I miss the days when 120mph would excite me like that... truly enjoyed watching this. I ride a 2022 Hayabusa now. 10 years no crashes. amen. Ride safe.
I taught 2 of my sons how to ride, and do so with them whenever possible. Someone almost always comments to us on how good that is to see. My first bike was a 600, then a 750, now a ZX-14. Others may say differently, but I say stick with the break in process that's in the manual, and take it in for that first service when scheduled. After that, have fun!
This is dope. New here. Definitely Kawasaki for life. I was riding with my dad the last 4 years or so until he passed in March last year (RONA). To make matters worse my Kawa 6zx got stolen last year as well BUT I just got another one and man; you ain’t lying it’s beastly. I have to say I don’t think my riding experience would have been what it is without him. We even got my mom into riding and was teaching her on her Harley so I got a chance to ride with them both. I love that you’re cherishing this and hey, I wish I kept my Kawa 650 to grunt around it’s still a great bike in my book to have. But man, y’all enjoy this Time and most of all ride your ride! Dress for the Slide! Love from DC! 💪🏽
Congrats on the bike man its beautiful. I got my first motorcycle back in june after taking my msf course. I got a 2015 636 30th anniversary addition, one hell of a starter bike having no previous motorcycle experience... Enjoying every second of it and have already put over 5k miles on it. Don't forget that you still have 4k rpms to go every pull you did in this video and she pulls hard after 10k for sure, enjoy.
Cool want to fully enjoy it takung a riding slash racing school, will learn in a day from pro things that would take yrs to figure out and some tricks you would never figure out. I did that yrs ago best money i ever spent. Got faster without touching stock bike. You want to go fast and leave your buddies. Skill biggest mod you will ever make and get huge speed returns. Knowing how to ride will make you faster than 100 more hp
@@vaporcaper9601 isn't the fire blade a 1000 RR? This is a 636, basically a mid level bike. Can't compare the two. But yes, that's on level with a Hayabusa type insanity.

Just gave good throttle control and know the power band and you'll be okay but if you never road before then I would say learning how to turn and corner etc etc is way more forgiving on a smaller bike
Have you ridden other peoples bikes or did you just take the plunge? Going off recommendations I was thinking a ninja 400 for my first bike. Do you think the ZX-6R is a good first bike for most new riders looking to ride sport bikes?
@@soulextinguisher I would say getting a 400 or ZX6R really depends on you. A lot of people told me to start on a 250-400 bike… thought about it and ended up getting a Yamaha R6 as my first bike, many people thought it was a bad idea because of crashing due to lack of experience , but it hasn’t happened yet and i been riding around 5 years now & I am a “speed demon” on the highways, which is why I ended up getting the R6. I will say, it really is up to you… you know yourself better than anyone. Evaluate your balance, your awareness, your reaction time, your coordination… If you think you can handle something bigger than a 400, there’s no reason you shouldn’t just go for it. I guess it’s worth a mention, the fact that i grew up doing extreme sports and contact sports, so that definitely helped learning how to ride.
You ain’t seen stupid fast till you get up above 8000 rpm, that’s when it really wakes up. Quit short shifting and ring it out all the way to 16k. I’m 67, my son 28 and we both had ZX6R’s. He found out the old man rides hard and knows how to make her fly. In a drag he’s never beaten me. But then I’ve been riding for 55 years always on some kind of performance bike.
I have a 2022 and LOVE IT. I really like the red and black color scheme but wanted traction control which they only have on the krt (for some stupid reason). Great bike man, enjoy! So cool to see you and your dad are tight like that. Be safe, much love from eastern PA 🤘
@@ballerblitz247 ah yeah, abs that's what I meant. Misspoke. I think it's a pretty important safety feature idk why they didn't put it on all the zx6rs. My wife's ninja 400 has it and that bike was almost half the price
Really nice to see this bike getting good reviews out there by people who've just got it, Mine is coming in 2 weeks time and I could not be happier. Oh and also I was advised to throw on a Performance Damper by a friend whos been riding for almost a decade now, for better handling just saying. Ride Safe :)
Dads r ur number 1 hype man and ur biggest fan.. lol you keep telling ur pops to check out ur bike.. he prob like ya it looks good it’s on my credit…lmao
I couldn't afford to buy a CBR back in the '90's, so my buddies and I would go from dealer to dealer in Albuquerque and test ride every one that was available. I'll never forget the powerful buzz going through the handlebar as I'd ride off the lot - those were some of the best motorcycles ever made. Good times
My son upgraded from the Ninja 400 to the ZX-6R after he got a taste of my tuned VFR800 Interceptor. He and I ride all the time and while the 6R is quite fast, he still can't keep up with me lol. We decided to keep the Ninja 400 because I love to ride that bike because it flicks so easy compared to my bike.
