@Michael Tee Fully adjustable suspension still has limitations. No amount of compression adjustments or preload is going to make up for springs that are too soft and may only make handling worse.
Kawasaki did the math, most riders put a aftermarket exhaust and tune on the bike, and if you take it racing, riders put suspension on it. So they give you the best street unmodded at the best price. genius
Hey Adam, you and the rest of the staff have big shoes to fill after the departure of Ari and Zack but you did an absolutely great job on this review. Keep it up!
I thought so too, I think it is a great looking bike, people take time to get used to something new (so many comments saying it's ugly). I bet they said the same about their current favourite models when they were a brand new design.
You can tell he know his supersports. I ride a 2011 ZX6R so I know exactly what he's talking about in his review. Very concise! You had some BIG shoes to fill and you made it happen. Great job!
Even though I do miss Zach and Ari, I have to hand it to Adam, this was a pretty good review. Keep up the good work! Also the new ZX6R is so ugly ahahah
@@officebear4637 I mean Ari and Zach have been making videos for a very long time maybe it's his first time doing a video, I'm sure he will get better over time!
To me this is the best 600 bike you can get. I always go for value-price. And there is no better bike then the Kawasaki. I don`t agree with the most opinion out there that it`s not looking good, to me it`s look stuning. You have to understand the details, the vision of the designer and trully look at it, and then you will see what a beauty this bike is. For me the best looking 600 is Yamaha R6 for sure, then then its come the Kawa. From the old models i really liked Suzana, but not the current one. Honda never really catch my eye, except i think the 2007 onwards model. I think Kawasaki is doing great job lately and i hope they continue doing it and make more of a mass production selling product like they are doing right now. Atleast in my country the price range for R6 is arround 14k. euro, while Kawasaki with ABS is arround 3.5 euro lower, so it`s not even a discussion. With Kawasaki atleast in my eyes you get stunning looking bike(atleast for me i love the design, to me its combine factor of aggressiveness and elegance), yet not the best looking bike in the class, but definetely the best for the money and its by wide margin. You get the most by paying less.
just tested today... i felt in love with this bike. Amazingly not surprised for my first 600 4 cylinder test on road, i'm a twin cylinder lover and torque... but coming from a bmw r 1200 r i was not surprised. And it's managable for the commun mortals contrary to liter bikes i've tested, because i'm not a superbike racer and i want to feel control on it. After 12 years of motorcycle i feel totally capable to evolve, learn and enjoy the 636 on road and for track. I'm waiting to buy mine !
She’s sexy as hell. If I HAD to nit pick about something it’s the front end bodywork is kinda long looking from the side but that’s just on a have to have something to complain about basis. She’s perfect 😍
I gotta say everything about this bike is amazing, just amazing... I'm still a new rider (just a year in) and started out on the kawasaki Ninja 400 and will be upgrading to this beauty in the next two months.. This bike gives a grown man the giggles lol. Kinda like when you were 5 years old and got your favorite toy for Christmas '' Happy Day, Happy Day''... Safe Riding to Everyone..
I'm a big fan of Honda Vtecs too. I bought a Ninja 400 a month ago and love it. Last week I bought a 2019 ZX6R. I plan on keeping both because the 400 is so comfortable and fun. The ZX6R is a beast and I haven't even revved it out yet. Very happy with both.
Always a pleasure, Adam! Keep up the good work. At first i thought the bike looks kinda odd, but im sure it’s gonna be a grower since im starting to see the bike as ‘different’ instead of ‘odd’ haha
Probably already on your list of bikes to test, but if it's not the Kawasaki Z400 needs to be on it. Good work on the review as well. Missing Ari and Zach, but someday I guess we'll be missing you as well Adam!
I got 115 whp, from a full system (no baffle), a race air filter, and dyno tune on a pc5. Not as much as I'd hoped, but removing the whole stock exhaust is definitely worth doing, for the weight savings alone - saves over 15 pounds by removing the stock slip-on and resonator. Overall, it feels good on the street and at the track - best all rounder 600, imo. An ecu flash could unlock another 2-3 hp and increase the rev limiter and top speed, although I don't think it's worth it to void the warranty.
Would this be a good beginner bike ? I just brought a 2018 ninja 650 two weeks ago and thinking about trading it in already for this. I feel like I might get bored of ninja 650.
I was disappointed when the MotoUSA vids stopped coming so it's great to see Adam being featured on MC's UA-cam channel. Looking forward to lots more content with him as the reviewer....how about the new Speed Triple!?
Channel Suggestion: -Superbikes shootout. -Track\Road gear shootout. -Track\Road tires shootout. Welcome to the well-known Adam to a great platform. Best wishes to a good job!
He said it "looks a lot more sleeker". Which is both incorrect from a grammar standpoint and from a looking at the bike standpoint. Ari and Zack.....we miss you.
Have you tested the ZX14R or the Z1000 SX?? I would like to see them tested... I'm looking at purchasing one of those two bikes in the very near future
Is this 2019 and forward Zx6r now made in Thailand instead of Japan? Also would be nice to include some comparisons about how it is to it’s previous generation since the 2019 is the first year for the refresh.
Great job, Adam! I liked that you started with the street review first -- since that is where most sportbikes spend the majority of their time. The dual LED low beams are a very nice update, as well as the boxy snout. Also, that gray colourway with electric blue rim tape is very sleek. Happy to see Kawasaki hasn't given up on the 600cc I4 class yet. I love full sport fairings, but still have something for light touring with a tall windscreen and soft luggage. I am considering this along with the Ninja 1000 for my next bike. One suggestion: I notice you used "good" rather than "well" several times lol.
I am 5'10" @230 lbs... Short inseam at 29"... My wife's bike is a 2016 Kawasaki ZX-6R, and is more then powerful enough for street riding, too many people get hung up on needing a "liter" bike... At 2-3k RPMs you can twist the throttle and leave pretty much any normal "car" with out having to down shift... SO get in to the upper top end of the RPM range, the ZX-6R will leave pretty much any "super car" in its dust... Yeah there are cars out there that can out perform a supersport, BUT those are so rare you may never see one of those on the road... My point is, people get hung up on performance vs street riding all the time... most if not all of the 600cc Supersports are going to be faster then anything else next to it at a light... Yes liter bikes and other larger supersports are going to be faster... BUT 99% of all of the other vehicles you get next to at a light are not going to be an issue as far as out right speed. OH and I ride a 2005 Triumph Daytona 650... damn thing is a beast at 150ish WHP (with work done to it)... I know you can get well over 200hp with the newest liter bikes... and I have owned a ZX-14 (fully moded)... well over 240WHP when done... BUT the larger heavier bikes, to me are just not an fun to ride... YES faster, but not more fun....
This is probably the best bike to get if you are new to riding and are serious about sport bikes and learning about racing. Once you’ve mastered handling the corners and have good experience (about 2-3 years) then upgrade to a 1,000cc. I personally wouldn’t recommend an R6 until AFTER you have experienced a 1,000cc, as an R6 is a pure race bike. Just my honest opinion. Ride safe all and good luck!!
Youll like the s21. Sticky tires that warm up fairly quick. I've done three track days and few thousand miles commuting. Rear tire barely flat spotting. The multicompound tread is the shiznit..
Ahh Duu yeah I like the S21 so far. Stock S20 rear only lasted 2800 mikes in my XSR900 LOL. S21 already seems to be wearing better already after a few hundred miles.
The only real complaint I’m seeing from consumers is about the looks, which is subjective. Looking at what you get for the money the new zx6r is definitely a bargain. Lowering the price of this bike and adding some additional features such as a quick shifter and LED’s may spark some life back into the middleweight class. Changing the final drive and the 2013 change to the 636cc engine makes this bike much more street friendly. Being that the number one complaint about 600’s is lack of low end torque, this shows me that Kawasaki makes an honest and consistent effort to listen to their customers which I definitely appreciate.
Hi there i have one question for you,why you dont make video about reducing hp from 600cc supersport motorcycle from 120hp to 50hp and what companies are doing that. Some people would buy 600cc LAMS supersport.Thanks
The looks of this bike just lets me a bit down, it looks more like a low-end 3/400 with a little more engine than a real “old style” supersport. Comparing it for instance with a 10 yo 636 is a disappointment, the old banger is way more appealing. I also bet that a 10yo Kawa with 2/3.000$ of suspension/brake/tyres upgrades would be as fast as this cheap plastic new toy. They are totally killing the 600cc sportbike class.
agreed, it's like they are deliberately trying to end off the 600 class all together, one new ugly and stupid bike at a time. To this point, only the R6 is still trying to keep the class going. The old 600RR from Honda was a turd on wheels, and the new Kawa looks a decade old, cheap, and more or less just a beefy 400.. I have high hopes for Aprilia with their potential 660RS to liven things up a bit
They are not killing the 600cc class. If you do any research and understand basic economics, than you would realize its not worth the investment by kawasaki for the bike. Why spend so much money on R&D when nobody buys them. In fact yamaha and kawasaki are keeping the 600cc class ship from sinking. I am an engineer and cost is a big factor when designing. Naked bikes and superbikes are the name of the game now. In terms of the sport class.

