It only makes 122 horsepower? Is that enough to ride on the open highway? Will it comfortably hold 70 mph? I was thinking of buying my grandson a motorcycle for his 16th birthday, but I don't think a 600cc motorcycle would be good enough to ride on the bigger highways. I will probably buy him the 1000cc so that he can do 70 mph on the highway to at least keep up with traffic. Are these reliable? This would be his first motorcycle.
Finally someone online has mentioned how hot the cbr600rr gets. That's what put me off one and onto the zx6r! Picking up my anniversary edition next week 😁
Because of You watching- And I must Say THANK YOU!! You are the most important part of the Channel- you the viewer!! Am I'm so thankful for you and everyone else that watched a video. Thanks 🙏🏻.
Great color on that legendary Kawi 636! Perfect timing to sit down and watch this bad boy as I just got back from a long ride myself. You have yourself a wonderful weekend Ray!
I just took delivery of my 2025 ZX6-R and it’s by far the smoothest and most comfortable Sport bike I’ve ever owned. I’ve had R1, R6, Daytona 675, Hayabusa, S1000RR, MT-10. Precision shifting and beautiful crisp power. Excellent in absolutely every way. The only thing that is almost impossible to do, is the breaking method which Kawasaki recommends to keep it under 4000 RPMs, but trying to be on the freeway or highway and in 6TH gear under 4000 RPMs is absolutely impossible to keep up with traffic.
I haven't owned a motorcycle for 4 years now and it was 2005 SV650S 650cc. As a 36 year old man who is going to pick up a 2024 Ninja ZX6R 40th Anniversary edition TOMORROW (or when the dealer has it ready xD hopefully tomorrow) and FINALLY RIDE AGAIN!! oh it makes me so happy to see someone older than me feeling like I know I'm gonna feel on it tomorrow...ALIVE!! I saw a guy on the road, while I was in my car on one, and he was having a blast! I can't even sleep.. the excitement is hard to contain. Ride on brother. This video made my night, I wanted to get myself more hyped up about it.. and you made my day Ray!
Man I'm so excited about your bike! I somehow can really sense how excited you are and you made my day!! Ride on My friend!! Please 🙏🏻 Stay in Touch!! Talk to you soon Firestorm!! Enjoy your bike and the Freedom that comes with it!!
I used to have a 2006 zx-6r and it’s been a couple years since I’ve had one! I just bought the 2025 zx-r6 and I’m so happy with it. You helped me learn a few things on this video.
I just picked up my first 600cc motorcycle Saturday from Miami. I bought the '24 ZX6R in the Robotic Gray and White color. I have only put 18 miles on it so far. This bike is an AMAZING bike so far and have heard nothing but good things about it. I cannot wait to see what memories this bike brings.
How comfortable is it? I sat on a 2024 zx6r and the zx4rr felt better. Is that the same? I am buying the 2025 gsxr1000r and want a smaller one for around town. I usually buy 2 motorcycles a year.
My wife picked up a 24 just a few weeks ago and god damn are they restricted. So many damn DOT regulations just gimp the motor. Engine is still too young to tune but on dyno you can see how the fuel starts cutting off at high rpms. Definitely a fan of this color scheme.
@@RayBowdenRides Definitely in the works for us. Can't wait to open the litre bike up to its full potential. Great video, love your unbiased reviews as always
I've been wanting this bike for a while now as my first bike, would you recommend for starting? I don't want to have to upgrade in a year. I've ridden dirt bikes before and a 500cc
@qwinneth5758 that's a good Question, I'd like to answer it for you but I don't know your skill level. And it takes alot of restraint with the Right wrist.
I agree, this is the best color. Put money down on it in September, not coming in till next month. I’ve already passed up on the other two colors. I have a 2024 4rr 40th anniversary edition for my trade in. Great bike, it’s been flashed. I’m just above you in Oklahoma, and we’ve had some great riding weather. You watch, when I get it next month, the bottoms gonna fall out😂 (weather). I’m an older rider too, 53 still riding sport bikes. By the way, you have great reviews!
