  • When I saw the new 636 ZX-6R at Motorcycle Live I was very impressed with the overall look of the bike. Despite being a 600 it looked like a decent size motorcycle for the larger rider. So when Wheels Motorcycles in Peterborough offered me their new demo to try for a couple of weeks I jumped at the chance!
    Massive thanks to Wheels Motorcycles, please check out their website below and let me know what you would like me to try and borrow next!

    They saved money on development 95% of the bike is 6 years old(arguably older since the 13 is largely based off the 09) Very smart on Kawasaki pricing it like they did, finally a significant gap from the 1000's.

      I mean, I bought a 2016 1290 Super Duke R with 4k miles for 2k USD less than the ABS model of this bike. Over double the CC's and more technology. (Other than the quickshifter, but for $250 I could easily install one). In my opinion, the price gap needs to increase further to make a 600 worth it.

    Great review as 600's aren't getting much love for a good while now. Glad Kwak & Yamaha are persevering too. I think it's a real shame the 600 class has gone pear shaped. The 1000's are great but they're too quick & too expensive for most people. I reckon you can probably use about 75% of a 600 most of the time maybe? I wonder if they may have a resurgence in the not too distant future as the 1000's get faster & more expensive. I'm really hoping Suzuki bring out a new GSXR 600/750 at some point too. I would be so tempted if they did. Speaking of Suzuki's, is there any chance you could get yourself on a Katana in the near future for a review Mr Chops?

      Modern 600’s are in no way slow. You still couldn’t find anything like the limits of this on the road unless your looking to get into serious trouble. The gsxr 750 was/is the perfect balance imho. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve ridden the new Honda sp and the Yamaha R1 and they are glorious, just not sure I’d trust myself to keep the licence intact..

      I think this would be lighter by the time you change the exhaust etc. Remember the blade already has a Ti system to make that weight. But yes good point indeed, tough choice.. litre bikes going to cost more to maintain and insure plus fuel costs obviously & really too insanely fast.. Will borrow a blade again from Wheels see how it compares to Blue Thunder 😁

    I bought one, partly due to Chopsy's review. Lots of bike for the money, looks good. What's not to like?
    After a year I can say it's an excellent motorcycle. Engine is very smooth, easy to ride at slow speeds. If you want to go fast you can. It handles like a 'proper' sports bike, not these high bar soft sports bikes that seem to be all the rage now (CBR650, RS660).
    OK, so you wouldn't want to go touring on it, but then it's so cheap you can buy a second bike for that!

      @@leevendyback6129 Ultimately I found my ZX6R to be a frustrating road bike. I used to race(many years ago) and like to feel that I am pushing the limits of the bike, I found this to be virtually impossible on the road. Just one example....there was a lovely S bend on a local road to me. On my SV1000 the first section could be taken at about 90mph with the footrest grazing the tarmac, I felt the bike was being pushed towards it's limits. On the ZX6R the first section could be taken at 110mph without any drama. I felt that I could easily go 10mph quicker and the bike was probably capable of a lot more than that. So 'pushing' the bike was difficult and most of my road riding was a disappointment. This is all about where my head is at, not a criticism of the bike.

    Looks like a fun supersport! Excellent review. It doesn't have the blipper.. how come you don't blip the throttle yourself in that case? It's fun in my opinion. Feels like you're racing, and riding is smoother IMO. Anyways you're significantly more experienced at riding than I am. But one of the first things I taught myself when I bought my first bike the CBR 600 Fri was to rev match. Just became such a strong habit! Never rode a bike with a blipper before, it'd be weird having the bike do it itself. Again loving the channel. Cheers from Wisconsin 🍻

  • @husky701rider9

    Engine break ins are not necessary with modern engines that are machined well within tolerances and many videos have proved my point. I just recommend changing the oil more often in the beginning of an engines life but your still free to ring it out dude.

    • @MattJonesGR9
      @MattJonesGR9 5 років тому

      They are required as the moving parts will need to wear together especially piston rings otherwise you'll get excess oil consumption and less power. No machining process results in a perfect finish.

    • @husky701rider9
      @husky701rider9 5 років тому

      StreetTriple Mat the very first thing the factory does when they finish engine assembly is rev it all the way to redline and flush the oil. Your engine spins at 15k rpm before it’s even mounted in the bike. Any burs or machining flaws are well worn off before you get around to riding it.

    Hi LC 👍🏻 always enjoy the 600cc super sports reviews they seem to be a forgotten bike these days. I’m a massive fan of the 636 imo there great bikes and this 2019 looks like another gem 💎. Ive actually just sold my Daytona 675R and brought a 16 plate Zx10R winter ❄️ edition although ive not actually taken delivery as yet as having a scorpion de cat link pipe and an Arrow pro race titanium exhaust fitted. Also having the ecu flashed to run along with the full titanium exhaust it now has the flash also unlocks the auto blipper on the bike too 👌 so really can’t wait to get my hands on it now!!
