2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R / Full Review / Everything You Need to Know 

Thanks! You should 👍

Yeah, me too. I'm leaving it in Rain mode until I don't suck. The only thing that turns me off is the riding position and a zx4rr looks like a lot of fun

Trying to get content creators to do at least do rumble too at minimum. YT become a bit fascontrolists

If you work for the fire department! Lol jk

40th edition still the best tho

goin to pick mine up friday been waitin a month 😂

you're talking to a dude who bought a black motorcycle and wears everything full black. What did you expect him to say 😂

@@Azurym Yes! Exactly! Lol 👍

I fully agree the rest are poop haha

You guys are crazy

Same here, love the bike and have had many compliments on the color scheme already.

​@@Frosty-rd6en40th anniversary is the best one

​@@Zx6rBlueAbsolutely. I purchased the ones dealer had and then paid interstate delivery for the last 40th. (500 zx4rr zx6r all 40th). Those colours are fking awesome 👍 From Australia

Awesome man! It's a sick machine 😎

Well done bro. ❤from Australia. We have only just started getting them in store and not all dealers have (I purchased 40th Anniversary so maybe that's why hard to get?)

Amazing! I've got to do a tail tidy and smoked windscreen, it's on my list. Appreciate your comment, enjoy the new bike!

Hey thanks a bunch man! 👍

Thanks Matt! You're going to love it

@@bikesandbangsI just checked out the rest of your channel - guns, cars, and bikes?!? Hell yeah man! New favorite channel. All of my favorite things in one place🤣 love the content keep it up!!

Yeah we're always wrenching or doing something fun! 👍

It's too much fun! Thanks man 👍

Thanks man! Yeah I had one of the blue 2004's back in the day, it's awesome to have one 20 years newer now. Amazing machine 👍

I could not walk past them. Walked out of Kawasaki owning 500 zx4rr zx6r all 40th Anniversary. I couldn't believe my luck and dealership only got them last week (Australia)

Thanks man! Yeah the hypermotards are cool, feel of a dirtbike and power of a sport bike, I've ridden a couple of them. This zx6r is a ton of fun though, you'll like it a lot 👍

Thanks a bunch! It'll take ur breath away 👍

Awesome! You're gonna be like a kid in a candy store, this thing is so wicked!

Getting mines in like 4-6 so im excited with you brody!!!

Thanks man! 👍

Agreed🏆. Transfer fees plus all the other charges is a waste of money. I tell people get a zx6r and leave the rpms below 6 til they get more experience. If they have ANY self control theyll be fine

Awesome troy! You are going to love this thing 👍

I'll keep you posted on the bike and my thoughts about it!@@bikesandbangs

Please do!

Thanks man! Yeah this is a cool machine, very versatile and practical features on it

Thank you man! 👍

That's awesome, thanks man! It's a good one, killer looks, awesome performance and features, and a good one to modify if that's ur thing 👍

Thanks man, and congrats! Hopefully they track you one down soon 👍

Thanks man! Your gonna have a ton of fun 👍

Me too just put the deposit down 4 hours ago

Hey thank you very much! 👍

I've seen that, but it's not available in the USA

There's lots to love about it!

Oh you will end up with one, just you wait

@@bikesandbangs z900 is a naked super sport that’s comfortable, with 125 horsepower, zx6r is too aggressive for long ride for me!!

I almost got the z900 because I used to have a z1000. I love the naked style with more upright ergonomics. Somehow I ended up with the zx6r though lol

@@bikesandbangs cool, I really like the z900rs cafe, I like the retro look, they haven’t change much so maybe get a used one! Right now I have an sv650, I love it!!

You're exactly right. The SV's are great bikes, nice torque and I love the sound of a v twin. If you got a sv650 you'd be fine with a zx6r. About the same power until you wind it up in the high rpm's

Thanks man! If you delete the resonator box with a slip-on you'll shave off 15-20lbs, depending what exhaust you throw on

Awesome, thanks man! 👍

It behaves weird when you have the quick shifter on but still try and clutch it

Well, you know the Honda will be reliable, it will run smooth as a sewing machine, but it has a little less power. Doesn't have as many features as this one. No rider modes I don't believe, if that makes any difference. The Kawasaki is cheaper, comes in more colors, has more parts available if you want to customize it. I love my Honda's, had many, but I think Kawasaki took the crown this year for the better 600

It just depends if that stuff is important to you or not. If you like rider aids and the color red, then that's the best bike for you. I have a non-abs bike because I've been riding my whole life without it. I never have my quick shifter turned on other than in these RU-vid tutorials. I always have traction control completely off and power set at full. If you want less to do and worry about, than you will want all the electronic goodies, but it's hard to become a better rider if you rely on all that stuff or think you need it. If you become a seasoned rider without all that stuff, you won't ever use it because you will want to be in control of the bike, not the computer. I got used to riding liter bikes 15 years ago, I'm almost 33 years old, and there was no abs, power modes, traction control, quick shifter, nothing. And you were forced to learn how to become a very good rider, or you died. It was 180hp, unforgiving, brutal, and raw, and those bikes made greats riders out of people. Moral of the story, Honda and Kawasaki make excellent machines, the kind of rider you are or want to be will determine what you look for or want in a bike. And that answer is different for everyone. Haha long rant that probably didn't answer your question at all

@@bikesandbangs beautiful answer, thank you.