Ray, you are one badass. I just picked up a 2025 Ninja 650 KRT w/ ABS. I love it. It's definitely not as fast as the ZX6R and definitely doesn't sound as beautiful, but for what I do it works great. Keep puting out phenomenal content.
Wicked. I'm considering this bike. Would you say it's comfortable enough for highway commuting 35 miles to and from work, totalling 70 miles round trip. It's a great value for something with some decent power and technology.I watch your content and subscribed during last vid. Thanks 👍
I have the 2023 zx6r, and the 2024 Aprilia RS 660. 2 totally different machines lol. I ride the zx6 way more 🙂 Great video, and I'm definitely subbing
Me personally I would keep my zx6r Just for the fact that I am more of a street rider. Other people might have different outlooks on this. But this is my opinion 👍🏼 Both bikes are amazing though
@@jasongebhardt9194 I am more interested on riding on the street than the track. So I thought the RS660 would be better thanks to cruise control and more comfortable position. But you are saying the ZX6R is more enjoyable on the street? And thanks for the input!
Everyone is complaining about zx6r not getting an autoblipper and ride by wire . until they get it and notice theres no much of big a difference. Zx6r is by far the best all rounder middleweight bike and the sweet spot of supersport.
@@unstoppable2131 I know, people are whinging like crazy in this comments section. Ride by wire and an autoblipper are nice little add ons, but if you're a proper rider these aids aren't a deal breaker.
Nice ride review and nice bike, my first bike which was a 2014 Yamaha Stryker had almost the exact same color. So I know how good it must look in person. Does that bike have a quick shifter?
Yes up I know for Sure - down ii don't think so , but you can always get a aftermarket quick shifter. Shawn thk you for always being part of the Channel- you and others are why I love doing this.
I'm around your age and have always had a passion for motorcycles, from off-road bikes to street models. I suppose I'm experiencing a late mid-life crisis now that I'm in my early 60s. I'm trying to convince my wife to let me buy one, but she didn't talk to me for three days after I brought it up, LOL. I'm completely taken with this bike-not just its design, but also its stunning gray and blue color. Many people don't seem to realize just how powerful this bike is. From what I've learned, its top speed is 160 mph, and with some modifications, you can push it to 170 mph. Honestly, who needs more speed than that for the streets?
Nice Ninja right there. I’ve had a 09 Ninja ZX6R since new. I luv it and I’m now 55yrs old. Bike has 44,600 miles now. She does an occasional track day but mostly street and mountains. I would luv to get the new 25 Ninja but need to win the lottery first. The 09-12 had a Ohlins steering stabilizer from the factory but will need to be sent out and revalved or whatever they do to it. ✌️
To be your age and still love sportbikes is a AWESOME deal, I'm your age also, I love all motorcycles!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Please Stay in Touch.
I wish they had made the wheels the same blue color that's on the body. Out of the 3 paint schemes I'd have to go with the White/Red/Grey bike, but if this bike had blue wheels I'd almost certainly go with that.
Ooooh that would be AWESOME! Thanks for Commenting my friend and being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻. Filming the 25 Zx10r today, Have a AWESOME Friday Ace. Don't be a Stranger!!!
I believe both, The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R KRT Edition has a rear suspension with fully adjustable spring preload, stepless compression damping adjustment, and stepless adjustable rebound damping. To adjust the rear shock on a motorcycle, you can: Loosen the top locking ring Use a C-spanner to loosen the top locking ring and spin it up the shock to access the adjuster ring. Turn the adjuster ring To increase preload, turn the adjuster ring clockwise. This will make the bike feel stiffer and reduce the spring's travel. Test the bike After making adjustments, take the bike for a ride and test it on different surfaces. Adjusting the rear shock spring preload changes the motorcycle's rear sag, which is the difference in rear ride height between a loaded and fully extended suspension. For rider sag, the ideal range is 30-40 mm. If the sag is less than 30 mm, the preload is too soft, and if it's more than 40 mm, the preload is too much.
great video, and keep revving the bike sounds amazing, can’t wait to hear it with a full exhaust. i’m looking in to getting the white one, is the 2025 model slower like the 2024? with the low to mid rpm performance over top end. Can’t find anything about this online for the 25 model somebody let me know!
