The only thing with a better top end rush than the ZX6R is the Lawnmower 3.0. Get yours and clean yourself up right for 20% off with the code NOOB20 at mnscpd.com/39m2VLD

I love the ZX-6R. Always thought it sounded the best in the inline 4 600cc class. Also I haven't found a video of you riding a Ducati V4R, if you're ever interested and in the Detroit area, I own one and wouldn't mind letting you take it out.

I had experience riding dirtbikes and ATV's, and my buddy started trying to talk me into getting a bike so I could ride with him. Initially I was the "research guy". I poured over forums, watched every papa yam video I could. I went and sat on bikes, asked every question I possibly think of. I finally decided to go with a Yamaha R3. I could learn and get skilled before I stepped up to a larger more powerful bike. Them one day, I was offered a naked 2007 ZX6R in trade for an old truck I had. The spirit of kyle took over my soul, and in an absolute chad moment I said fuck it and made the trade. Best decision I've ever made. Is the learning curve rather steep? will i probably manage to hurt myself on this bike? have I managed to accidentally rip some nooners? Yes, Yes, Yes. But riding this thing is absolutely the most fun I have ever had, and I couldnt be happier with it.

Had great steering feel, maybe better than my new to me 2017 zx10r.

BJN 6 I haven’t abused it or stunted it so it’s just always worked as it should without any issues. (Did have to rebuild front master cylinder but it’s been fine ever since) I even neglected it for 4 years and was going to sell it a couple of times. But once I would get it ready to ride for sell I would ride it and fall in love again. I haven’t done any crazy mods either, just a slip on, servo buddy, tank grips, and windscreen. I’m located in a place with lots of curves and mountains so the 600 class is plenty fast enough and the extra 36/37 cc is honestly perfect for my area. Also it seems the demand for 03 to 06 is on the rise and values for clean ones are going up.
@zixxer636
@zixxer636 4 жыл бұрын
BJN 6 It was also my first street bike so I’m biased. The only other 600s I’ve ridden are an early 00s F4I, Katana 650, 06 CBR600RR, 09 Daytona 675. I don’t like the sitting position on the Honda’s listed you feel more on top of the F4I and 600RR. The Katana was an outdated boat compared to the zixxer. And although the 675 had good low end grunt it just felt like it ran out of steam up top.

Mattingray for whatever fabricated reason I’m simply not a fan of Honda. Lol. Butt... *insert mom jeans picture*.... the reason I went with the zx6 over the other two is this: price point to power and quality ratio. I was able to get a brand spanking new zx6 with ZERO miles and the same price it woulda costed me to get an older GSXR with 20,000 miles on it. Aside from the seat height ergonomics are quite comfortable. Besides, who really wants to be labeled a Gixxer Boi.... yikes.

i own a 2011 model, was my favourite supersport at the time, very good kit as standard, and it was dominating many a world championship at the time. even 10 years later, it's still a very pretty and capable bike in my opinion as this class hasn't had the massive technology and performance increases that the superbike class had and needed. as a result, as an amateur trackday rider, i can still hang with most of the riders in my group, and the bike is certainly capable of more than what i'm willing to push it to.

I love my 2004 ZX6R. 36000km driven, absolutely pristine condition. I prefer to keep it that way. Only problem is that, it might not be the best for everyday use. But boy is it fun to drive to work everyday. At 100kmh/60mph revs are 6000rpm. Of course the redline is over 15k, but it tends to draw maybe too much attention on daily basis. Also Finnish roads are not the ideal smooth asphalt after winter, but still i love it for my whole heart. Used to drive enduro/supermoto before, but after testing my friend 636, i messaged him 4 hours later. "Hey, i got one too!" Just do your mainteance, and its bike for a lifetime.

Got it with the $1,000 discount which went towards an extended warranty and frame sliders installed by the dealer. Bought it because I got my ass handed to me by a Dodge Hellcat while on my Yamaha FZ6R while at a stoplight. Overall was less money than the R6 and more power. Shift light is kind of lame though, the R6's is better.

