Yam .... 2:10 what's up with those wet mouth noises man 😂 I'm sorry but they completely pulled me out of the video lol
I bought a 2017 zx6r for my graduation present to myself. Walked into the dealer and told him I want a 636. He said "we have one right here. It just got delivered." It had show room lights giving it the "heaven light" look. I didnt look at any other bike. Absolutely love it. Bought it at 900 miles and currently at 16k. It's a beast of a bike and actually my daily.
Have you done long journeys? Comfortability? How tall are you?
the man needs some answers
Update sir u still with us ?
I think my dood has passed away… rip
You good
Yes !! My beloved 636 finally getting some love from Papa Yam !! Confirmation bias baby 😂🤣. I followed the traditional path. Started on a Ninja 400. 2 years and 18k miles later I moved up to my 2021 ZX-6R. I first rode a 636 at a Kawi demo day and immediately fell in love with that beautiful combination of power and smoothness. It seems to be in fashion now for some moto vloggers to say that the 600 class not practical for the street and is only good for track. I must be doing something wrong because I have a blast one my bike and I ride exclusively on the street. It may not be the most comfortable bike to ride, but it makes up for it with breathtaking power and awesome handling.😍😍
It’s not that the 600s aren’t practical for the street, I think it’s that there are other bikes that are way more practical. I went the opposite path, starting on an R6 for 3 years then stepping down to an R3, then up to an RS660. I loved the R6 sound but hated riding, the R6 didn’t want to just chill out. Went down to the R3 and really honed my skills as a rider, then up to the Aprilia. Both bikes ride at a great street pace, but will come alive when I want them to. Safe riding
Yea I started on a Vulcan 900 then got an mt07
@@claytonsautodetailing8070 i love that. you put your ego aside when you switched to the r3 and most people wont do that.
@@claytonsautodetailing8070 I kind of went a similar route, I started on a R6 but knew immediately that it had too much power for me as a beginner so I searched around and found out about the naked SV650 that I have now as a daily rider. Its a perfect street bike for me, has very smooth power, definitely not as much as my R6 but that’s okay with me, the seating position is a little better for me, it handles great around tight corners and I’m still able to pop it up in first second and even third 🤙🏽
I own a 600cc supersport and it's definitely not as streetable as my old ninja 400, if I could do it again I'd probably rather go rs660 as my second bike
Did 45k miles in 2 years on my 13' 636, loved every minute of it. Got an R1 as a daily now but looking to get another 636 to track
34 on a '21 ZX6R and I daily it - as comfortable as my mt07, no - but looking like Trinity on a sports bike makes up for it in spades!
Damn you got both my dream bikes lol
Same, except I don’t turn 34 until February. And that’s in Pennsylvania where it gets super cold this time of year
I used to ride my buddies 2016 636 which was pretty nice and wasnt too bad coming off my z650 at the time. I rode the 2020 and holy nips was that thing a tight squeeze. Not as bad as the new r6 before they took out the street model, but at 6'3" my knees werent feeling it.. i'll go for a 2017 and older
how much tall are you?
No way. I'm30, and I bought a 21 ZX6R KRT last year. Easily one of the least comfortable bikes I've owned. I can be comfortable on my FZ09 all day.
5:00 DEFINETELY SMOOTH!
Went from a 22 MT-09 to a 22 ZX6R and I can tell, the MT09 is a bike that hates you with all of it's soul, you get on the throttle and the bike tries to kill you right away.
While the ZX6R likes being ridden, you get on the throttle and she goes like "Alright my boy, let's yeet into the sun together", and the twisties... Oh this bike feels so good at the side of the tire!
aight boi lets yeet xD
Yeeeeted
i mean if you have it in ride mode 1 of course it will want you dead lmao
@@gavin3810 I used to Ride all of, A.K.A. Mode S(uicidal) haha
Laughs in owning an mt09 for 5 years
I rode a zx6r today for the first time at a Kawasaki demo day. I fell in love with it. I'll definitely will be getting one soon.