It's a Acepro on the helmet & Insta x4 on the bars looking back at me- I have discount links in my video Descriptions. Thanks for Commenting and the kind words my friend 🙏🏻.
I LOVE the Pearl Robotic White/Metallic Graphite Gray scheme. I don't like that Metallic Matte Dark Gray/Ebony scheme because visually, it makes my eyes feel dirty. I opine it doesn't do the bike's gorgeous design any justice. It makes it look unfinished, like it's a project bike, especially being flat. My '22 Hayabusa is matte silver, but it has metal particles, so it reflects the lines of the design with a lot of contrast between shadow and light and looks intentional. I think if the dark gray had a clear cote, then it would look nice.
Ooh that would look good, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻. That Hayabusa looks good I've seen them in that Color. Thanks for being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻, and stay in Touch my friend!!!
When I see somebody on a sportbike in my hometown, I point & say, " There goes Mr. Ray! " 🏍 💨 👈 We Thank You for What You do, I speak on behalf of the biker community 👍👏👏
I would like to purchase a suzuki gsxr1000r, but I also really like the Kawasaki zx6r for more practical reasons. I've watched many videos on both bikes including yours and can not decide. I know this is not a apple's with apple's comparison between the two but if I can only buy/have one which one would you recommend. Please advise I appreciate any feedback!
I love 1 Liter bikes , that's just me. Thanks for Commenting and being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻. Don't what's right for you!! Have a great rest of your week.
depends on the type of riding you do. I prefer the smaller bikes because I'm an average size guy, don't do drag racing, cant stand riding straight lines/ interstates ,love the handling of the smaller cc bikes, and I just feel more comfortable with less power. Most people would be perfectly happy with a 600 but the peer pressure from their riding buddies wont allow them to buy smaller. I'm way beyond caring what anyone else thinks I should ride lol. All that being said my bike is a 1000cc FZ1. Wish I had kept my 600 though.
I previously owned a 2009 yamaha r6. I had it for about 3 or 4 years, then got married, had kids, and then sold it. I had a lot of good/fun rides on it, it was also a very exciting bike to ride. I've been considering the 1000cc to try something different. We all have different opinions as people, but it seems that there are some who I've heard say "liter bikes are not practical for street use and honestly almost unridable", not to mention I live in California. I can't speak to that because I've never road one. What do I do? Thank you for your time and any feedback it's greatly appreciated!
I’m buying one of these in this exact grey color spec, within the next few weeks. I just came across this video lmao and watching it made me that much more excited to get it thanks man😂.
@@RayBowdenRidesWill do, I pick her up this Saturday and I can hardly wait to feel it out 😂. No problem this is a great video regarding this bike, appreciate the review 👍.
Question if you don't mind answering. What kind of camera is attached to your side mirrors and is there GPS setting on it that shows your direction of travel (Like in the upper left corner of the screen)?
Insta 360 x3 - you will need insta's Action remote and have it paired to the camera ,the remote does all the GPS and embeds it into the camera footage, then you just download your footage with what you want , direction- speed or whatever!
