      Bought my 1987 Honda CBR1000F Hurricane New for $9,999.00. It lasted me 30 years, just sold it, one year ago Sunday. Kid I sold it too tried biting off more than he could chew, hasn't run since.

    I own a 2005 kawi zx6r 636. I have about 30 -35 thousand km on it and she is still a beast. I bought it brand new 0km on it and raced it in a couple different circuits and stood on the podium a few times. I shaved almost 50lbs making the curb weight wet under 350lbs. I've at some performance parts a recommended by Kawasaki factory race team. Also gone 1 tooth down on front and 2 up on the back. I get 3rd gear wheelies at about 130km. Against 1000s of same era I would put money on my beast of a ninja

    Awesome features added and am happy about. But then just as you rightly said, the older looks more aggressively and I would combine the older looks with the tail and the new features added on. Then it would be a bike to die for. But then again, still worth having.

    HeroRR is my favorite motorcycle vlogger. He’s one of the very few vloggers that very rarely strays from the topic of his videos and gives well researched, accurate and relevant information about the topic. I’ve unsubscribed from many other vloggers because they spend half the video talking about irrelevant information about their personal life. It’s frustrating.

  • @screennamenottaken2

    I went to a bike shop recently mainly to check out a 2017 GSXR1000 but the new Ninja zx6r sitting next to it caught my attention. I was happy to see it still have the increasingly “older” style gauge cluster with the analog tach. I actually asked the salesman if any of the gsxr1000’s still come with an analog tach. For the life of me I don’t understand why everyone seems to want the all digital screens on bikes now. Give me analog any day. A redundant smaller screen is fine, or as they did with the H2SXSE, but the manufacturers should make the style of gauge cluster an option at least if at all feasible. Not everyone wants to ride a smartphone, I prefer that needle moving.

      It´s not like you can just do an update and get ABS. But I´d say it´s defenetly worth getting, on the Street ABS can save your ass.

    Was lucky enough to pick up a brand new 2016 Kawasaki ZX-6R ABS KRT edition back in June of 2018, for $9800 out the door. Local dealership received one as a long awaited back order BUT the original buyer backed out of the deal... SO I was able to snag it for a good price and the fact that the bike was never registered was a great bonus. Makes me the first "owner" of the bike... So far this model that I own is my favorite of the Kawasaki ZX-6Rs... the fact that it has the better 636 engine, and the improved performance from the last generation... PLUS the bike looks amazing in its KRT colors... SO I am really glad I purchased this one, and NOT waited for the new model, as seeing it now, I am NOT a huge fan of the looks.

    All I hear from pretty much everyone who ridden it, that the engine is freaking good even on streed. Good low to mid range torque (for a 600 supersport). I think this engine would be an awesome base for a middle weight sport tourer. I know that Kawasaki already has the 650 Ninja, but personally I prefer the in line 4 engines. If I want that in the middle weight, there is no choice but go for the Honda CBR 650R (and I only mean this for new bikes). Sadly I don't think that would happen even though Kawasaki capable doing some interesting thinks like the H2 line and the ZX25R.

    And to the people who say its ugly... maybe if the 400 didnt exist you might have liked it as you wouldnt feel like people will confuse u for riding a 400...

    i think the standard dash from all the kawas at the moment very nice.
    tft's are disgusting.
    and i too like the older nose, compared to this one

      Dude the Ninja 400 looks amazing for being a smaller displacement bike.. Have you seen one in person? Parked right next to a super sport they still look great.
      I get that people don't want it to look like a smaller bike but if the 400 didn't exist everyone would be going crazy about how good the new 636 looks.
      The LED headlights look really good at night.

      SUZUKI GSXR i agree it looks terrible and i hate how it looks like a sport bike but with a more of an upright body position. It’s like watching porn and it zooms in on the guys ass. An instant turn off.

      They're trying to copy the Ninja H2 looks too much. It doesn't look aggressive at all IMO. And the gap between the fairings and the front is enormous looking. Overall I don't like the looks of the bike. And thus, could not see myself purchasing one of these bikes. I ride a gsxr 600 btw for the trolls.

      I agree the zx6r color and body dont look the best but that tech for the price is nice. I'm split between the zx6r and R6 for next bike in a couple of years.

    It’s true I’m glad kawasaki started it. They know what consumers want.