I love my 2014 white zx6r. Have it for nearly 3yrs now. I even got wheels powder coated green, got custom plate with my name... loving it. I ride to work 3,4 days a week...ride with mates maybe couple of times a month. All Gs
Went with the highlighter orange 2020 ZX-6R a few years back. I can't believe how easy it is to ride and what a change it is from my Monster 796.
Too excited to see this on the channel just bought an ‘18 in silver. Ready for every video y’all make with it!!
Best video ive ever watched... I owned a 2012 zx6r and i just bought a 2023 636 so watching this was a really good reference point!
I’m a newish rider (23yrs old) and i started ok a cbr300 fun but not enough power, sold it got at r6 and love it I’m lucky and the ergonomics for me perfect, I’ve rode 12+ hours in a day and had no issuers with comfort
I was 30 when I bought a GSXR600 in 1996, rode it every chance I had till 2000. My 50th birthday present to myself was a Ducati Monster 821.
NICE! I'm currently 50 with a 2015 Ducati Monster 821 and a 13 ZX6R!
My god the bike looks majestic in the sun like that. Green and black is gorgeous
I’m 32 years old, 220 pounds, 6.1 tall, and I own a 2019 ZX6R with 3K miles on it now. I love it. Sooo amazing! Very comfortable. It’s a SCREAMER!!!
Also, my 2019 Ninja ZX6R has Bridgestone S22’s from the factory which is a very respectable tire. The S22 is solid for sure, easily comparable to the Pirelli Rosso IV’s.
I am almost 50 and did 201 miles on this bike last Sunday. yea.a bit punishing but was eager to do it again. I enjoyed it immensely but took me time to find the power as you say.
TC and Powermodes came in 2013. it has been the same bike 2013 to 18. 2019 is essentially the same bike with an updated look. The forks are Balance Free Forks and AFAIK the first Supersport to get them. The throttle still uses a cable. The fuel cut causes the jerkiness during throttle transitions and overall the fuel curve really needs a lot of work. Enjoy the bike.
Started on the 2020 zx6r LOVED the orange and this bike is heavenly!
Great content! Can't wait to see you take it on track.
6 dirty 6. One of my favorite bikes I have ever owned. I have a liter bike but I would love to have a 636 again.
I love my 21 ZX6R, great all around bike. The 21 has a fuel gauge and quick shifter. Got enough top speed for me and really fun in the curves!
Would you recommend this for a beginner I really want one and I’ll be stretching it a bit
@@AP-wu1rv For a first bike? No.
@@AP-wu1rv if you have throttle control, most definitely. I started on a gsxr 750 due to my sz but if you have self control, I’d say so
@@ganja4229 well idk if I have control because I never been on a bike
@@AP-wu1rv I’d recommend taking a msf course. Learn the basics and take it from there. Could always get a zx6r and put it in low power mode and baby it until you get comfortable. But having no experience, I’d play it save and start on something smaller
I’ve just gotten my first bike about 2 months ago, a ninja 300. Although it’s quicker than many people give it credit for I can already tell that I’m gonna want some more power. Might have to go with this zx6r.. it looks sweet af
AMEN!! JUST GOT MY 2021 KRT 636 HANDS DOWN A BEAST!!!!! Very usable power band for the streets 👌
I waited for this a long time
I am 50 y.o., I ride zx6r on a daily basis, and I am in love with this bike. During the week my rides are quite short, and on weekends, I ride 150-200 mile. True, I would not join a whole day trip with this bike.
What's your height?
@@pierresotomayor9633 183
I'm 4 mins in and in fairness, the stock exhaust is grand it sounds great 👌🏼 lovely bike
Just got a 2022 zx6r. Traded in my 2015 Honda CB1000R and could not be happier.
Love the 636. First bike was an 04 now have a 20 same exact color. Perfect bike
I had the 2019. They went to a one tooth down front sprocket the year before. It makes a huge difference in the mids.
Sold it to buy a ZX14.