I love this bike!!! I put my deposit on it at Plano Kawasaki last month.(same color in the video) Still hasn’t came in :( and was told I might get next month. I don’t know what’s happening at Kawasaki but they need to bring more to the dealers bc I need this bike rn lol
Personally what turned me away from the 636 when I upgraded from my 650 was the looks. I ended up finding a GSXR600 that I really loved (sadly wrecked and totaled on that bike). I should have waited for the’24 to come out because I REALLY like the new look. It’s on my list for when im recovered and ready to get back on a bike
@@WynterK yeah man I know. At the time the current body redesign hadn’t been released yet and I didn’t like the previous designs of the 636 personally. I’ve always kinda been drawn to the single headlight design on gixxers and the one I ended up getting already had aftermarket parts I would have done and the price was right for me so I got it. Main thing now is just my recovery. Once im more recovered Im going to be looking at the market and what I feel would be best for me. Im not worried about being on the fastest bike just the bike that I feel is the best for me.
Not a whole lot happened to the 636 in the 20 years since it came out tbh... Power basically stayed the same compared to the B1 and it's actually lower than the C1. Also the candy thunder blue and the plasma blue need to make a comeback
I'm pretty sure Kawasaki is going to come out with there Own version of the R9. And it's going to be AWESOME!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻. Have a great weekend!!
Good video. I am following your channel from some days. I really appreciate your work. I want to ask you something, can you please tell me in which country you shoot these videos??
Great looking bike ray and that gray looks awesome and sounds good great job on the vids ray and I’m watching your channel while I’m recovering from back surgery and September 5 I will have knee replacement surgery and i will enjoy the vids while I’m recovering and I look forward to seeing more videos it really helps me out and keep me occupied thanks again ray
@@RayBowdenRides i know you will keep me entertained ray your an awesome person and friend keep up the awesome work ray and stay safe that’s the main thing looking forward to seeing what you come up with next stay safe
Is there a difference between the 25 zx6r and the 24 zx6r 40th anniversary. Thanks heaps. Also we only just got the 24 bikes but I've been told October shipment 2025 bikes
@ these two bikes are what im stuck between. 750 got the power but little more outdated on the fancy gadgets and no auto shifter. Fx6r best back for your buck with the tech, but not as powerful. Ahhh decisions decisions
I can easily go over 70mph comfortably on my surron and i know it’s not the same as riding a motorcycle but I just want to upgrade to something faster and better. Do you think I could handle the power of the ZX6r?
If you wanna flat foot a bike get a Harley lol. Otherwise you can flat foot if you lean on one side but you arent gonna flat foot both unless ur like a 6’2 dude.
It's a very fast bike, if you don't have any previous riding experience- No! Start with a 500cc bikes. If you do have some riding experience maybe. Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻
Aprilia 457 is what I would buy. Looks awesome and has a lot of bells and whistles. You can start on a 600 but man these things are way fst for a straight up beginerer. A 400 to 500 twin cylinder will gbe plenty fast enough to keep you entertained but also be forgiving enough that it wont punish you as bad if you make a mistake.
@@Ihywasim Heard great things about the ninja 500/400 line. The r7 does look sweet. I started on a 94 yamaha fzr 600. that bike was only 85 hp or something like that. I couldnt imagine starting on a bike with over 100hp. Whatever you decide be safe.

I'm around your age and have always had a passion for motorcycles, from off-road bikes to street models. I suppose I'm experiencing a late mid-life crisis now that I'm in my early 60s. I'm trying to convince my wife to let me buy one, but she didn't talk to me for three days after I brought it up, LOL. I'm completely taken with this bike-not just its design, but also its stunning gray and blue color. Many people don't seem to realize just how powerful this bike is. From what I've learned, its top speed is 160 mph, and with some modifications, you can push it to 170 mph. Honestly, who needs more speed than that for the streets?
It's a AWESOME Motorcycle for sure!! Thanks for Commenting Raymond! Have a great weekend!!
That color looks sick
It is beautiful, Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻.
That ZX-6R is nice!
I love the color, I'll change the blue trim to the Kawasaki Green trim with that color..
Ooh that would look awesome, Great idea! Thanks for Watching Anthony!! Have a AWESOME weekend!!
