I picked up a 2024 ZX-6R on Tuesday (I’ve been riding a CBR500R for almost 7 years) its an absolutely phenomenal bike for the street. The new cams give it plenty of grunt for low rpm use around town. As for ergonomics, I’m a 6’2 250lbs powerlifter and honestly my only complaint is the weight on my wrists which can be eased with body positioning. Side note: the CBR500R will forever remain in my stable, still a blast to ride years later (with a few power mods of course)

[@Olek570]

have you bought 600 cc sportbike to use for regular street riding only? XD

[@Nate_tureboy]

Getting the motorcycle that appeals to your heart is the best choice. I've owned over 20 Honda cars so when I parted with my last and decided to get a motorcycle I looked nowhere else but for a Honda. I started with an 05 CBR600rr, then got an 06 CBR600rr and an 06 Honda RC51. The aesthetics, sound, incredible handling, and like Yamms mentioned, raw power in the upper rpms far outweighs the negatives. You could make the same arguments for some cars. Such as my two MB 600hp monsters. You cannot go 200mph in America but these things look, sound, and perform amazingly! Bottom line; get what you love and ride other bikes when possible to see if you have interest in that type of riding

I got myself a 2020 Street Triple S 660 as my first bike and I couldn't be happier with it.

I wouldn't imagine getting anything bigger as a starter bike, stay safe out there guys.

[@pitchforkpeasant6219]

A2 restricted? What does that mean

[@SHIIFUTO]

@@pitchforkpeasant6219 In Europe (or at least in most european countries) you cannot get to ride bikes with more than 47.5 hp or bikes above 95hp before power restriction for 2 years in your A2 license. After those two years you can (volunarily and paying) get the A license which allows you to ride any bike no matter the power. My Striple is 95hp but electronically limited to half the power to meet A2 regulations. It's now my decision if after those 2 years of license I want to derestrict the bike or not (after doing the A course).

I have a friend who has a turbo R6 who loves doing squid things. He has a philosophy about it though. Never in traffic, no busy streets, and away from anyone who could possibly get caught up in his shenanigans. He was involved in an accident through no fault of his own, but the other party was seriously injured. It ate at him for years. After that accident his thought process changed when it comes to when and where to pull dank nooners.

Squidding and stupid are synonymous

[@LeakyTrees]

@@olumarkfatungase7556 actually squidding can be safer, because it not only allows people to build up their skills in a real world environment, but also keeps them in the moment and alert to everything going on around them. You’re much less likely to die from a car swerving into your lane if you’re already moving around. When you ride “safe” your reactions to changes can be slower, and it takes more time for you to start avoiding any problems. The channel Squidtips has some great content on it, I highly recommend!

[@mairenared]

I didn't start riding until I was 40 (mid-life crisis) and my first bike was a Suzuki Bandit 400. A great little bike but you had to rev the nuts off it to get a decent performance and I had difficulty keeping up with the other riders in my group who all rode 600s or 750s so in 2000 I bought a Honda CBR 600. To me it's the perfect compromise. It's fast, relatively light, and I don't find it uncomfortable even in town. My only criticism is that the suspension is a bit stiff if you're riding on anything but smooth tarmac. I ride a lot in the mountains of southern Spain and some of those B roads can be full of bumps and potholes ☹️

A very close relative to the GSXR1000 is the GSXS1000F which I ended up buying. $278 for full coverage, and I ended up buying uninsured and medical for it. $400/year. The GSXS1000 is one of the least crashed bikes in the US but its performance is still absolutely bonkers.

thinking about getting rid of my 2015 cb1000r for a new Kawasaki ZX6R. thoughts/concerns? right and wrong answers are acceptable.

[@MR.HOWGRIDER]

Good choice

[@3thndv155]

You can buy lots of monster energy drinks with the money you’ll save.

[@someoneelse1i1i]

All depends on what you want. I think the cb1000r is an awesome bike. The new one has 143 horsepower and is a beast (not the “hypernaked” that’s the current rage).

i'm on a 2008 Suzuki GSX 650 F, what would be a good next bike guys? dont care about ergonomics

[@Tr1xter0]

Guys, I picked up a almost new Kawasaki Z800 thats stock, which slip on exhaust would y’all recommend?