Got to ride this at ims and it was an incredible bike but terrifying (new rider) definitely learned to respect it for what it is and that I definitely am glad im not gonna start on one for sure(dont have a motorcycle yet getting one later this year) but I will say it was a blast but definitely deserves to be respected i also noticed while it was awesome to ride my back was killing me after I got off the bike
Went to a 2013 zx6r from a 650, absolutely love it. Worth every penny
on the same page! 2016 650 bout to cop a 2013 zx6r with abs as well as
@@germanocampo7527 Mine didnt have abs, which I kinda like. But 2013 zx6r is the last year they used the 636 engine so you get a few extra cc ;)
As an owner of a RE Int650, I think the performance disparity between my bike and this one really demonstrates how engine displacement isn't everything.
I've owned a Ninja 636 in the past and now own the RE INT650. I find it more fun to ride a slow(er) bike fast on public roads, but YMMV with age 😀👍
No, it's not everything, but this two are so different bikes, then you don't compare 😂😂😂
Every day when I drive my xsr900 I feel bad for you guys on your int650's lol. There's a guy in my subdivision who has an int650 and I can't ever help but think about how massively slow that motorcycle is... and hope that guy is going to be ok and hope he's not missing out cause my bike feels a bit slow to me most days on my way to work and I just can't imagine having any less power.
i think cbr250rr or zx25r can outrun RE650 on top speed
@@hilmiyahya3027 Probably. It's only putting out ~42 actual hp and weighs about 450.
Oh here we go again with another fast ass bike to ride and enjoy well mostly for us to enjoy keep it up please :)
love the 636, I own a 2015 zx6r and its my first bike super fun and glad I picked it up :)
I use my KTM 690R as a daily rider and it serves that role very well. If I want some superbike time, it's the 1000RR, and even if Yammie doesn't like them, I do. I'm old and I'm spry. I may be the fastest old guy in this town.
Someone stole my 2015 s1000rr, but all I can say is...I'm 6'2 ish and not comfortable on much, my roommates sportster is just too low (seatwise) for me, r1s have too low tank and bars, but the s1000 had it all.
I can lean my ab/lower chest area on the rear of the tank, turn the heater grips on, and get 40+ mpg cruising at 80. My back doesn't hurt, neither do my wrists.
We can argue about hondas or kawis being better "reliability" wise, but the bmw was the longevity bike for me.
Would've ridden one the rest of my life.
Just don't have money for another one.
Its a god-tier bike. The 2019+ comes standard with quickshifter too.
What about fuel gauge
@@spidasic6193 fuel gauges are for casuals
@@spidasic6193 Fuel gauges are for peasants
@@spidasic6193 yes they have a fuel gauge
@@JagMoto636 how's the comfortability for you? Cause I'm 6'3
Be safe out there Yam Fam! Blessings!
I've wanted one of these so bad for a couple years. It always seems that I run into some issue where it doesn't make sense to purchase one. These videos are such a tease.
My lord I can't wait for the track day review!
Met a dude who let me sit on his ZX6R and already I was excited, would love to ride one one day.
i always tell people you have to actually learn how to ride a 600. you have to figure out the bike and where the power is, but when you do and youre a good rider, 600s are sooooo much fun
Rode a 600 for the first time a few months ago. A buddy let me ride his R6 on the tail of the dragon. Can confirm, it was a ton of fun. Just way too cramped for me so I'll stick with my Busa for now.
09 Zx6r here. Honestly can't really fault it. Was considerably cheaper than the competition and less than half the price to insure. Great bikes that's for sure.
I want to get the same model as the one you have and can get it for a good price aswell
I own this exact bike and absolutely love it!
I agree with you on the engine brake. It is a bit excessive. You just can't let go of the throttle without feeling like your gonna come to a stop. My 1993 Gsxr was waay different in the respect that you could let go of the throttle and still cruise and basically roll as far as you would like to while off of the throttle.
To turn traction off, hold traction button down when on 3. I have this exact bike. Im 23, 5.8 ft, I daily this 50 miles to work daily. I love this bike
This is exactly the second bike i more than likely will be buying as a daily commute. Didnt think about the comfort til now. I got a sv650 and love it but on the freeways it can be a pain in the neck literally lol
Love the bike review 💜💜💜
Yeah, I road my 95 ZX6 E model to Indianapolis, a 2 hour ride. It wasn't fun except for watching the race.