Nice Ninja right there. I’ve had a 09 Ninja ZX6R since new. I luv it and I’m now 55yrs old. Bike has 44,600 miles now. She does an occasional track day but mostly street and mountains. I would luv to get the new 25 Ninja but need to win the lottery first. The 09-12 had a Ohlins steering stabilizer from the factory but will need to be sent out and revalved or whatever they do to it. ✌️
To be your age and still love sportbikes is a AWESOME deal, I'm your age also, I love all motorcycles!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Please Stay in Touch.
Kwaka just are the leaders, everyone else follows, i have a 2003 zx6rr which after 20 years is still a MACHINE in my opinion.
They sure are! Thanks for being apart of the Channel and Commenting 🙏🏻. Have a great rest of your week!!
I wish they had made the wheels the same blue color that's on the body. Out of the 3 paint schemes I'd have to go with the White/Red/Grey bike, but if this bike had blue wheels I'd almost certainly go with that.
Ooooh that would be AWESOME! Thanks for Commenting my friend and being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻. Filming the 25 Zx10r today, Have a AWESOME Friday Ace. Don't be a Stranger!!!
You mentioned the rear shocks are adjustable. Is it pre-load adjustable or height adjustable?
I believe both, The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R KRT Edition has a rear suspension with fully adjustable spring preload, stepless compression damping adjustment, and stepless adjustable rebound damping. To adjust the rear shock on a motorcycle, you can:
Loosen the top locking ring
Use a C-spanner to loosen the top locking ring and spin it up the shock to access the adjuster ring.
Turn the adjuster ring
To increase preload, turn the adjuster ring clockwise. This will make the bike feel stiffer and reduce the spring's travel.
Test the bike
After making adjustments, take the bike for a ride and test it on different surfaces.
Adjusting the rear shock spring preload changes the motorcycle's rear sag, which is the difference in rear ride height between a loaded and fully extended suspension. For rider sag, the ideal range is 30-40 mm. If the sag is less than 30 mm, the preload is too soft, and if it's more than 40 mm, the preload is too much.
Hi Ray, great video as always! If you don't mind, could you please tell me what bracket you used to mount the camera on the front left mirror?
It's a insta 360 mount from insta,
hooly that's a beauty. I can't wait to see the 2025 green Kawasaki ZX-6R 🟢
Thks for Watching-Commenting and being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻.
great video, and keep revving the bike sounds amazing, can’t wait to hear it with a full exhaust. i’m looking in to getting the white one, is the 2025 model slower like the 2024? with the low to mid rpm performance over top end. Can’t find anything about this online for the 25 model somebody let me know!
Not that I know of, but you have to keep researching it. Thanks for Watching and Commenting Jayce🙏🏻, Have a AWESOME Rest of your weekend!
What go pro mount set up do you have? It’s super clean!
It's a Acepro on the helmet & Insta x4 on the bars looking back at me- I have discount links in my video Descriptions. Thanks for Commenting and the kind words my friend 🙏🏻.
I LOVE the Pearl Robotic White/Metallic Graphite Gray scheme. I don't like that Metallic Matte Dark Gray/Ebony scheme because visually, it makes my eyes feel dirty. I opine it doesn't do the bike's gorgeous design any justice. It makes it look unfinished, like it's a project bike, especially being flat. My '22 Hayabusa is matte silver, but it has metal particles, so it reflects the lines of the design with a lot of contrast between shadow and light and looks intentional. I think if the dark gray had a clear cote, then it would look nice.
Ooh that would look good, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻. That Hayabusa looks good I've seen them in that Color. Thanks for being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻, and stay in Touch my friend!!!
love the energy
Thanks David for the kind words 🙏🏻, Thanks for Commenting and Watching my friend!! Have a Great Thursday and we will talk again soon!!
