The Last of a Dying Breed? 2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R Track Review 

I have a bad rotator. The z900rs is a great ergo retro seat. I just can't hold on !! Ha

So it has already quickshifter by default yes ?

First time rider here and had my 2023 ZX6R delivered on 12.23.23 Love it.

I am interested to know about maintenance cost for 2024 ZX 6R

I have decided to go for the 6R as my first bike. Is my decision right?

@@mohammadzubair5456just be disciplined on your throttle bro , you’ll be fine

I have the R7, and I can attest, it’s a nice little joke in the bike world.

I have a R7, best joke I have every ridden. Bigger even than the joke that is lack of R6 sales. Yet R7 has been a sales success for Yamaha. Sorry for your butthurt 😂

@@101BadBreathlol the R6 lacks sales because it’s been discontinued for street usage. I have nothing against the R7 but it doesn’t even compete with 600s. There’s a reason why used R6s with thousands of miles sell for more than the R7

@@ryanb6614 R7 was never meant to compete with a R6, Yamaha even said this. The R6 AND other supersports have been in sales decline for a long time, long before R6 discontinued for street... I am sure you have not been living under a rock so you should know this.

Ride anything else but yamaha.

sometimes the line between a sale pitch and consumer advice can be blurry when there is not much of anything bad to say about a machine, but i get what you mean.

He’s reviewing a bike lol…

The ZX6R can't keep up with a Triumph 765RS on track, even less on the road

@@brunocarmona4958 I would have cared if Triumph still sold the Daytona, bought one new 2013 and loved it, sold it 4 years later sadly for a literbike. I want back in to 600's and this is the only bike i feel comes close in terms of performance to the original Daytona. They're both great bikes , not feeling the upright position of the streettriple 765 RS though despite that bike being a smidge faster (wich doesn't really matter, i have a ZX10R now that's way faster than both) I want something less mental and this fits the bill.

If actually want to become a good rider you’ll start on a smaller bike like a ninja 400. Don’t fool yourself. Or if straight lines is your thing get a liter bike

400 is great even for experienced riders

If you’re a beginner start on a 300-400. Year or 2 later, or when you’re comfortable get a 600

@@ryanb6614 regardless of what you think, a ninja 400 is great for even experienced riders

Seriously I'm just came here to ask the same question? 😂 and does it comes with up and down...?

just up

Easy enough to buy aftermarket .not an issue. Or see dealer options manual. Oem .

lol

I heard the new models lag slightly when using the quick shifter but tunes can fix that easy

Zero tech on ninja 400 or R7 will teach actual skills one can carry forward

Kinda limits the top end, but u can have it fixed with an Ecu flash and (even better) with a flash AND a full exhaust

@@kalelfer5491 so with the ecu flash and a full exhaust would you consider this bike better then previous gen models??

Yeah disappointed that not heard anything about the R9 at Milan this November.

They didn't make a 636cc zx6r from 2007-2013. The 07/08 zx6r lost around 10-15 rwhp from the 05/06 zx6r. 05/06 zx6r 636 also make about 20 more rwhp then any other 2007/2008 600 class bike. Every 600 class bike redlines at around the 13000-14500 rpm mark from 2003 to present day. Manufacturers didn't lower the level of rpm for emission regulations, they limited power by changing the ecu mapping, controlling how open the throttle body position is. Even though your wrist is fully twisted at higher rpm the ecu tells the throttle body to only open 70% or what ever the manufacturer has decided. This can be fairly easy to negate by getting an ecu flash. They are making crazy power gains after a simple ecu flash with most new era bikes. The new zx10r can make over 30hp with just an ecu flash, which is insane.

Naked are lower cost to produce...

At least in Australia zx10 is an extra 10k. CBR 600RR is cost of a zx10 here

@@leftspeaker2000 the RRP of the 600RR here is really insane, AND we can only get the LAMS detuned 650 - Honda really shot themselves in the foot there. Currently tossing up between a ZX-4RR and 6R, currently leaning towards the 4 because that decision might save my life and license, haha

650s aren’t as powerful as 600s or 636. For the prices I’d recommend the zx6 no point in the zx4 it’s basically the same price

You see, I'm looking for a "slower" bike But I've made up my mind, the 2024 black cbr650r is what I'm getting@@ryanb6614

Dude, honda hasn't released a new one since 2013...........doesn't really seem like "heart pouring"

@@tox5543 tf? Honda made a whole new 600 like 2 years ago

I only care about what makes it to freedom land 💯 😌

Restricted by emissions

You actually gain more HP than the previous gen once you tune it

@@mavricxx okay

@@mavricxx Really? aren't 2024's rpm restricted compared to the 2023?

Only available in select countries. In Australia and many other oceanic countries only the KRT (green) version is available

Reliability left the chat😂😂😂😂

​@@vigilant.Actually, it looks like they sorted out their oil leak problems, turns out they're pretty reliable nowadays, not on the same level as a japanese bike, but those are unbreakable anyways.

I mean they even launch bikes that have a major engine issues that they know about...😅

Actually naked bikes are outselling sport bikes in the U.S. in the last few years.

Completely false

I prolly just grab a GSX750R in America over both of these