I have a 2014 with an aftermarket quick shifter. I commute to work and honestly find it fairly comfortable. Enough torque and when you open it up 🚀
exactly and you can also have fun on the interstate/highways with 600s as opposed to these new dumbed down "sportbikes" like the r7
How tall are you?
Which quick shifter do you have? I have a 2013 and I'm looking for one lol
you don't need a quick shifter on this bike, just push your feet up on the gear shifter and blib the throttle, it practically does the same thing :)
Excellent review
Nice video! The ZX-6R is just insane🤩 I have the 2015 model with full Akra exhaust and Power Commander V. Love the midrange! Have owned both R6 and CBR600RR and they're tame in comparison. An actual real-life usable engine in awesome clothing😎
so do you suggest between those three for a beginner in 600 class looking for a usable torque at your disposal in the city when low-mid rpms to go with the Kawa? thanks
@@BEFORETHEMHYPEBEASTS Not knowing what bikes you have ridden before or your skill level, I would not recommend any of those 3 to a true beginner rider. With that said, for every day riding, commuting around town the ZX-6R is my obvious choice🙂 Much better torque when you need it and actually fairly comfortable for my length 181 cm👍 Always gripping the tank firmly with my legs I never have any problems with aching wrists, it all about technique. Have fun and ride safe!
@@BEFORETHEMHYPEBEASTS the kawasaki also has a low power mode which only gives about 65% power. You could start there and put it in full when you are ready
@@hellraiserrec19 from what production year?
Right you are, it’s between this and the RS 660 as my step up bike.
The hunched over, clip on lifestyle is the only way to go for me.
Truly love this bike. 🏍💨
Oops, started on this bike heheheh and im loving it! if your planning on getting one advised IT IS A BEAST!!!
34 on a r6 as well and it’s a machine!! Went from cruisers to a z1000 now my 6
This is it. This is my second bike, I can FEEELLLL it, gonna be a huge jump from my cb500, but I’m ready for it. Just gotta save up some more!
Great review
I got a track prepped 06, love the bike. Rebuilt it after buying it cheap off a squid.
Just picked up an 09 SV to do the same thing with.
I have been interested in this bike for a few days now, but now I am definitely going to buy one
My first bike was a 636 lol. Love it!
For what ever reason this bike is my goal in life, even tho I've only rode a Ninja 500 a hand full of times 😅
The ‘05 EX500 Ninja was my first bike. Good ugly little thing. But my ‘03 ZX-6R B1 636 is legit.
Good to have goals dude. Goodluck.
between riding a gsxr, magna and tbr in my stable, i honestly find my 05 very comfortable, on the magna and tbr, i feel way more comfortable on my gsxr. the upright seating position makes my back turn into a c, on sportbikes it feels like a natural "lineman" back.
Big ninja fan..currently own a 750 gsxr.. imo best street bike you can get..I'm gonna keep it 4 a while..stay safe ladies n gents
I have the 2022 version of this bike I swear it drives like a Cadillac I’ve hit so many bumps it’s so smooth maybe it’s set up different but it comes set very soft and it’s very comfortable the hunching over is not so comfortable but you can prop yourself up right when you’re just cruising
That was my first bike, I don't think it's for everyone to start on but I had a blast!
I learned to ride on a 06 ZX6R. I still own and ride it.
Great Bro 👊🏻
I drive a 02 ex500r love it been riding it for 6 years. 636 dream bike at the moment lol
just ordered a 2024 model in green. It looks amazing.
I have a 2013 zx6r with Diablo Rossi 3 , two brothers slip on with an ecu flash to match the slip on, a quick turn throttle and suspension tuned for twisties like lime creek and I absolutely love it. I went from a 400 and it has definitely help me grow and also humbled me . Would be cool to run with you some time , I’m Austin bound too
Lemme know when you’re in Austin bud, just got my zx6r I live out here
if only these went back to the late 80's early 90s looks these would be perfect
Cool video!