When I see somebody on a sportbike in my hometown, I point & say,
" There goes Mr. Ray! "
🏍 💨 👈
We Thank You for What You do, I speak on behalf of the biker community 👍👏👏
Man you are so kind🙏🏻, thank you for that!!! I try- Have a AWESOME weekend my FRIEND!!
Just seen my local bike shop got a few of these in, definitely my next purchase!!
You will love it my friend- Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻. Have a AWESOME rest of your week and stay in Touch!!!
I would like to purchase a suzuki gsxr1000r, but I also really like the Kawasaki zx6r for more practical reasons. I've watched many videos on both bikes including yours and can not decide. I know this is not a apple's with apple's comparison between the two but if I can only buy/have one which one would you recommend. Please advise I appreciate any feedback!
I love 1 Liter bikes , that's just me. Thanks for Commenting and being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻. Don't what's right for you!! Have a great rest of your week.
Zx10r krt edition or original gangster Gsxr1000rz?
depends on the type of riding you do. I prefer the smaller bikes because I'm an average size guy, don't do drag racing, cant stand riding straight lines/ interstates ,love the handling of the smaller cc bikes, and I just feel more comfortable with less power. Most people would be perfectly happy with a 600 but the peer pressure from their riding buddies wont allow them to buy smaller. I'm way beyond caring what anyone else thinks I should ride lol. All that being said my bike is a 1000cc FZ1. Wish I had kept my 600 though.
@danlford i love smaller bikes to! Easier to have huge amounts of fun! At half the speeds. Thanks for Commenting!
I previously owned a 2009 yamaha r6. I had it for about 3 or 4 years, then got married, had kids, and then sold it. I had a lot of good/fun rides on it, it was also a very exciting bike to ride. I've been considering the 1000cc to try something different. We all have different opinions as people, but it seems that there are some who I've heard say "liter bikes are not practical for street use and honestly almost unridable", not to mention I live in California. I can't speak to that because I've never road one. What do I do? Thank you for your time and any feedback it's greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much Ray for this info.
Very Welcome 🙏🏻. Thank you for Watching and Commenting my friend!!!
I’m buying one of these in this exact grey color spec, within the next few weeks. I just came across this video lmao and watching it made me that much more excited to get it thanks man😂.
Thanks my friend!! Let me know when you get it! Thanks for Commenting and Watching 🙏🏻.
@@RayBowdenRidesWill do, I pick her up this Saturday and I can hardly wait to feel it out 😂. No problem this is a great video regarding this bike, appreciate the review 👍.
Hi Ray 👋👋👋👋☺️Great Review 👍🙂
Thanks Derek!!!! Have a good one buddy.
so im going to be buying an r3 or 500 ninja. my end goal is this bike. how long do would you say i should wait for it? year or two or more or less?
You would be the one to answer that, All I can tell you is - you can always buy another BIKE! But you only get one LIFE!!!
Take it slow and please Stay in Touch my friend!!!
At least a year since most people drop their first bike
@mrpringle9479 it can happen.
That’s a good looking bike
It is Mia, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻! Have a AWESOME weekend my friend!
@@RayBowdenRides no problem. Be safe.
Question if you don't mind answering. What kind of camera is attached to your side mirrors and is there GPS setting on it that shows your direction of travel (Like in the upper left corner of the screen)?
Insta 360
Insta 360 x3 - you will need insta's Action remote and have it paired to the camera ,the remote does all the GPS and embeds it into the camera footage, then you just download your footage with what you want , direction- speed or whatever!
@@RayBowdenRides Thank you
@@thenewwatchersonthewall Thank you
Hey, what's that mirror clamp mount you're using?
It's a insta 360 clamp!
great reviews man u deserve more subs
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏🏻, Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend- Please Stay in Touch and have a AWESOME weekend!!!
I love this bike!!! I put my deposit on it at Plano Kawasaki last month.(same color in the video) Still hasn’t came in :( and was told I might get next month. I don’t know what’s happening at Kawasaki but they need to bring more to the dealers bc I need this bike rn lol
Man your getting 1 AWESOME bike! Let me know when you get it!! Stay in Touch my friend!!