Picked mine up today, traded in my 400 and this thing is an absolute beast, the quick shifter is the biggest blessing ever lmao. Combine with the exhaust sound it sounds so nice and has power.
So I got the 22 version on April first day I took off on it I had the traction control on 3 and I pulled the clutch in while riding like you did around the 14 minute mark n the bike turned off. When it’s on traction control 1 it won’t do it
I totaled my bike out two weeks ago in a in turn after hitting gravel and was lookin at this bike and it’s a grand a month for me and was wondering if it’s the same for u or is it just cause of my age
I bought ninja 400 last year as my first bike but this is definitely going to be my next bike after I get more experience. Thats nice looking bike man 🔥🔥💪🏼
Mines non abs but I have the same one waiting on full m4 exhaust then I have some other parts I’ll install myself and then flash it bc it doesn’t get 100% power from factory but I know where to mail my ecm to flash it plus you can get them to give you some pop from your exhaust with their tune
I didn't do a slow break in on mine. I ran it hard and put synthetic royal purple rpx in after 200 miles. Seemed to work out fine and they couldn't prove how you did or didn't break it in anyways. Love the zx6r though, worth every dollar

@@Doom-Head dump it. So basically my throttle hand stays at about the same throttle and then I pull in clutch just far enough to stop the power going to the wheel hold it for a second and drop it
@@Doom-Head so depends on bike iv unfortunately never gotten the chance to try a 636 yet I'm on a speed triple 1200 with lots of torque... I'd imagine anywhere between there should be good. I do second gear around 35 45 and first fear 25-35. Just play with it. At first just bring the clutch in real fast and drop it. Get used to wheel coming up
@@alexesquivel8566 yeah I saw on the website, I was just wondering about other differences, I4 is better then PT, even though it says the displacement is less?
Beautiful video bro...i myself got 2023 kawasaki ninja 400 last year. Havent ridden in over 30 yrs, my brother got 2006 600 he tried get me buy 636 at the dealership where i boughtmy 400, but it all came back to me in two weeks, now looking at 636 kawasaki. ...again thanks for the video bro
@@Doom-Head nice, I was going to pick up a zx6r same color as yours, but it didn’t have ABS. it’s something I’d like on all my bike for the extra safety.
@@Doom-Head yeah the dealership here said Kawasaki has been having chip issues so the lack of ABS models are hard to find here. hopefully one pops up soon.
Hell yes dude. I'm glad you like it. Looks fucking badass lol stoked to see more content. It'd be cool to see a video on that cbr650r and how you think it compares to the 400. Either way ride safe and keep posting!
59 and traded in my Vulcan S, great bike but suspension wasn't good enough for my beat up bones. Got a Triumph 660 tiger sport and love it. Love your new ZX6R but it would be to much power for me. Ride safe.
where did you get this bike from? i’ve been trying to get this exact bike, a kawasaki zx6r 2023 in black and red just like yours, but all of them have been different colors or years.
@@Doom-Head it makes a little difference. At the end of the day, it’s only a 600 so top end power and speed is not what this bike is about. Agility and handling, is. It’s a scalpel, not a sledgehammer. Haha
@@Daves_Man_Cave so I was just curious, I understand what you mean at the top end power on the 600….I feel it really starts to struggle past 150mph with vibration and just does not feel as steady, would say something like an R1 feel much more relaxed at higher speeds?