I had a 2013 ZX-6R and it still had the power mode and traction control electronics. I absolutely loved the styling on that generation as well. The 13-18 look so aggressive and dragon like. I feel like whoever designed the new and current 400, ZX-6R and ZX-10Rs took a huge step backwards. I did end up buying a 2021 ZX-6R after not having one for years and I still love it to death but man the front of it is just lacking. I can't stand the way the headlights and nose look at all but love everything else.
Couldn't agree more. 2013-18 is so much more hot, which is the reason I bought the "old" instead of the new ;)
2019+ looks more aggressive in my opinion, meaner,it's going to grow on you
My 13 looks so good, couldnt have said that better.
👏 thank 👏 you!
I feel the same way
And I’m pissed because they don’t even have that kawi green in the 2022 one!!! The options are a midnight blue and white
Wtf
I’m looking at getting a zx-6 in that range in the next year
Going from a 400 I know it’s going to be a major upgrade in power but I’ve gotten frustrated at how long it takes me to get to triple digits. Omg…. I’m so excited
@@heartworkbykitty7933 yeah, they kept the green for the slightly more expensive KRT editions. I do like the color of mine. I went with the teal one. It's very unique and it stands out. The highlighter yellow accents look nice on it. But I still miss the old 2013 I had. I ended up getting the 2015 anniversary fairings so it and it was gorgeous. Black, white and lime green. 💚
Finally some luv ❤️ for my 636
I just bought one yesterday! 2019 zx6r. Only 5k miles 😎. And you were 💯 right it’s my second bike came from a mt07
I currently have a mt07 and am looking into getting a sport bike to pair with it, how’s the bike still treating you?
@@treyroberson5988 love it. So fast so agile. Tires are super important I’ve found. Great bike totally worth it.
Bought my first super sport bike this past summer. Got a new rsv4 factory 😂, coming from multiple different husky super motos.
I completely get "committing to the supersport lifestyle". Between 18 and 26 that's all I had. It was definitely a sacrifice in some ways. At 31, I'm pretty content on my mt-09.
I currently have a 2021 636 and as much as I enjoy the aesthetics and the performance, I often think about trading for a mt 09 or mt 07 for comfort
@@hellraiserrec19 that was my exact mindset when I switched. When I was younger I was fine with the comfort of a supersport (or lack thereof). At 31, I wanted something more comfortable with hardly any sacrifices. The mt09 is great because it's stupid comfortable, and the only thing you're really sacrificing is 150+ mph interstate pulls. It still handles great and has plenty of power.
@@scottwitt7597 yeah they are great bikes. At this stage, 0-60 excites me more than top speed
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW MAGICAL AMAZING
Im about to pick this bike up as my first motorcycle tomorrow... i figure if im going to learn im going to learn the right way. Wish Me Luck
How did it go bud ?
Its not an electronic throttle. It is a cable actuated system, but its amazing.
Man that's the only generation of the 636 that I like 😍
What I notice many RUclipsrs say, about naked being less comfortable on the highways it's a matter of getting used to. Do it on a nice long ride, and you're used to it. Ergonomically seen they're more comfortable also, and if you want some more wind protection you can add a windshield afcourse, for me not ridden highways yet, I can't imagine it being that "bad" people say it is. ZX6R sounds and runs good as it seems tho! Nice to see and hear more 4 cylinder love.
I’ve owned a few bikes, went from a 2015 gsxr600 to a 2016 fz09, man did I love that fz, it’s like freestyle type riding, that bike was crazy nimble and the torque was ridiculously amazing, but it was just horrible on the highway, i do a lot of highway rides so I had to get rid of her and get a 19 zx6r, but man that fz09 will always have a spot in my heart. Nasty machine
Kawasaki really knows how to build them pretty, and that sound, that's some sweet head turning business good review by the way now and the riding back thing can't dead lifts atleast once a week help? Along with squats of course.
Trying to get a ninja as my second bike this spring. Yammy knows all🤣
Yammie awesome channel, keep going!! :) I want to ask you what are the advantages of the sports bike riding position over the standard one?
