This video deserves so so much more views, cant believe I haven’t seen it yet with how much I’ve researched. I’m looking at getting a 2020 cbr600 in a few months
Your body type and experiences are unique to you yet i appreciate taking the time to post matey, there's still areas that you pointed to that are good places to start in getting to know your own bike.
Kawis have linear power as same as the hondas that's one of the biggest reassons why they are the number one stunt bikes if you try kawis probabli they are beatten and not Well maintened that's why you had bad feedback from the 636 but if It's well maintened It has no issue I personally own a 03 to 04 one and Im in love with It great information by the way keep the hard work
The 2006-7 GSXR'S have a lot of electrical issues. On the 2008-9-10 the front light was changed on those years and they look nice What really gets me is that the prices in all of them manufacturers are just about the price of a new one. If you good mechanical go for it...and be happy with what you get. Am doing research in different years on the 600's...that's plenty of power. Am new in the riding adventures and just try to buy the proper bike ...but then again nothing is proper. And the saga continues... I watched your video for the length of time...got my popcorn 🍿, my drink, hotdog and my notebook to get more info to learn about different brands. Safe riding Much blessings 🙌 Ty for the video. 🏍🏍🏍😎😎😎💪💪💪
I've had an 06 gsxr 750 and an 05 zx6r and I feel like the zx6r is my favorite honestly because the power band was smooth and user friendly and it felt way lighter in the corners. Felt like the gsxr 750 was way more snatchy but just keep in mind neither of my bikes had stock gearing. The 750 did feel a lot more stable tho because of the built in steering dampener. I liked both of them very much but the kawi was definitely less reliable lmao.
Thanks for taking so much time to be detailed on so many issues. Im looking to start riding (MSF in 1 month) and don’t have a bike yet. You brought up issues I would not have thought to consider. 👍🏾
Had a cbr600 for 4 years, now have a gsxr600 for over 2 years, gsxr maintenance is easier to work on, it has a slipper clutch with less engine breaking, its more comfortable on longer rides. I just thought the cbr looked better, sounded better, and handled slightly better. Rode a zx6r, awesome power band, but didn't like the breaks and it doesn't come with a steering damper, and my back and wrist was killing me within 30 minutes. I know all about the gsxr750, but the 600s power and better agility is all I'll ever need.
So that's why my engine braking is so hard, the 07 CBR is my first step into the super sport world so I've just assumed everything is a superr sport thing. I have noticed she can SNAP pretty hard if I give it too much throttle and pop the clutch. Definitely see how people can clutch up so easy on these things!
Boy I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone trash a Kawasaki as bad as you. I’ve been reading and listening to reviews of the 600’class sportbikes since 2005 and most put the Suzuki and Honda at the bottom of the list. Me and my son both have Kawasaki ZX6R’s, his is an 05’ and mine an 07’. We both bought them second hand, his with 21,000 miles and mine with 4900. Neither one has had a single issue in our ownership. I’ve been riding bike for 58 years and think every thing you said in regards to clutch, transmission and brake feel is ludicrous. I’m a satisfied Kawasaki owner. Matter of fact is, I got a 45 year old Kawasaki Z1 that is still running strong.
Love your dedication and research buddy. I did watch from 0.00 till full end. Thank you for the info and respect your work. I still love my honda cbr 600 and glad is decent on your list. Honda does have their stuff together.
I thought gsxr 600 would be best but after hearing the bad clutch, its doesnt seems so good anymore. kawasaki seems to have most issues. R6 looks great but uncomfortable seating positions and 0 power at low revs doesnt make it the best choice for daily driver. So that leaves honda. The only real problem with them is that they are bit rarer, but can still find them. Honda's always been known for their reliabality. I guess its the best 600 imo then.
I can say this now I got the Kawasaki zx6r 2006 and a Yamaha r6 2008 and everyone moans about how uncomfortable the Yamaha is but I’m not sure why but my wrists hurt more on the Kawasaki and I’m 5”9 and the Yamaha is taller but doesn’t hurt my wrists as much also this thing about the electronics over heating with the under tail exhaust iv had my kawasaki since 2012 and never had a problem with it no leaks no electrical faults or any of these things your pointing out it’s a solid bike as for the Yamaha I can’t really say because iv only had it for a year so no known faults from me just yet but I will agree the fairings are annoying to take off and the spark plugs are pretty hard to get to
the kawaks no lackers. look at the torque figures. I've had all 4 brands and what Kawasaki miss in finesse they make up for in brute power. Ride really nicely too.
My question is where you find fairings for 200 dollars? everywhere I look is about 400-500 USD. Also, in 2008 Suzuki fixed the rectifier issue for those wondering. If you have a 2005-2007 GSXR600 dont just replace the rectifier cause it will fail again, you need to get the relocation kit
Hey man! I just sold my first bike Suzuki 650F. Looking for a 600cc either one of these 4 or a daytona 675. I've only been riding street bikes for 2 months. I see comments saying Hondas and Kawi have the most linear which are the more forgiving? I know i have to respect the machine but as someone with not alot of experience i'd rather have a more forgiving bike. Also, I'm looking in the 2008+ range, are there any 600cc bikes that have a/b modes? I would feel alot more comfortable starting on a B mode. Thanks!!