You know you're a sportbike rider when you describe low-end as being 7-8,000rpm.
Hahaha, true that!

Great job; similar informative style to the previous hosts which is great. I can see this host (with the right co-host) settling into the show nicely.

Good review! In future reviews I think it'd be helpful to specifically mention how they compare to other bikes in the class
Just bought one. 2019 with 5300 miles. So excited
Came here after watching the R7 review. I'm getting this Kawasaki as soon as I have the money.
Adam on Motorcycle Magazine! AWESOME!!!!!!!
I love the styling
Miss Ari and Zach. Good review though, it will keep me coming back. Love to see you guys do a head up of a Yamaha Stryker/Honda Fury.

Beautiful bike
Good one Adam 👍🏽
Ninja 500 was my first bike, always a Kawasaki fan
Good review 👍 much appreciated...

Great job
I think this dude worked with every single magazine out there
I am gonna get this bike !

I think this is the first time I've heard somebody down talk 115 hp.
I got 115 whp, from a full system (no baffle), a race air filter, and dyno tune on a pc5. Not as much as I'd hoped, but removing the whole stock exhaust is definitely worth doing, for the weight savings alone - saves over 15 pounds by removing the stock slip-on and resonator.

Good job on the review. Could we possibly see a review on the aprilia 690 I think I’m not sure but I know it’s a middle weight.
The previous model was dope looking, just like it's elder brother zx10r.
The 636 is the only 600 worth getting since it’s so unpleasant to have 45 lb ft torque
