the zx6r in dealership not far from me. Any input appreciated

[@JagMoto636]

Definitely would get the zx6r!

[@jamesgeorgevellavella1961]

​@@JagMoto636thanks. I took your advice and bought zx6r also. 500 zx4rr zx6r all 40th. I swear I'm going to get blow up mattress and sleep in the middle. I even said to the dealer I'd send him a pic 😂

[@jamesgeorgevellavella1961]

​@@JagMoto636Mrs said to me "You only live once and if you want to buy it then buy it" I wonder if she'd say that if she knew what would have happened days later (she thinks I only spent 26k lol closer to 44 not including 650 so 57k reality 😅. Hopefully I get extra on sale of my home 🙏

[@thepnc222]

I had a 2010 ZX6R as my first. I wish I had a 250 as my first bike not gonna lie. Just to push it more and be a better rider. But I took motorcycle classes on my ZX6R and got better with it though.

[@srslywhattf]

Have a 2009 zx6r as my first. I love it to pieces, and all of my buddies are jealous, but i agree. I should have bought an r3.

[@cjlaser0]

my first bike, its fun but not fast as you would think.

[@Laceta2]

It can be your 1st bike as long as its on low power mode, then you can work yourself from there 😁 If you're looking for a Kawasaki as your 1st big bike then it's either the ZX6r or Z900 😘

Could you realistically go from a grom to a zx6r

[@JagMoto636]

Yeah definitely I know people that got a zx6r as there first bike!

[@ThunderousNinja]

Im glad I did the z400. This thing can kick! A zx6r is a very neat bike for intermediate/high skilled riders. There's no shame in holding off a good three seasons. You'd be sad if you got it and couldn't even maintain it. Let alone at 24-29 your full coverage is gonna be robbery in a toll booth 😂

[@JagMoto636]

Lower cc bikes are super fun and nimble. Still love riding my R3. Full coverage is crazy high for a brand new zx6r

[@ThunderousNinja]

@@JagMoto636 I feel ya bro. Even a 650 isn't ideal. Once I get good, I may snag a ninja 300 as a second bike for giggles that's used so I can really do little stunts in a proper place without people or trouble
