    Update: I got the suspension professionally tuned....omfg!!! What a difference! It is not the same bike! It turns sooooo much sharper and the bike just goes on the freeway. Right when u think things couldn't get any better....they do lol. I really really reAlly need to do a track day now. Ill probably do another video when I log some more miles.

    • @M4miata
      @M4miata  10 років тому +1

      +Taylor Livingston fore real!!! I agree 100%! I rode a 2016 Ducati 899, 2016 BMW s1000rr (fast!!!), 2014 R1, 2015 R6, 2012 675, 2007 GSXR 750 and a 2006 CBR 600rr.
      The 2014 636 is still my favorite bike!!! Its great for the commute and the track. It really is a perfect bike! I even beat the R1 and the 899 in a drag race lol! Go 636!!!! lol
      I even taught my buddy how to ride a motorcycle on it lol. I there anything this bike cant do?!?!?!
      1.5 years and 18,000 miles later I have had zero problems and I have been beating the crap out this bike. Track days, and commute in heavy California traffic every day.
      Kawasaki has done the impossible. lol

      It is a great 1st bike. Over 2.5 years of riding it and I am still not bored of the bike. Make sure you go at your own pace.....this bike can fuck you up if you ride outside your limits (trust me I know). But this bike can also take one hell of a beating! +25k miles on her and still going strong!

    Kawasaki needs to build it in red same goes for the 650R and 300. The color schemes are terrible but not as bad as Honda. I think Suzuki makes the best color schemes but that front headlight be killing me!

    • @M4miata
      @M4miata  9 років тому

      Rene G. Solis I not a big fan of red bikes and I love green. But More colors would be nice! I love Honda's Repsol bikes! :D
      I almost got a gsxr 600 cuz it was sooooo cheap but....I agree with you that head light was just nasty!
      And the 636 had good looks, nice color, great engine and cheap to maintain (Japanese bike). Plus TC and ABS are not needed for a 600 but it was nice to have for a 1st bike.

    I see you have experience riding before getting the 636.Can a pure beginner start on this bike using the low power mode ? not sure if there's a big different between the F and L mode ..

    • @M4miata
      @M4miata  9 років тому +3

      desmond leow
      Before buying my 2014 636 I had about 12 hours of riding
      exp. 7 hours of which was on a 2006 636. I felt very comfortable on the 636 and
      was smart enough to control my throttle hand.If you feel you can control your need for speed and ride at
      your own pace (even in a group ride) then the new 636 is a great bike!
      In full power mode the bike make around 130HP to the flywheel
      at Low power mode it make 80% of that power. Therefor 130 x 80% = 104HP at the engine. For reference the Suzuki sv650 makes 74HP and the ninja 300 makes around 35HP. So even in low mode it still has more than enough power to put you on your ass!
      But what I did was keep in it level 3 traction control mode for
      about a month. Level 3 TC cut in way before I got into trouble or I even thought
      about doing something reckless.
      Base line, if you love the 636 and it’s the bike you really
      want and you are not breaking the bank then get the bike that makes have a raging
      hard on for it every time you ride it!
      Good luck!

    It's such a great thing that you respect the bike considering like you stated you haven't spent so much time on it. You know most of the time people get a powerful bike like this and just take off and wreck it or something haha. It really makes me happy seeing a video like this, especially since thing is my ultimate dream bike as well. Sure I'm only 15 but I know what I want when I'm older. It's also great that I'm the same height as you and almost the same weight so I can put those factors in too, huh, even if I'm a girl lol. Thanks for the video man and respect that beauty!

    • @M4miata
      @M4miata  9 років тому

      Jacilyn Dough Thank you very much Jacilyn. Yes, you gotta respect this bikes people forget how much power they have. Most 600s can do the 1/4 mile in less than 11sec...that's faster than most supercars that cost over $200,000!
      Also I have seen tooooooo many people crash on the street from not respecting the bike and the bike fucked them up for it!!!!
      The 636 is a good dream bike to have! I saw this bike back in high school in 2006 and told myself I am getting this bike when I am done with college!!! 8 years later I got it! lol Hold on to your dream and don't let anyone talk you out of it! Its quite an awesome feeling to ride something you worked 8 years for!
      Here is a link to a track day I did last month on your dream bike! She was amazing and fast!!!!!!! At then end of the vid you can hear me scream like a little girl (no offence lol) because I dragged knee for the 1st time! CHeers!ua-cam.com/video/19l_BAql2sY/v-deo.html

    I’m a brand new rider and am think I need a ninja 650 but want something I can grow into so I’m slightly think of the ZX6R. I’m 39 years old so I’m over the fact of going fast simply for the sake of it. Maybe a twist of the throttle here or there but I think I’ll be a pretty tame rider in general. Your thoughts?

    Yo I got a question? I'm 5'5 about 190 and I was wondering if your feet touch the ground on that bike. I'm very interested in getting the ninja zx6r 636 but not sure if my feet will touch the ground lol. So how does that work?

      So I am 5’5’’ about 135lbs and the balls on of my feet touch the ground
      where as the R6 I was on the tips of my toe nails lol If u need more of your foot on the ground then an easy
      fix is to shave some of the seat material. You can take the seat off and take
      it to a bike shop and have them take off some seat material it really makes a
      difference. My buddy with a 2013 636 did it and I was almost flat foot. Hope this helps!