[@GeforceNow-zg4kk]

I'm thinking of starting either on the R1300RS when that comes out or Kawasaki H2 SX SE which one should I pick.

Uhhh that's A LOT of bike for a beginner..

[@hdhejehwkaje6542]

Ive hardly rode my 600 because its in the shop already, but the only thing that hurts is my wrists/arms but thats prob because im putting way to much weight on the bars cause im fat and lazy. My ninja 400 hurt my back more honestly because im like sitting straight up getting hit by the wind, tuck is super low because youre high already and the wind screen is tiny on mine

[@M16xDr0pSh0tz]

do more ab and core exercises and lose weight. it's all fitness riding a supersport

[@willriseabove6858]

I’m kinda liking the katana 750 cause it’s got decent power and can be pretty nimble albeit cumbersome at times. Though I’d like to either go for a 600 or a 1000 unsure which would be worse for traffic lol

[@toddhoffman6204]

A 600cc super sport is faster than a katana 750

@@toddhoffman6204 no shit what’s that got to do with my comment lol

[@GnarshredProductions]

@@willriseabove6858 I just got a 2002 600cc katana as my first bike and I love it. Im only 140lbs and it has all the power I could ever need for riding around on the street. I like the more upright riding position compared to the gsxr its decently comfortable. It is a little bit heavy its not a small bike but feels really stable on the freeway at higher speeds. I think ill keep the bike for a long time and if I decide I need more power ill just swap a 1200cc bandit engine into it.

[@noahhorton400]

I just got an r6 as my third bike in my second summer of riding. Terrible decision honestly, I should have got an r3 or mt07. Going wide open is addicting

[@patrickmba7638]

What happened to the 1st and 2nd ones?

[@deltafrost4976]

What do you think about the new ZX-6R? Does it deserve whole video?

[@someoneelse1i1i]

It seems to be THE 600 right now for the street. No doubt Kawasaki is “stretching their wings” with more new bikes and tech than anyone else right now. From what I hear, as long as it’s what you want, it performs exactly as advertised.

[@jakegarrett8109]

Looks the same as last years model except it has the display from the ZX-4rr and instead of stainless/chrome exhaust they made it black. That's not really much of a change (especailly since many people change the exhaust anyways). They also LOST 12 HP compared to the 2023 model, so... Yeah, apparently my older 2023 model will still win in a race.

[@versatile6714]

Just passed my MSF course last weekend. I’m stuck between a ninja 400 and a zx6r as a first bike. On the one hand i feel I could learn a lot from a 400 but would most likely get rid of it for a zx6r down the line so on the other hand my thinking is just get the zx6r to learn and use until the day it dies. I personally feel a 600 is all I’ll ever need so why not start there and stay there? Any input would be appreciated.

[@Stranger_x13]

Honestly I’m stuck right where you are. I feel like you’ll end up getting the 600 down the line so why not just start of there? But I’ve gotten various and majority of comments do say the 400-450 is the place to start at. I’m still debating myself.

[@bradleykrueger8054]

So get a 500 (; i started on a Gs500f and made the right choice, but moving to an MT07 soon

[@versatile6714]

@@Stranger_x13 I’ve decided to go with the 400 and when I’m ready and comfortable make the jump to the zx6r

[@rabitoblanco]

It's a good call going with the smaller bike first. You will learn much more about riding by progressing your skills on that, then by babying a bigger bike that scares you. To be clear, a 600cc sport bike should scare you, else you're going to get hurt lol Also, there's no such thing as a forever motorcycle ;)

But I got a gsx600f -96 two weeks ago it'll be fun!!!!

[@codystrom8708]

Only real downfall to 600cc is the riding position and comfortability.. but for the most part they all perform great for what they are

[@alanashley1]

If you can find one now get an FZ6 fantastic bike for the road

[@drewherbi]

All these reasons are why the naked 650s are as popular as they are. More comfortable, more torque available down low and they just look good
