I got the 2023 gsxs after the gsxr 600, like you it hurt my back and wrists after an hour or so and im 38. I absolutley love the bike. Stick her in A mode and let it rip. Ive got a pro race slip on with the baffle out and the sound is day and night diffrence, sounds brutal and pops and bangs 👌 subscribed 👍
Im in the same boat as you man. Had my 202 ZX6R KRT for 2 years but decided it was time for a change. Sold it and got a 2023 XSR 900. My god is it so much better than the ZX in soooo many ways. I dont feel like riding is a chore anymore and it's still plenty fun. Also, after riding a sport bike, riding a naked bike with proper handle bars feels SOOO much easier to whip into tight corners and maneuver on tight streets. I'll still miss the inline 4 scream, no doubt about it, and the looks too. But the ZX is one of those things that seems good in theory (fast, good looking, amazing sounding), but not that good in practicality I guess. Nonetheless, I'm happy with the time that I had with my ZX and the XSR has made me realize that theres a whole other world of motorcycles out there besides crotch rockets. Congrats on your purchase !
@@bigslimshady98 Congrats man! Yeah I felt like I couldn’t ride too far with the ZX6R because I would be hurting. Now I’m exploring all over the place! The sound of the Zx6r was the best part, but not worth my body hurting for a week after one day of riding.
@bigslimshady98 bout to hit 30 I'll let you guys know when the back says no more lol I ride a 21 zx6r 120 miles round trip to work and home occasionally.
@@JagMoto636 the 6r is quite a bike but not for daily use as it's a track focused bike, no regrets. Enjoy your new ride and explore more 😉 happy riding 😀 . But honestly man i miss your 6r
Big question for u man, I have smaller brother gsx 8S, and I love everything about it, only this wind on speeds after 85+ I hate it, how you feel about it?
@@JagMoto636 same deal, but for nice roads I need 10-15 min highways anyways, wind it’s only 1 bad thing on naked , I almost ride 150-250m everyday , but I still want to try something with windshield, only what in my radar , it’s this new middleweight sport class gsx8r,Daytona 660, aprilia rs 660 , 8R same bike as my 8S and it’s stupid change for same bike, RS660 a lot of guys complaining about oil leaking and bla bla bla, Daytona 660 looks cool 10 ponies more than 8S/8R for now only this, or another naked MT09/street triple rs765/ gsx s1000 , but anyways waiting for yours new videos, enjoy it 💪
From Philippines Bro still saving for that bike im torn between the zx6r and the gsxs as well. Similar in price but maybe ill end up with gsxs coz of my back
Brother I’m the same way! I traded my zx6r for a 24 z900 SE. I know it’s not as fast but it’s still got that sweet inline 4 sound and a lot of torque. But it’s so much more comfortable. My back is to bad for super sports 😂
Supersport is not for everyone. If you have back problems, or if you actually commute often, in traffic, a naked is better. Supersport is best for the weekend warrior. Naked is for the daily grind.
No need to apologize bro.. you got the right bike.. your back is way important..
Well done my boy welcome to the big leagues.

Enjoy your new bike. You will for sure come back to the supersport

@@maamajhigouri1207 appreciate you! I will always love the ZX6R. Such a great bike. I just needed something different and comfy.
@@JagMoto636 of course you made the right decision 👏 👌

@@aleksandrkorovin1524 yeah the wind sucks too, but I usually ride backroads instead of highways

Yeah I definitely would recommend the gsxs

@@shotgunemdown5239 I was trying to get the z900se at first! Yeah I need to go to the chiropractor lol
Not as fast? Ridiculous. Tuned you get 130hp… way more torque, and with a -1 front and rear you will WALK 600’s…
Mt09 sp says you picked wrong 😑
Never got to ride one, but I’m happy with my choice
@@JagMoto636oh I know lol. I was only guessing they’re around the same price ✅
If Suzuki’s weren’t so heavy I would get one.
But Suzuki have awesome in-line 4 & nice TFT displays.
@@ChrisSauer-oe5ve it’s not bad once you’re moving
Problem here is traffic is to much stop & go, so heavy bikes are not friendly. But in America it’s easy pezee 😎
@@ChrisSauer-oe5ve where I live there’s barely traffic and a lot of back roads
@@JagMoto636 Yes I noticed, great bike for your area 💯😎

@@Backtothehat yeah I loved it, but only could ride 1 or 2 times a week. Now I feel like I could ride everyday!
Great choice 👍
@@ChrisSauer-oe5ve thank you bro!
Hi i am new here awesome bike 😊 ride safe
@@ruimteschipYT thank you!
I put Heli bars on my ZX6R. It made a big difference for street riding.
@@wrecking_havoc586 yeah I would’ve done that, but I just wanted something new 😅
Gang you shoulda looked into the katana!
I like the style of the gsxs more
mods when ?
Soon!
You’ll miss zx6r
I already do, but still happy with my trade
I just can't get past the way naked bikes look
@@PureEvil1138 sportbikes definitely look better
:'(
Sorry 😢
Z900 is better
