2020 Yamaha YZF-R6 vs 2019 Kawasaki ZX-6R: A Novice Track Rider’s Perspective 

Yamaha is looter comany anyways less power less performance more money. Kawa rocks all day

Yamaha's paint sucks too. MT07, MT09 XSR700 AND XSR900. All these models have swing arm rust issues even if you buy new. Yamaha R3 has thin paint which is ruined by factory cover easily. DO NOT BUY YAMAHA. Don't trust me? Check out these bike's forums.

@@ClashLAW_Nis yamaha very good quality and top speed win. İ think R6 best 600cc because, very easy control/turn on crucial. Zx6r more power, less money.

Badass Beast Hey bro..! 😉✌️you post same comment in cbr 1000 rr vs r1m 😂 ..! Yamaha is looter company Honda is Honda and etc... 😂 come on bro chill out.! Nothing is perfect!!!.. be happy always 😉

@@vishnuhasana9661 😉😉 yes bruh... cause people could see and make right choice be happy.✌✌

I've been shopping and doing reviews for 2 years waiting on $$, I'm glad too I've changed my mind numerous times! Lol

RS660 😍. Act, im afraid bout the price of rs660. Surely its gonna be premium.

@@littleace8967 i know..i hope its not ducati v2 premium...

@@Krayziedad enought for the street, back roads, and technical tracks. Unless you really want to kill yourself going all out in a straight line.

For street riding I'm looking at the Kawasaki z900 been out of riding a while but that bike looks great to me

I know this is ages old, but how do you feel about the Gixxer vs. the. Ninja? I’ve ridden the Gixxer and think it’s great, however I do want at least something with a quickshifter and more up to date.

Paid 8900 for my 2019 with abs. Check on cycle trader, deals are out there

Marcelo S Especially in orange

@@yucelguven4816 thats your opinion

People dont get a 600 for track focus these days tho. Just go to a 1k

@@HAPPYFUNTIMEx2 yeah cause they compensate for their lack of skills😂

Man i plan to buy cbr650r only thing thats keeping me is the insurance.

@@ClashLAW_Nis , are you in the USA? I can't imagine the insurance would be that much. I pay 14 bucks a month for full coverage on my CBR500R.

glsracer lucky you. I’m 26, live in europe. I looked at a 2010 gsxr 600 for a good price. Looked up insurance costs before i bought it. 2700usd in a year for only insurance that does NOT cover damage on your own vehicle. Big no.

@@HeyAddieImTojo it's not unheard of to pay 250 to 300 USD per month for insurance in the USA if you are young. Usually by 25 it's more reasonable. I'm in my 30s and a ZX-6R would probably cost me around 70 bucks per month for full coverage. It helps to have multiple vehicles as well. I have 4 cars and a motorcycle on my account and they know I can't drive them all at the same time so there's a lot of savings there.

@@glsracer your 50hp cbr?? cos thats relevent to 130hp bikes right?

what do you mean newbie? Isn't the guy a race driver?

would you say the same about the following years ???

Yahto TV good right up very true

I consider your point of view but I hope now that stands not as for the Kawasaki's R&D for making the best of all 600-650 class superbikes.,& that's it. Considering the Power to Weight Ratio of them all, this ZX-6R dominates ,& when added with race kits then the 11 lb excess weight along with the tail lights and side light's all might add about 1.5 kgs or more & the silencer here is bigger with a Calatyst & made to meet the Euro 5 or 6 requirements, adding up more weight. But here the R6 needs to meet to the latest pollution standard's of Euro & Bharat VI Standards of India,& might be the reason why they have not launched their R6 in India since Yamaha's entry into India. I was also eager to buy this R6 but though after frequently enquiring them they have not assured to launch it in this competitive motor world as yet, Why ??? But at the ZX 6R at competitive price & more powerful engine than the R6 will dominate the track race also & the rider's skill is all set to make use of it's power to win the track races also, as for it's power to weight ratio is far better than any other 600 c.c bike's hopefully. But this year I'm sure that ZX-6R has some changes to it further than the 2019 model. See it, & you would go for this ZX-6R.

