A Squib is a slow burning fuse... which is why the term "Squib = no glove, riding in jeans, no boots, open face helmet or no helmet.

[@twowheelpilot]

My pick of the 600 class bikes is the 636 Kawasaki ZX6R. That extra 36 cc is very noticeable on the track and street. Looks wise the R6 gets it.

[@marcustaylor670]

I rode a 636 back in the day but as I was swapping around loads of bikes all the time I couldn't really tell the difference between most 600's. The Honda's always seemed to have the stronger midrange of the 600's I rode a lot and they were the only ones that I nearly highsided in the dry on the road and track. I swapped one of the cams on my old F3 with a later one which didn't really give anymore hp but moved it up the revs a bit and made it easier to ride on the limit. For me the whole point of a 600 is you can get away with murder on the throttle and not worry about getting spat off. The Yamaha's always seemed to give the best most useable engines for my riding style. If I get back into riding I would like to perhaps get hold of a 636 B1H, I love the looks and they are sharp. At the time I was looking I'd got bored of 600's and bought the ZX10R instead, too much for the road but with mods was the most awesome bike I've ever ridden on the track especially with the slicks on. I think any modern 600 won't disappoint as long as everything is working as it should, all of them from the year 2000 on are excellent pieces of kit.

The r6 is so cool cause they made it look like the R1. Most of the R6 riders just wish they had the R1. I was lucky enough to take over my brothers payments on his 2018 R1. Went from my 2018 gsxr600 to the R1. Weighing in at 138 with full gear on the R1 was absolutely insane. Rode the hell out of it daily, aftermarket rearsets help the comfort level. Also adjusting the suspension to your weight helps tremendously.

It's called torque. A 750 always has more of it than any 600. 600s have more HP and weigh less than older models, but they still don't have the torque. Liter bikes from 20 years ago are still faster than 600s and 750s because of... torque.

I loved 600s until i jumped in to a 1000cc.. the difference in power and torque is a lot.. i dont see myself getting a 600 unless is a cheap deal

[@queue1176]

Same!

[@JustinCglass]

Props yammy That was the best way to plug your sponser ever Great job dude Love your vids

[@shoopyman72]

I've owned a ZX-6R they do not do 175 miles an hour I don't know where you got that information from. That would be faster than a GSXR 750 truth be told they get up to 162 to 165 miles an hour indicated so basically the 157 most mentioned in reality. The power drops off too fast past the power Peak so it cannot pull Redline in Top Gear

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

What your saying seems more along the lines of correct compared to what he was saying. I've seen numerous videos of newer 636's topping out at 165 & several at 168 and the video by way of title or answering comments said the bike was stock. So more than likely a GPS would say 160 if I had to guess. I've seen 155 and still climbing on a ZX-6E10 or just ZX-6 2002 model and that bike is really old. Wiki say's that bike's top speed is 154.00 and another website said it was 145?

[@ervinkanyo9012]

Nice vid man. I enjoyed it. I own actually 2 600 Bikes, two Hondas. 600RR and CB650R. But another question, where did you get that Vid of that castle at 12:28? It's really dope! What is the name of it? Actually, nevermind, I can watch it from my backyard :) Greetings from Germany and the Castle Neuschwanstein, a really nice place to visit. Cheers man

[@timreed9722]

Well, those articles about the Honda CBR600RR being discontinued aged well. I currently own a 2021 CBR600RR. lol

[@crimsonfox997]

Have you owned an older model? If so how did it compare

[@Dales_79]

I had a 2006 R6 a few years ago, all i did to it was a race air filter and a funnel exhaust (looked like a funnel with no baffle) would pull an indicated 285km or 177 freedom tickets.

[@devinwagers3134]

I love my thundercat! Mine is a 98 but I kept right up with an 07 r6.

[@MattHadlow-wood]

I am with you on the T cat it's a ride all day missile, was speaking to a guy who races and he said T cat lap times on circuits would place mid pack with today's bikes

[@mel_boogie23]

Love me a Kawi!!! Can't wait to get a another!

[@perfectentrytrading]

For anyone looking at a thundercat look at fzr600 it's 1 generation earlier and if you put thundercat pistons and barrels on it (straight swap) you'll get 105hp at the wheels ish and 13.2:1 compression makes them a rocket ship

[@marcustaylor670]

Is that the 600R or the early genesis? I have a magazine somewhere where someone got the two FZR engines and did something similar, it gave it a few more cc's. Personally I'd just get the FZR600R and forget the heavy Thundercat, it's a lighter, better bike and will do 155mph stock anyway. Has the bonus of looking like a YZF750R too with the foxeye lights, it is the true predecessor of the R6.

[@jeffreycooper7264]

ThunderCat was a fantastic bike! I miss mine. I called I an R6 with a banana seat.