@@Doom-Head High speed needs two things. Aerodynamics, and sheer power. A 600 has aero, but doesn't have the power. The faster you go, the more the air pushes back. It's not linear, its exponential. That's why the Bugatti Veyron SS had to add over 200hp, just to go another 7mph top speed over the base model. The R1 is way faster top end, but honestly, what will you use it for? Doing those speeds on the road regularly, will see you in jail or the morgue. If its for track days, consider what tracks you will be going to. If tight and twisty, the 600 is just as fast. If its a large track like my home track(Road Atlanta), the literbike will leave the 600 behind on every straight. I had my ZX14R out on track and it was slower in the turns, but I made up for it on the straights, so overall I was turning decent lap times... If your bike is new, stick with it for awhile, do some track days and learn to ride. Don't worry about top speed, its largely irrelevant. Remember, straightaways are for fast bikes. Turns, are for fast RIDERS. Anyone can buy a fast bike and twist the throttle on the highway. Give me 15 minutes and I can train a monkey to do that much. Going fast up on a twisty mountain road? That takes actual skill, and you can't buy that... 90% of the guys that talk smack about top speed, end up being the slowest guys at a track day or on a twisty road... lol
@@Daves_Man_Cave this is awesome haha 🤘😁🤘thanks for explaining that, and the reason for that question is I have been watching Crash Test Goat and I’m kind of in disbelief of this man’s abilities 😂😂😂
Im not for sure it has a 32” seat height, I’m 6’1 and can flat foot it pretty easy. You might give it a shot you might just be on the toes of Your boot which would be fine ✌️😎
*How tall are you? I have a ninja 400 and plan ln getting one also but im nervous about being able to flat foot and riding position being aggressive, im 5’9*
I get to ride with my son and love it. I am curious as to why you chose the 636 over The OG 750? The best street bike/ race bike ever built was is The GSX-R 750 Zuk Nation! Stay safe out there fella’z!
i have the 2023 zx6r it has both but the rpms have to be low enough or what i usually do is give it a tiny bit of throttle and as soon as you let off push down on the shifter
Nice! 👍 the bike is fairly tall, I’m 6’1 and can barely flat foot it….but I think if you just lean to one side with one foot down and make sure your take offs are clean, I think you’ll be fine 🤗
I have the same bike with the same brake fluid sock 😀 I had to take the “notice” sticker off my fuel tank, I was scared to death when removing it, thought I was going to scratch the paint with my fingernail.
How are you Shifting with out pulling in the clutch? Is it an automatic mode? Or you just click up without pulling the clutch in? Sorry if that’s a dumb question but I’m new to bike life. Cheers 🍻 🤘🏻🤘🏻

and how did you get the red and black edition?
Beautiful video bro...i myself got 2023 kawasaki ninja 400 last year. Havent ridden in over 30 yrs, my brother got 2006 600 he tried get me buy 636 at the dealership where i boughtmy 400, but it all came back to me in two weeks, now looking at 636 kawasaki. ...again thanks for the video bro
Thx bro! ✌️😎
I remember when I first road my 636 from a 250. Man yea it’s fast af. So much fun.
Dude ikr 😂 I luv it ✌️😎
Definitely the 600 to buy, great value. Wait till you flash it and put exhaust on it. Killer!
That is definitely next on the list haha ✌️😎
how did you get that black and red variant
Congratulations Man I got myself a 2023 Zx6R same color as yours
Dude, I luvvv this paint scheme so much haha ✌️😁
I went from a 2014 drz400sm to a 636. I hit 123 soooo quickly. Right now my drz feels like it's falling apart at 80. World of difference.
Congrats on the bike
Thank ya! ✌️🙂
I know it’s an old video but is this the ABS version?
Yes, it’s ABS equipped
@@Doom-Head nice, I was going to pick up a zx6r same color as yours, but it didn’t have ABS. it’s something I’d like on all my bike for the extra safety.
@@Kingnabor yes I highly recommend the ABS version, honestly I don’t know why they even make them without ABS
@@Doom-Head yeah the dealership here said Kawasaki has been having chip issues so the lack of ABS models are hard to find here. hopefully one pops up soon.