Lovely looking bike. Do you recommend getting the steering damper for it?
Depends on how your going to Ride it. Fast yes- otherwise no. Thanks for Commenting 🙏🏻.
@ thanks for the reply man!
@HammerHead_1-UP no problem!! Have a great weekend!!
Really enjoyed you're z900rs review. Got a new cafe version in March. Cool review on the zx6r. Curious, whats with the watch you kept focusing on?
That's a Insta 360 preview basically- it shows the image your currently filming - LIVE.
@RayBowdenRides wow cool. Guess I'm not very tech savvy. Thanks for the reply
I have the exact same bike same colours it’s insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful bike!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.
I want that same bike but I can't find it around my area where are they at?
Just keep looking or Call Plano Kawasaki 972-422-4111 talk to Mike Canon!
Usually dealers show their stock online, check for dealers in your area/surrounding cities, then get to calling or checking their websites
@kylebaine2901 Great recommendations, thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻. Have a AWESOME rest of your week!
Personally what turned me away from the 636 when I upgraded from my 650 was the looks. I ended up finding a GSXR600 that I really loved (sadly wrecked and totaled on that bike). I should have waited for the’24 to come out because I REALLY like the new look. It’s on my list for when im recovered and ready to get back on a bike
Ricardo stay in Touch and Take care of yourself my friend!!
This bike will embarress a gsxr600. I own one and highly recommend it. The added 36cc really makes a difference.
@@WynterK yeah man I know. At the time the current body redesign hadn’t been released yet and I didn’t like the previous designs of the 636 personally. I’ve always kinda been drawn to the single headlight design on gixxers and the one I ended up getting already had aftermarket parts I would have done and the price was right for me so I got it. Main thing now is just my recovery. Once im more recovered Im going to be looking at the market and what I feel would be best for me. Im not worried about being on the fastest bike just the bike that I feel is the best for me.
@RicardoGonzalez-rb4sn Smart guy ! Have a good one my friend!!
anyone knows if there's any differences or upgrades for the '25 model over the '24 zx6r besides the grey color?
Every thing is the same down to the tires and only thing different is the color option
@@quanwick4516 thank you!
Thanks for Commenting 🙏🏻
Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻.
@@randomgamer4610 yes just an waste of money really 😂
Question would pick zx6r or zx10r i feel zx10r u wont use the full power on the road
Probley true for most People- Most😁
Mines at the power sports dealer waiting for me to pick it up👍
Go get that bike your going to love it!
Not a whole lot happened to the 636 in the 20 years since it came out tbh... Power basically stayed the same compared to the B1 and it's actually lower than the C1. Also the candy thunder blue and the plasma blue need to make a comeback
Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻.
I cant decide between this and the suzuki gsxr 750 or maybe if i should wait for the yamaha r9
I'm pretty sure Kawasaki is going to come out with there Own version of the R9. And it's going to be AWESOME!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻. Have a great weekend!!
Good video. I am following your channel from some days. I really appreciate your work. I want to ask you something, can you please tell me in which country you shoot these videos??
Usa, thank you for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻.
Great looking bike ray and that gray looks awesome and sounds good great job on the vids ray and I’m watching your channel while I’m recovering from back surgery and September 5 I will have knee replacement surgery and i will enjoy the vids while I’m recovering and I look forward to seeing more videos it really helps me out and keep me occupied thanks again ray
Duane stay Tough my friend, get to feeling better and take care of yourself! I'll try to keep you entertained!
@@RayBowdenRides i know you will keep me entertained ray your an awesome person and friend keep up the awesome work ray and stay safe that’s the main thing looking forward to seeing what you come up with next stay safe
Is there a difference between the 25 zx6r and the 24 zx6r 40th anniversary. Thanks heaps. Also we only just got the 24 bikes but I've been told October shipment 2025 bikes
James no, Not really at all. Nothing- Have a great weekend You two! Lucky couple yall are!!
love the enthusiasm! just look at it :)
Thanks for Commenting 🙏🏻. Have a AWESOME weekend!!