Found an incredible Zx6 2005 with 60.000 miles for 2.500 euros in Greece and I fell in love… I’m really thinking to get it soon .

At 11:47 its not CB 600f yammie its CBR 650R your editor needs to know more about bikes😅

Oh I see!

[@Libertà_sulla_vita]

I think he was trying to equate the cbr600f4i with hondas modern line of 650's but the f4i was a predecessor to the 600rr.

[@Libertà_sulla_vita]

Hell, i actually like the look of the cbr650r. Id buy one if they hand more grunt.

The Aprilia looks good, at least. MVAgusta is a bike my Mommy rides. The Triumph is something my Daddy used to ride, but he died back in 1964! Ohhhh, the gixer-6, groovy Marsha! The Honda builds second-rate push mowers. The R6, the Yamaha built by the Wave-runner people. A-hah! The KAW!

Missed out the suzuki gsx650f which is basically a full race faired bandit with a tuned engine 85bhp top end 130. Production ended in 2012 but can puck one up in the uk for about 2k

Hell yeah Scott! As a Honda simp myself with both an F2 and F4 (want an F3 too,lol), they are just terrific motorcycles that stand the test of time. Where were going, we don't need "rider control" That's us!!! Hope it's either of us that wins the Fireblade bruh!!!! Should go to a TRUE Honda Boi that will actually be able to ride it, in true appreciation of the family lineage.... Fingers crossed for you too Scott!!!

I think the best 600cc super bike is a 2004-05 Suzuki gsx-r 600cc and it’s very impressive bc my 04 gsx-r topped out at 186-187 mph and it only had a slip-on and power Commander and it had 110-115hp

I used to do finance at a massive used motorcycle shop. I have seen PLENTY of grenaded GSX-R600 motors. Our service contract paid for quite a few of them!

[@andrewredmon4119]

Just thought I would point out that the YZF600R was NOT based on the old R6. The release order went FZR600, YZF600R, and then the R6.

[@Sevarrius]

Came down to the comments to see if anyone else had caught this. Indeed It's the other way around, first gen R6 was based on the YZF600R in so far as it had the same base engine as the Thundercat just tuned differently to produce a bit more power. Also as an extra bit of trivia the first gen R1 used the Thundercat brakes.

[@Xenirie]

Still rockin' my starter bike, an 05 YZF 600r. They should bring back the sport/touring class properly is what they should do. Great vid!

I am supreamly sad you didnt mention the fz6 which makes the bandit look slow. 599cc 98hp 46 ft lbs toques and a top speed of 142 mph i ride one and love it. It hauls balls and can be comohey for a long ride

[@niteshvishwakarma6709]

Super Bike Racer (SBR) on R6 vs ZX6R or even 1000cc.

[@AdmV0rl0n]

I have a suggestion - given your audience, content creation etc. Plan a 3 week visit to the isle of man. That would be during practice week, and then the 2 weeks of the TT. Take a crew so its a working holiday. But think you'd find it one of the most rewarding and interesting trips of a lifetime and a treasure trove for content creation and stuff to cap and film.

[@phatphobic]

So why does everyone say the cbr 600 is the best starter bike but is the “most dangerous somehow”

[@Nakaamaa]

Not “everyone” are knowledgeable about motorcycles

[@thurmy_]

@zx10rheader did...did you not watch the video? He literally said the GSXR is the slowest...

[@2wheelsonly614]

All 600s are about the same speed..hondas are just made to be good street bikes with good low and mid range and not so much top speed...they are all within 5hp of each other.

[@2wheelsonly614]

@zx10rheader u clearly dont ride if you think a 600 that can go 160mph is " TOO SLOW" AND DANGEROUS.

Very informative video, really appreciate your thoughts and inputs. Wanted a bike for years when I was younger(20-25ish) was dead set on a 600. 35 now looking to get into riding thought about a 600 again. But leaning towards a 400 now

[@marcustaylor670]

The 400 will be good until you go out with your friends on 600's. An ER6 or SV650 would be a good bike to get the rust off and it will keep up in a group as long as the riding is relatively sensible. It's what I'll go with if I start riding again, I'm 45, a 400 twin would get left for dead by both of my cars which cost peanuts so pointless for me. Shamefully riders are so slow these days I can keep up with most bikes on the corners. If I get another bike and I'm that slow that I can't outrun cars I will sell it straight away and get rid of my leathers. My cars are 2 decade old sheds, admittedly one has been used on trackdays and is well setup but even so it's nowhere near as capable as a bike. Doing the corners in a road car you have done on a bike is like going in slow motion.

[@sir.636]

I would just go with the 636 or other 600. Most 2 cylinders do not have enough power to warrant a sport bike setup. There are more comfortable bikes with similar power.