You can also put it up on a stand and do the break in period.
lol 🤣like ferris bueller with the Ferrari going in reverse to take off the miles huh lol
Oh wow can you really do that? That would be amazing
@@Doom-Head you can but you need a fan to cool it down
If you live in Bloomington I think i've seen you around haha
Don’t live there but 446 is definitely one of my faves, so very possible 😁🤘
Hell yes dude. I'm glad you like it. Looks fucking badass lol stoked to see more content. It'd be cool to see a video on that cbr650r and how you think it compares to the 400. Either way ride safe and keep posting!
Thanks Cody! I absolutely love it, and yes that’s a good idea 👍
Oct 26 😳🙄😁🏆
Dad get the zx14r; I promise you’ll enjoy yourself 🎉
ZX-6R is my 2nd dream bike
It’s an amazing machine for sure! ✌️😎
59 and traded in my Vulcan S, great bike but suspension wasn't good enough for my beat up bones. Got a Triumph 660 tiger sport and love it. Love your new ZX6R but it would be to much power for me. Ride safe.
Congratulations buddy! I just looked up the tiger sport and that thing is beautiful! 🙂👍
Just curious.. I haven't ridden in a while... would you recommend starting on the 400?
Definitely!!! That’s what I did an the 400 is a ton of fun, super fast too 😎😎
@@Doom-Head Thanks ... love seeing you ride with your dad :)
Oct 25 😳👍🇺🇸 thank you Hope you get dream bike somed ay
🤘😎
where did you get this bike from? i’ve been trying to get this exact bike, a kawasaki zx6r 2023 in black and red just like yours, but all of them have been different colors or years.
Also, you're short shifting with alot of revs left in each gear. You may already be aware but it will really sound right when you hit 16K rpms.
Duuuude I know 😂 I watched the footage and was like dam…..could’ve rode out that gear further haha ✌️😁
Also, get the ECU flashed. That bike is good for low 150's top end. It's a great bike, you need to get it out on track.
Absolutely! I heard the flash makes a huge difference ✌️😎
@@Doom-Head it makes a little difference. At the end of the day, it’s only a 600 so top end power and speed is not what this bike is about. Agility and handling, is. It’s a scalpel, not a sledgehammer. Haha
@@Daves_Man_Cave so I was just curious, I understand what you mean at the top end power on the 600….I feel it really starts to struggle past 150mph with vibration and just does not feel as steady, would say something like an R1 feel much more relaxed at higher speeds?
@@Doom-Head High speed needs two things. Aerodynamics, and sheer power. A 600 has aero, but doesn't have the power. The faster you go, the more the air pushes back. It's not linear, its exponential. That's why the Bugatti Veyron SS had to add over 200hp, just to go another 7mph top speed over the base model.
The R1 is way faster top end, but honestly, what will you use it for? Doing those speeds on the road regularly, will see you in jail or the morgue. If its for track days, consider what tracks you will be going to. If tight and twisty, the 600 is just as fast. If its a large track like my home track(Road Atlanta), the literbike will leave the 600 behind on every straight.
I had my ZX14R out on track and it was slower in the turns, but I made up for it on the straights, so overall I was turning decent lap times...
If your bike is new, stick with it for awhile, do some track days and learn to ride. Don't worry about top speed, its largely irrelevant. Remember, straightaways are for fast bikes. Turns, are for fast RIDERS. Anyone can buy a fast bike and twist the throttle on the highway. Give me 15 minutes and I can train a monkey to do that much. Going fast up on a twisty mountain road? That takes actual skill, and you can't buy that...
90% of the guys that talk smack about top speed, end up being the slowest guys at a track day or on a twisty road... lol
@@Daves_Man_Cave this is awesome haha 🤘😁🤘thanks for explaining that, and the reason for that question is I have been watching Crash Test Goat and I’m kind of in disbelief of this man’s abilities 😂😂😂
Heavy metal and fast bikes..let's go...
I am most definitely a fan of metal 🤘😁🤘
its crazy to think i bought my krt edition the sametime and we both ride bmx also, keep up the videos man love the content just stay safe out there.
That's awesome!
Appreciate the video!