Better aerodynamics, you feel less drag at higher speeds
@@mohammadnashitsiddiqui2168 I think probably more stability at higher speeds as well :)
@@stefanopenrhyn1677 yes both for the bike and the rider
Maybe one day I'll buy one, but i upgraded from a '09 ninja 650 to a '13 ZX10R. And i don't regret it one bit. Next should be a ZX10R
Awesome video. 636 is my favorite bike. GSXR 750 video would be fun too
The inevitable step up from my 400! In due time
I got the 05 zx6 absolutely love the thing but looking in to this simply because I want a fuel gauge abs and a gear indicator 😂
my 2006 zzr600 just sits in my garage gonna make it a track bike one day
I own a 2016 Zx6r and I love it. I think it’s part of the fun it that it’s so tame around town then just bonkers high up in the revs. Pure twisties / track bike though. Can’t believe how many people are saying it’s so comfortable for commuting…. that is just a lie. You put up with it’s downfalls because it’s a damn sexy bike. A BMW GS, Honda VFR, any scooter etc are comfortable commuters, not this!
I agree. I just bought a '23 ZX6R and while I haven't even begun to tap the power available, the bike has a very aggressive riding position causing me to have a hurt back and hurt neck in no time. But the bike is so damn fun to ride you just kinda accept the good with the bad.
No bike in 31 years I got a new 2020 Z900! Lol.big jump, lol but then got a 2022 KLX 300 for street and trail, I wasn't ready for clip on bars, my next bike I hopes a 636 too add to the herd, WINNING one would be SWEET!!! autograph it too! Lol
You might like the Honda offering more. It's way lighter which helps with the 36 less ccs, and way more comfortable. Doesn't have the same problems as the R6. The new one is heavier than the old one due to Euro emissions. Comes stock with electronic steering damper. No quickshifter though if that's your thing.
fucking love my 16 zx6r, dropped a tooth in the front and now has fantastic torque everywhere
Lol what are the odds you are in austin travis county too. I saw the ambulance
I took a motorcycle course and I bought a ZX6R 2021. My first bike . I love it ! But i don’t recommend it if you freak out easily don’t have confidence. 👌🏽
Im thinking about getting one as my first bike if I have the opportunity but I'd keep it in the low power mode for a few months before I get used to it, is this a good idea?
@@Echuwe get a used smaller cc bike for cheap ride it around and learn the fundamentals for a year..... You will be far less likely to mess up yourself or your 636 if you have a solid foundation of skills. I cannot tell you how many people say they started on a 600 or liter and "survived" but almost all legitimately suck when the turns come up...
@@uthantdillon3896 I agree 100%
@@Echuwe Start small, it's much easier to learn to turn proper on a 250cc bike then a 600. It's also more forgiving if you hit the throttle a bit to hard when exiting a turn. Power modes do have a purpose (wet, snowy conditions etc), but nothing is substitute for ~150 pounds less on a bike.
@@Echuwe No. I started on a 2021 ninja 400 and I can’t tell you how happy I am with how light it is. I’ve come close to dropping it a couple of times but it’s so light that it’s easy to recover (about 360-365lbs after slip on exhaust swap). If I had started on heavier I’d for sure have dropped it at least once. The ninja 400 feels it has adequate power kind of like a Miata of motorcycles.
get heli bars for this makes the comfort waaaaaaaaayyyy better and does not compromise the supersport handing and feel much at all great for the street.
cool to see a ZX6
I just got a '22 ZX6R (KRT non-ABS), not my 1st 2nd 3rd ect bike. Wanted a nice competent track bike that didnt break the bank. Sent the ECU out to Chris Moore (Moore mafia) added a Sprint race air filter and an Akra full system. Speigler stainless brake lines, and Galfer HH pads Whole 'nother bike. I'd highly recommend those specific mods. May not need the FULL system on your bike as the 19-current bike I believe has MORE restrictions in the stock pipe that a mid pipe wont solve, there is a honey comb structure in the collector section on the newer bikes, not sure if yours suffers from that.