i was gunna say mine came with one and was reading since 2017 they did

@@sridharc8084 I am from the US where the CBR600RR and GSXR600 are still sold. In the US we have access to all the 600cc super sport bikes. They are all very popular here. The CBR and GSXR have a hard core following. Yes I am very aware of all the updates to the ZX-6R. I agree the ZX-6R is a better street bike than the R6 because of the gearing change, the softer suspension, and the ergonomics. But as I stated in my original post it is a more street focused bike than the R6. The R6 is a very track focused bike. But with that said the CBR600RR is the best street bike of all 4 of the Japanese 600cc bikes. It is the lightest and most comfortable. With the GSXR600 and 750 being a very close second in ergonomics. The CBR is the most balanced still to date. Still to date the CBR600RR and Yamaha R6 are the best track bikes. They have more wins/championships than any of the others. Yes the ZX-6R is a good track bike, it feels planted and gives confidence to the rider. Yes an average rider will feel better on a ZX-6R because of this. The softer suspension plus the good brakes. Yes the ZX-6R feels fast on the street because of the little extra low/mid range and the gearing change. But you are never in the low/mid range on the track, or at least you shouldn't be. The R6 is track focused and that way for a reason. You are fooling yourself if you think the ZX-6R is faster on track. Again the average rider that does track day for fun will probably enjoy the ZX-6R more, but a more skilled rider will go faster on the R6. Yes Yamaha has not upgraded from Euro 4 as it did that on the R1 this year. I fully expect all their experience with that to translate to R6 changes in 2021. Not only did they make those changes to the R1 but with no HP loss, meaning there is actually HP gain with engine changes and with a full system and tune you will see nice gains on the R1. Yamaha may have some nice surprises coming in the R6, maybe even a new motor. Honda is coming out with a new CBR600RR as well in 2021. Who knows when and if Suzuki plans on finally doing a long over due update on their 600 & 750. As to HP on all the 600cc super sports. You can get 120HP to the ground out of any of them. There is no wrong 600 to buy. It is all about what the rider wants and what makes them happy as they are all good.

quick shifter not standard. From yamaha r6 web page: "riders looking for an extra edge an accessory quick shift system can be installed ..."

Very well put & no bias..I own a 2014 & agree with what being said to an extent.. Again, very well put without being fully bias towards one bike or the other.👌🏽

who leads ? 😅

thought supersports were litre bikes

@@tzovlask Oh, you should learn motorcycling culture around Asian countries then :p

LandShark503 - ZX-14R Motovlogs ...What did the trooper have to say? 😂🍻

@@blipco5 :) I got real lucky! He was a motorcycle rider, too. He asked how fast I thought I was going, and I told him I stopped looking at 125mph, but told him it was probably only 132mph. He showed me the radar gun with 153mph clocked on it. I smiled and said, "Huh! I didn't think they were supposed to go that fast, I thought they topped out at about 149mph." We chatted in his car while he ran my license and was asking all kinds of questions about the bike. I offered to let him ride it, and he had a hard time turning it down. In the end, he told that he reduced the speeding ticket to 97mph because of the fact that I pulled over and stopped immediately when he flipped on his lights when I could have just kept going and disappeared. He was driving an old 1978 Plymouth Fury cop car. He said it would let me avoid arrest and would save me a few points on my license, but he told me that I'd have to go before the judge. I showed up for my court appointment, and the judge says the officer wrote me up for doing 79mph and asked how do I plead? I thought he trying to trick me into perjury and told him I was written up for 97mph. He looks at me and says, "Well, I'm reading this as 79mph. Unless you really WANT me to fine you for 97mph? The officer should have written more legibly." I said, "No, sir. 79mph it is. And thank you." He smacked his gavel, I paid my fine, and I got the heck out of there fast! :)

LandShark503 - ZX-14R Motovlogs ...Good story. I recently got the blue lights for going 97 in a 55 zone. The cop wrote me up for 84 because I too pulled over. He said after 20 above it was several hundred more dollars in fines. He also said that if I just stayed in my lane he wouldn't have pulled me over at all since he saw I slowed down once I saw him. (A sign of respect). A few months later I had to outrun a state trooper who caught me doing triple digits in a 50 mph zone. (Triple digits they arrest you and impound the bike). I'm old enough to know when enough is enough. I sold it and bought a more mellow bike. I love riding and it's best to do it in one piece. Ride well. 🍻