I’m 5’6” Is this bike too tall for me?
Im not for sure it has a 32” seat height, I’m 6’1 and can flat foot it pretty easy. You might give it a shot you might just be on the toes of
Your boot which would be fine ✌️😎
I’m Stuck Between A Vulcan S650 Or A Ninja 650 For My Very First Back. Any Recommendations?
The Vulcan is definitely stylin, I really enjoyed cruising around on mine….but I feel I have more control on sport bikes 🤗
@@Doom-Head Thanks Man!🧡
*How tall are you? I have a ninja 400 and plan ln getting one also but im nervous about being able to flat foot and riding position being aggressive, im 5’9*
I’m 6’1
@@Doom-Head *Aw shit lol, perfect for you im sure*
@@IDABAYAREA650I I think you might be good dude if you just make sure your take offs are clean
My fz09 Took from the dealership and ripped it. First oil change and creating some load on decel is all you need. Let her eat!
😎🤘
I get to ride with my son and love it. I am curious as to why you chose the 636 over The OG 750? The best street bike/ race bike ever built was is The GSX-R 750 Zuk Nation! Stay safe out there fella’z!
Awesome! We absolutely love motorcycles now haha and I guess you could say I bought this bike just because I thought it looked so menacing ✌️😁
Hey man what cameras are you guys using. Picking up the same bike this week. Great video!
Thank you! Hell yes dude, I run the GoPro 8 and 10 ✌️😎
@@Doom-Head ride safe brotha ✊🏼✊🏼thanks for the response.
i got a ninja 400, hopefully i can upgrade to this next year
That’s what I started on 😎👍
@@Doom-Head is there a huge difference?
Thank for this video !! 😊
I’m looking to upgrade to ZX6R from my ninja 400 ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you great vid
No problem! And your gunna luv it!! ✌️😎
@@Doom-Head I loveeeee it !!!!! 💚💚💚💚
@@stephanie.nurse.runner9337 yes! 😃 🫶
With the quick shifter can you down shift or only up shift
I have heard mixed answers about that, I tried to down shift it without engaging the clutch lever with no luck…
Up only and you want the throttle open while you do it
ua-cam.com/users/shortsrdwIJIitmpY?feature=share
i have the 2023 zx6r it has both but the rpms have to be low enough or what i usually do is give it a tiny bit of throttle and as soon as you let off push down on the shifter
Very informative video…Awesome Bike, Dude!!
Thx bro! I absolutely love it haha 😂
Cool video..congrats on the bike.stay safe ✌️✌️
I will try haha ✌️😁
Which country bro
I have a 2020 400 KRT looking to upgrade to the same bike, im only 5ft4in I hope it's not to much
Nice! 👍 the bike is fairly tall, I’m 6’1 and can barely flat foot it….but I think if you just lean to one side with one foot down and make sure your take offs are clean, I think you’ll be fine 🤗
I have the same bike with the same brake fluid sock 😀 I had to take the “notice” sticker off my fuel tank, I was scared to death when removing it, thought I was going to scratch the paint with my fingernail.
Hell yes! I recently took mine off as well, used a heat gun and wd40
How are you Shifting with out pulling in the clutch? Is it an automatic mode? Or you just click up without pulling the clutch in? Sorry if that’s a dumb question but I’m new to bike life. Cheers 🍻 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Yes sir, the built in quick shifter allows you to only use the clutch pedal without the need to pull the clutch lever ✌️😎
Be careful and Enjoy! 😃
I'm hoping to get the 2024 ZX-6R. Hoping it will have the updated tft display with an auto blipper. Nice video
I can’t wait to see what the 24 looks like 🤘😎
How long u had the 400 b4 getting the zx6r
Like 4 months
A very handsome bike.
Thank you! 🤘😎
Got the ZX4RR and LoVe It!!
Great bikes
Great video. Just got a Kawasaki z 400 2022 and love it but I'll get the Kawasaki 650 in the future! A z Kawasaki of course!
I absolutely love the z400, if I could go back I would have gotten that over my ninja 400….nice choice 👍
What a masterpiece of bike, and video.
Thank you
Thank you!