It’s the same bike with LED’s and quickshifter lmao, I have a 2016 ABS ZX6R and I put a quick shifter and did a headlight swap and it’s about the same. Front part is a bit different also with styling.

I had an 05’. Wonderful bike, I absolutely loved it. But my 19’ feels so much better. The powerband, the cornering, you just feel so much more locked into the bike, and in total control. I also love how you can unleash the beast so to speak in turning traction control off. Even traction control at its lowest kills the bike down a big notch. But when it’s off and you rip that throttle, hold tf on 😂 my 05’ did 165, (dash said 175, so just seeing that alone added to the rush) new one will touch 163, but you can’t hold it there. Needless to say, the new 636 still feels quicker

I've put about 7,500 miles on a ZX6R (between a 2019 and 2020). I have yet to turn off TCS and just leave it on 1. My question is...will I accidentally do wheelies when going full throttle in the lower gears? I guess I've been scared to turn it off as I'm not sure what to expect. Thanks

I was fortunate enough to buy the 04 636 for just $1000. I was pretty new to the biking world. And I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It blew my sv650s out of the water. It was a big learning curve but, I got to say but I'm hooked now. Kawi for life!

I owned a 92 ZZR 600. And overhere in Europe the bike made 98HP. The ZX6R made well over a 100hp - I think 108. Dry weight was 185kg. Back than that was really light for a 600. Performance was awesome. And still is really. I know own a ThunderCat, you know, for old time sakes.

I own a 2015 ZX6R, and I dropped a valve at 22.000 kms... ( I think i was unlucky with my unit because I haven't seen many other >2013 models having the same issue). Despite that, it's a bike that makes you love riding bikes and gets the attention wherever it goes. I'm switchin to a BMW because my needs have changed but I'll probably buy another ZX6R in the future!

I am so glad you did this video lol. I’m in a motorcycle group on Facebook and literally out of the approximate 100 or so people in the group, only about 3 of us have a ZX6R. I love the bike and an “underrated gem” perfectly describes it. Power modes, traction control, and ABS while Yamaha, Suzuki, and Honda we’re still twiddling their thumbs. Then there’s the 636 engine. Laugh all you want, but the ZX6R puts down the most stock power out of all its compadres and it looks great too. I think the previous gen (2013 - 2018) is still the best looking 600cc sport bike. I have a white and black one. Beautiful.

Man this video comes out just 2 days after a car pulled out in front of me and hit my white and black 2013 mint 636. Walked away with nothing more than small scrape on my leather. Was a slow speed hit as I was just coming from a stop sign and had not even shifted to 2nd gear. While I feel super lucky I am still so pissed. I have had so many bikes in my life and this has been by far my fav. Just the right everything IMO. Brought it up to the dealer Saturday and now waiting to hear what the cost will be. The driver who hit me did have insurance but still know I am going to have pay out of pocket for some of it. Frame sliders and rear impaktech subcage pegs saved as much as it could but front cowl, side fairing, front tire fairing, and rotor are the big money items. Not sure what the bike is worth but at any cost 90% is cosmetic so will see how it plays out with insurance. SMH

I bought the 03 ZX6RR when it hit the showroom and rode the SH¡T out of that bike. The only problem I ever had with that bike was when it decided to turn a stoppie into a front flip. It took 6 months to fix and it felt brand new once it was back on the road.

The 2019-2022 ZX6R has the 30% in gearing reduction. These things accelerate like monsters! I owned a 2007 GSXR 1000 for 3 years, I just purchased a 2019 ZX6R, and I am flabbergasted at how hard it freaking accelerates..I sold my 2007 GSXR 1K to buy the 2019 Ninja 636 zx6r, and I do not regret it one but. It’s an animal. It rushes to 140 mph like it’s nothing, and I weight 237 pounds.

Not that it makes too much difference but the first 636cc engine Kawasaki used was in the 2002 model 636A1P, I have one it has Mikuni carbs too. 2003 was the first fuel injected 636 and very much more track focused...👍