Thanks for this effort but you got lot of things wrong here !! I’ve wathed tons of videos comparing the 600s class by many champs and professionals riders from the UK and the US , and they all agreed that zx6r is the more friendly and smoother on the more comfortable on the street than any other class ever existed , and that the R6 is the best in track
Very interested video thank you so much I'm thinking of buying a use bike and was confused about which one to buy kawasaki never in mind just don't like them
I’ve always felt that the cbr has lacked in every category, only thing it’s kinda decent at is comfort, even in the corners it doesn’t feel as good as the other 3, overall the R6/zx6 is your best go to’s
Idk Honda is underperforming but over engineered. I think if you don't want to work on your own bike it's the only way to go. The reason there's never much aftermarket support for Honda? Honda owners don't replace anything! Ultimately the ride feels boring compared to others in class, and I personally would never own one, but I believe it comes down to what you want. You can't buy a reliable zx, so you have to choose what you want to compromise on.
Great video! I watched the whole thing and I can say that you have put a lot of effort which I appreciate! Keep up with the good reviews and comparisons!
IMO...Honda feels tighter when you throw it around in the corners, and that is VERY important. Suzuki just doesn’t feel like it’s well made. Been riding 2012 cbr600rr w/ 39k miles, then rode my buddies brand new gsxr600...feels loose, difficult to explain. Like baron said, roll on the throttle hard on the gsxr and that loose feeling becomes apparent, very sketchy. Can’t speak on Yamaha/ninja.
I'm looking at a Honda cbr600rr 2019 with 800 miles on it for ten grand. now another guy with a 2021 called me and he is selling his for 9 grand but it has 4500 miles on it. Which bike should I get? Are miles really important or are they both low enough I don't have to worrie about it?
@@thegoldbarron9504 well, i agree but to me i love my z800 so much , and i love yamaha r6 2017, not the new one , i hate the design i like r6 2008-2017 models and design love kawi and yammy...peace
Comfort is different for everybody. For ex, the nakedbikes are bad for my shoulders... I rode a 1998 srad and was tad too big a reach for me, but gave me the comfort and support i need on the track cause of physical issues. I drove my mates 09 r6 on track and was hell to me. Clipons seem lower than the seat is, i literally thought going over the bars every time i used the brakes. So i m going for a new gsxr instead of an r6, cause gixxers have lower seat heights AND clipons def higher than the seat.
they are beast with non squid riders. exhaust, filter and mr12 is 120+ whp on the dyno. honestly with these 600s its all about the set up. a correct set up (gearing, tune, rider weight, other mods like ceramic wheel bearings, rotor delete, lighter battery etc) will absolutely gap non set up bikes that just have an exhaust and random flash
Yep.. he was a bit positive bias about Suzuki and negative about Kawasaki, I really don't know how he got Suzuki in first even after mentioning all the problems they have, even when clearly shown the list of problems still got a better rating from him than Kawasaki 😂, but still a good overview though.
@The Gold Barron - Bro...Just finished this video from beg-end. 5-star review bro. Can you give me some advice on: Currently have a 2012 cbr600rr (28k miles), no issues, service on time, oil change. But after 28k miles, CBR just doesn't feel fun - mediocre power low-mid, feels heavy, & not as nimble turning/carving. However, bike/engine does feel tight if I'm pushing on highway which makes me feel safer, i guess. I'm thinking about a switch to a new 2019-2020 GSXR600. You said it might be a good overall new bike. Questions: 1. Is the new GSXR600 reliable (I don't really know how to work on bikes other than oil change and chain work. I do all my service at dealer)? 2. Does the engine feel tight like the Honda at high speeds? I think you brought up the issue of the engine feeling loose, can you explain? I think a bike would feel dangerous if the engine feels loose. Is this the case with gsxr600? I see in some videos, riders say Suzuki has superior engines? 3. Does the handle bars vibrate when riding, and is that normal? I hear people say the bars vibrate. My Honda doesn't have any issues, just feels heavy and not nimble. Any other potential negatives I should be aware of, and do you think I should make the switch? Thanks bro!
@@thegoldbarron9504 Thanks much for the insight!!! Yea definately alot of noise from those who only have 4-5k miles (seat time) and have been riding for 5 years lol. I have a great offer on a brand new 2019 gsxr600 for 6600 (not including fees), thats the only reason why I'm considering the switch. Sell old bike and get a new bike and maybe pay the difference of 1500-2500 (i hope). Am I being rational rational here about possibly making the switch? Also, will I regret not getting the 750 if I go with the 600? Is the difference night and day on 750 vs 600 (gsxr)? Will the 750 feel heavier than the 600? Lastly, would you buy a new gsxr600 or a used 750 with low miles from dealer? Thanks Gold!!!
Direi senz'altro il Kawasaki Ninja 636, io ho avuto il 2005 140cv e andava perfetto, esssndo 636 andava anke in basso, poi in alto era una FUCILATA!!! Me lhanno rubato in box dp 13 mesi ke l avevo, ho perso solo 400 euro da qlo ke lho pagata, 9000 euro con monoposto e portatarga, mi è dispiaciuto tanto anke se ho preso dall assicurazione 8600 euro e ho preso un Suzuki GSXR1000 del 2005, mi piaceva abbastanza, anke se nei cambi di direzione veloce nn era il massimo, molto meglio l R1 ke ho preso dp cn cui ho fatto un incidente mortale, morto 3 volte, 2 mesi e mezzo in coma, 16 costole rotte, le clavicole e un gomito, ora ho un Kawasaki Ninja 10R anno 2011 ke mi piace tantissimo e x pista nn targata ho un Suzuki GSXR 750 2008 e va molto bene, con scarico completo Ackrapovic centralina e filtro 172 cv, se cmq trovassi una R6 dal 2007 in poi, quindi gia qla piccola, x pista la prenderei, in strada ti fa incazzare un sacco xke sotto nn ha VERAMENTE nulla ma in alto è fortissima, in pista, lho provata a Misano ed è fantastica!!!