      M4miata "he 636 has power modes and u can drop the power to something similar to the 300." This is wrong. The lowest power mode makes it so that the bike has 80% of it's regular power and that's off the top end. Still just under 3X more HP than the 300

      Why are you waiting for 2016? I don’t think Kawasaki is going to update the ZX6r anytime soon. It’s the most advanced 600 sport bike on the market. It has ABS, TC and power modes….most 600s don’t even got ABS yet lol

    Great vid ,i was going to get a 300 but sense watching your vid i change my mind.Im 5.6 and i started on a dirt bike i brought from my local pawn shop.i've sat on a honda cbr 600,suzuki and a r6 the honda was the most comfort.im kind of a noob myself.my question is when does the friction start to kick in on the cluch travel.

    • @M4miata
      @M4miata  10 років тому

      Thanks Liquid! Have you sat on the a new zx6r 636? I am shorter than you and they feel amazing to me!!! Kawasaki design this bike more for the street than the track. In saying that, the clutch is the lightest of the japanese 600s. Dont believe me go to the dealer and feel the clutch...its almost like a small bike clutch. It also engages really early (maybe 2.5-3cm pull distance). The light clutch feel and the early engagement make it very suitable for daily riding. My clutch hand never gets tired in California traffic. Again I encourage you to go to the dealer and check one out. Also you have more riding experience than me and like I said in the vid I feel very comfortable with the bike and the power. I also met a couple of guys in my area who got the 300 but after a few weeks they wanted a bigger bike and since they financed it for two years they were kinda stuck with it. Get whatever bike makes you happy and whatever you can afford! Cheers! and Good luck!

      @M4miata  10 років тому +1

      liquid4304 WTH type of dealer is that!?!? That is what the kick stand is for! Anyway try to go to another dealer and sit on it. I am not flat footing my bike or the cbr, I am on the balls of my feet. But I still feel in control of the bike. Now the R6 I cant move the bike back while I am on it cuz it is sooo tall Lol just do your hw before you buy. Honda OEM parts and labor can be a little higher than Suzuki Kawasaki and Yamaha. At least in my area. Also with the cbr you wont get the extra mid range and traction control. I believe the cbr has the lowest hp out all the Japanese 600s. But it is a well balanced bike. Good luck!

      @dale3322 10 років тому

      Its best to take an MSF course if you have never rode, the things you learn in that course will really help you when you start riding. As for your height, thats weird because I am 5'8 and my feet touch the ground when I'm on my 09' zx6r. If you get a 600 that you like but its still a bit too tall for you, you can always have the dealership install some lowering links on the bike to lower the seat height.

      I will definitely take the MSF first. most of my foot can touch the ground when I sat on GSXR and CBR, just not ZX6R and R6. When I sat on it I was kind of overwhelmed by the size and weight I was sitting on. Even the throttle and the clutch feels tighter than I expected. Will the 3 day MSF course be enough to guide me through how to ride a sportbike? at least in the safety aspect

    • @M4miata
      @M4miata  10 років тому

      I am 5'5'' I could not even push the R6 backwards while sitting on it on the showroom floor....therefor too short. Now for a track bike I will never need to push it back so I could totally ride an R6 for a track bike. Yes my first bike I rode/learned to ride on was a 06 636. It was great! I loved it. It made me get the 2014 636. If you feel that you can control yourself, more importantly your throttle hand, and you can resist showing off to your friends by doing wheelies and riding fast within a few weeks of riding then YES get the 600! It is honestly not as bad as everyone makes it seems. I know many girls who started on their Gixxer 600 and R6 and they love it! SO I say get whatever the FUCK makes you happy bro! GOOOOOOOOD LUCK! And always wear your gear!

    • @dale3322
      @dale3322 10 років тому +1

      LID3439 Yeah I think the MSF course is enough dude. Personally I had no prior motorcycle experience before taking the MSF course. However I had ridden atv's since I was 12.... so from an early age I learned how to shift my weight and respect the machine.
      The MSF course is great but when I finally got my zx6r home the first day or so was a bit scary because in the MSF course you will most likely learn on a cruiser style bike, whereas on a sportbike your feet are located much futher back and your stance is much different. This takes some getting used to but once you get used to it, its not a problem.
      You'll be fine on a 600, my brother and friend both started on 750 Gixxer's lol. Just wear your gear and please take your time getting used to the bike. It WILL put you on your ass if you don't respect it. Just watch the throttle and if you can ride with someone who has been riding for awhile do so....I rode with my brother a lot when I started to gain confidence and this is how I confident enough to ride on city streets with cars. If you have any questions definitely hit me up dude!! Good Luck!!

That can is a different kind of Fast!! TRUST ME! It will put a bigger grin on you face then the 636 can in certain situations. Ask anything you want to know. I look forward to it! P/S mind is the same Green just from 2013 w/ ABS and I have nearly 14,000 miles on it in less then 1.5 years of owning it.

      D Raymond That is awesome bro! I will let you know if I have any questions. And Damn 14k miles in 1.5 years that’s pretty damn good! I am at 8k in 6 months! Also you are right about the 300 but, I will have to ride the 300 to get a full understanding of it. I got my ass handled to me by a ninja 250 on the track so I can image a 300 lol But I love the perfect balance of power and nimbleness of our bikes. Also get your ECU flashed it will make a biiiiiig difference in power and response plus it was just $100. I did a vid review of it ua-cam.com/video/ZJokcvycw_4/v-deo.html

    • @redneckon2wheels529
      @redneckon2wheels529 10 років тому

      If you just want to ride on the rode and you do a lot of highway riding a 250 might not be a good option anyone can start on a modern 600 with traction control and abs you can jam the brakes the wheels won't lock up and can give it to much gas in the corners you won't low side because of traction control maybe a modern day 600 is the perfect beginner bike I race 2 stroke 125cc and I can pas people on 600 or even 1000 in corners but once we hit a straight away I get dusted