My thoughts exactly

Well considering I look at the panigale v2's online every other day and debate getting one, that's tough. There is zero question that the zx6r is the more reliable bike, less maintenance, more aftermarket parts, just a more user friendly bike all around. But the panigale is going to be more powerful, the vtwin sound is totally different, and you will catch a lot more eyes with that Ducati. My heart tells me "get a Ducati!" And my brain says "run away from that unreliable money pit!" If I could only have one bike, it would be the Ninja, just because I know it's never going to let me down, and it is still a riot to rip around on

I got the non-abs. Just depends on your experience and what you want

Thanks! You won't regret getting one 👍

@@bikesandbangs I rode one yesterday back to back with the new cbr600rr. I loved the zx6r more! The engine is incredible and has such a good low and mid range for a 600. Going to put a deposit on one soon.

Awesome!

Thanks man!

@@bikesandbangs you bet. I bought a ZX10R KRT edition a few days ago. I had a Hayabusa…but that bike was just too heavy for my taste. Kawasaki has done a good job with these bikes, listening to some of your content confirms that too.

Nope unfortunately, they are where they are

The naked style bikes are nice because you sit more upright, but this zx6r is actually fairly comfortable for what it is. I just like the supersport position when it comes to the twisties and turns. I just feel more in control of the bike. But there's a million bikes out there and they are all fun in there own way. Let me know what you decide to get! Thanks for the comment 👍

I can check again but I think you push both buttons on it

Thanks Jason! Yes it 100% would 👍

$12,000 on my non-abs with no extended warranty

It's closer than you think, and this 2024 is just so smooth, refined, and predictable. If you've ridden dirt bikes before you're totally fine to start on one of these. Throw it in "rain mode if you want a little less power and tamer throttle response. It will treat you well. Thanks man!

@@bikesandbangs Hell yeah bro I appreciate it!

No on everything sir

@@bikesandbangs dmnnn that's a pity. Do you think you need these things or are they unnecessary and just nice to have?

I wouldn't use any of those even if it had them. Everybody is different though

@@bikesandbangs Appreciate ur help big bro🙌

It does not

And I love my red wheels!!

Awesome man! Haha the more I see the white ones the less I mind the red

Thanks man!

I like next levels 😎

Excellent 👍

You'd miss the torque but you'd like the looks of this and the attention that this one gets more lol and the zx6r does handle better if you like the twisties and getting down in the corners

I loved my 2020 Z900..but, I sold it to get the anniversary zx6r

This will be a nice switch from the r7. Probably feel like a missile lol

Wonder no more 😎

No it won't. You are in control of the throttle on the road. I did a road test on one and it had plenty of low and mid range for casual slower riding.

Yeah I would agree man, very practical changes 👍

Yes, top rpm where it did die out. But not 30 peak hp gains

It will have you smiling ear to ear 👍

@@bikesandbangs I’ve been practicing with 2000 zx6r that my homie has but I’m now wanting the 2024 one, I test rode his new 2024 zx6r since he sold the other one, and instantly liked it and it’s lighter 😂

Did you get it yet? I am thinking of buying it in 6 months, since in Europe you must be 24 to ride powerful bikes. And it would be a first bike as well

Yes sir

Well then the kawi rep told me wrong! I'ma try it on my way home tonight

Yeah wow, that 100% works... Well, shoot. Thanks for letting me know man lol

@@bikesandbangs 🥳👍

The quick Reference guide says that it should be enough if you close the throttle grip completely. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll give it a shot soon. Page57 🏋🏼

Difficult to say. I tried them back to back, and they feel different but are both really good. I prefer the ZX6R I think, but you can't really go wrong.

I tried them back to back and preferred the zx6r. It revved out cleaner, didn't have loads of heat through the seat like the Honda and felt more fun to ride for me.

Yeah u could

How long can I do that for? I order an exhaust going to take like 2weeks to come in

You'll be fine, if you just have the muffler off you could pry ride indefinitely like that. If u have the expansion chamber off as well I wouldn't plan to do that forever, but you should be totally fine for two weeks regardless of your setup 👍

Do you recommend drilling out the YOU KNOW WHAT 🐱and riding it around like that ? Also thanks for your feedback it’s helping me lots

If you're past the break-in period it should be fine, but if your bike only has a few miles on it, I would be hesitant doing anything too crazy with the exhaust or a tune before that 600 mile mark

Haha yes!!!!

Zx6 is far better overall

Yeah I would imagine so

Haha I mean I thought the black was the best but I think most ppl disagree with us

Thanks man! 👍