Luv ya brother thx for the video
Same to you! You're very Welcome 🙏🏻. Have a AWESOME weekend and stay out of trouble 😀
Which would you prefer this or the gsxr 750 u rode?
I like the Ninja for looks and tech- But the 750 for POWER!! THANKS for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.
@ these two bikes are what im stuck between. 750 got the power but little more outdated on the fancy gadgets and no auto shifter. Fx6r best back for your buck with the tech, but not as powerful. Ahhh decisions decisions
@hoodprep09 pipe that 6R and Moore Mafia flash and it's basically a 750😉. Good talking to you again and stay out of trouble this weekend!!
I can easily go over 70mph comfortably on my surron and i know it’s not the same as riding a motorcycle but I just want to upgrade to something faster and better. Do you think I could handle the power of the ZX6r?
Huge difference! Be Careful my friend!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting and have a AWESOME Thanksgiving.
Love a 636, that looks sooo good, love the colour, tho we probably wont get it in that colour in the UK :(
Dang sad to hear that! Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻- Have a AWESOME Week!!
Tail tidy, shorty exhaust and a tune would set this bike perfect 👍🏼
Yes sir it would!! Have a great weekend MrWhiteTank!! Don't be a Stranger my friend!!!
Decent first bike (after taking basic safety course) when used in low power mode?
Yes low power mode to start for sure. Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻, Thanks for being apart of the Channel!
low power mode is still 3x faster the a nija 650 i know cause i went from 650 to 636 i would say start on a 650 so you still can ride the interstate
Is the blue decals or paint? Love the grey, but not a fan of the blue. Not a big deal if it’s decals! Thanks!
I believe your right it is a decal!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting Jake!!
Stunning bike ❤
I love it to- Thanks Thomas for Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Stay in Touch!

@Thomas-o2y 🙌
Ray how tall are you? I’m 5’6” and I’m wondering if I can flat foot the ZX6R?
I'm 5'6 and my feet touched just fine! Not flat foot tho. 😊
About 5'7- 5'8,you should be fine, you might not be totally flat footed , but like Kasie said you'll be OK👍.
Thanks Kasie for Commenting and helping! Have a great Week!
If you wanna flat foot a bike get a Harley lol. Otherwise you can flat foot if you lean on one side but you arent gonna flat foot both unless ur like a 6’2 dude.
Will these be a good beginner motorcycle? I never drove a bike before ❤ thanks for the video.
No - to fast! Stay under 500cc's
I’ve been looking at an r7 for my first bike but would you say a zx6r a good first bike?
It's a very fast bike, if you don't have any previous riding experience- No! Start with a 500cc bikes. If you do have some riding experience maybe. Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻
I started on a 05 gsxr600. Yea u can start on a 600 and they have modes now .. but u jus gtta respect the bike and u will be fine
Aprilia 457 is what I would buy. Looks awesome and has a lot of bells and whistles. You can start on a 600 but man these things are way fst for a straight up beginerer. A 400 to 500 twin cylinder will gbe plenty fast enough to keep you entertained but also be forgiving enough that it wont punish you as bad if you make a mistake.
@@danlford I heard aprilias are known for un reliability lol
@@Ihywasim Heard great things about the ninja 500/400 line. The r7 does look sweet. I started on a 94 yamaha fzr 600. that bike was only 85 hp or something like that. I couldnt imagine starting on a bike with over 100hp. Whatever you decide be safe.
I want it! But I got my 24 Ninja 650 last year (my first bike). Maybe I’ll upgrade to this one in the future 🙌 thanks for your review!
Hey thank you for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Have a AWESOME rest of your week!