@@Land-Shark Landshark that's a hell of a story. I was a cop for 40 years and a motorcycle guy for 45 years now . I've cut more than a couple motorcyclist a break cuz they stopped like someone with a brain should. In my late sixties now but hope to get some track time on my CBR or Thruxton R as soon as covidd goes away

'03 ZX6RR 176MPH If I were to have tucked anymore than I did, I would have fused with the bike. My buddy was on an '03 R1 and he hit 191MPH. We ran out of road before we ran out of bike. When people say something around 150MPH on a 600cc, that's as fast as they want to go. Don't get me wrong, once you reach 150MPH it seems like you hit a wall, but there is more and you really have to dig for it.

Can you ride HARD?

um zx6r cost abit more than r6 tho but i would still go for kawi either way

@@TheKccorporation cost is dependent on where u are. The old r6 was cheaper for me but in my area the Kawasaki is cheaper this gen tho I am a Yamaha person between the two. Back made me go to naked sport bikes tho now, but I always loved the r6 sound. The r6 was always my dream bike before my back probs. Sad now that I could afford a newer supersport I can't take the sitting position. But I do love the ride of the naked sport bikes, just not the looks as much

@Johnny Steffy torque is nice though if you are going to do both Street and track. I think the r6 is a better track bike and I love the r6 motor, but it isn't novice friendly so for a new track rider I wouldn't suggest it. But for pure track bike r6 is my pick if u have experience

@@ndperson1 I like the r6 but if i had to daily i would choose the 636. The r6 Ergonomics is mean't for the track, not street riding so much.

it's not a no brainer, the R6 is fucking beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

Like it too.. but stone hard seats though! Shame

@@jeffroze5955 Watch motonosity's video on new seat fro R6. Comfortable AF

Azal Darain link to video?

R6 is not comfortable lol it’s tall cramped and no juice low mid range. Not practical against Zx6r much more useable power ALOT better for street. I own 2020 636 n my buddy own 2020 r6 n he’ll tell u same thing. R6 is a great bike tho I’m not knocking it at all.

jay M Do an ECU reflash and get a full exhaust, the reflash and full exhaust will get you even more power and will help the bike run cooler by having the fan come on sooner when temp hits 200 F.

Silly boy! Girls ride Kawas

I hear the forks and rear shock are really soft no matter the settings is this true or is it okay?

WoW I thought you would talk about it in your channel!!

R6 and zx6r, your views on it...vdo chahiye vai🙂

Man can you make english subtitles for your yamaha r6 review, since no other Indian reviewer has covered it yet.

Adam or Ryan ?

Start with Kawi, when you become better rider and exploit it to the limit sell it and buy R6

you mind me asking your weight n height ???

@@matteezy8915 5’11 & like 220 lol Imma fat fuck okay

me too man

Artist: Audio-ology Song: Roar Of A Lion soundcloud.com/audio-ology/audio-ology-roar-of-a-lion

Jonathan Rhea would disagree with you. 5 times.

@@awnis001 can i have your opinions

Kawi is cheaper, and has more power. With the price difference you can have added parts, better brakes, better suspension and would still be faster on a track or straightaway pull

Jonathan Pontel, I agree. However for say track only being lighter and sharper with its stearing makes it better, much better suited to track days. Anyone can go fast in a straight line however cornering speed and flicking a bike from side to side only a few can master the art of race craft.

@@marcusgeorge1825 true that's why I stated doing pulls is more suitable for everyone as opposed to skill level on tracks. And you weren't wrong on the commuting part cause they are super uncomfortable for long distance even mediocre distance

Jonathan Pontel comfort on sport bikes is personal preference i commute on both a r6 and a zx6r daily and find each of them pretty comfortable

NathanDaniel how do you commute on two bikes daily. You must be one hell of a talented individual.

i thought it was cuz of the short seat n not being able to slide back

@@matteezy8915 i dont know honestly. Probably a combo of wide tank and just being hunched over with a lot of weight moved toward the wrists.

@@kyore789 you’re most likely exactly right !!

J. Lawrence did you end up finding it ? I got no luck
