![2020 Kawasaki Ninja 400 First Ride Review [GOOD or GREAT?!]](/img/tr.png)
I love the sound of a 600 super sport screaming.. It's bad ass.
Not many reviewers I would sit through a video this long for but this actually flows well and you’re genuinely enthusiastic and into it. 👍🏼
Once again a Cool review man, also love the scenery...well done, I give it the green tick of approval ✅ ...”pun intended “
I've have a 2005 registered ZX-6R b1h since new - still amazing 15 years later with approx 25,000 miles & still going strong ;-)
Hi motoman, love your video reviewing the ZX6R l!! I have just bought this bike and am waiting for it to be delivered!!! Unfortunately I’ve broken my leg so I can just look at the bike until I can ride it🙄 was looking at the R6, but from sitting on the yahama and all the review inc yours decided in the Zx6R. Thanks!😉
This was a damn fine review mate!
Sick content as always bro! True stories about the chicken out the bush 😂🇹🇭
Just got me a 2004 ZX6R!
About to take my BRCu course in a week and I'm pumped.
How is the comfort on this bike compared to other 600s? Cant decide betwern buying a naked bike or or this one.
Hi! I must have missed the important part. Did they give you this bike for such a long test ride? I have the 'M' in my TX DL, can I rent and ride a bike like this in Thailand, or do I need to have a local license to do so?
God bless You man!
You’ve been doing such a great job!
Thank you very much for your passion and your expertise!
Be safe!!!
Thank you mate
Excellent review. Thanks!
23:10 "Slowly head back to the dealer" he said 😂
Awesome video bruv. Question, wouldn't the Honda CBR600rr be a better comparison then the CBR650R? From my understanding the CBR650 is more a commuter bike, then sport so to say. Hence the raised handlebars, and lack of power. Great review 👏
Peace from PA 07zx6r
That’s a really cool dealership! I bought one of those this year btw
grate bike grate review thanks for the strait up view..
I own a GSX-R 1000R 2017 and recently i had the chance to testdrive a friends zx6r 2020. Suprisingly the zx6r was no revmonster but has power wherever you need it. And you can use the whole revband. Whereas the Gixxer has so much power, it is simply too much . At least off the racetrack. For me the Kawa is more fun to ride than the gixxer and if i find a nice one, i will change next year.
Recommend this for long weekend road trips or just short ride outs for a couple hours.
Lol I thought u we’re doing an Allie G impression - wicked!
I just found your channel and I am very impressed with it great job I look forward to seeing all your videos.
Thank you bro
@@motomanvlog
I would like to get my own channel this year if everything works out.
I would really like to keep in touch and pick your brain if you don't mind.
This is the bike that I am saving for.
I would love to get a ZX10R but I can not see that happening this year.
Best bike ever and always king in class!
VERY NICE BIKE
Cbr600rr
Wow! Great Video!
I keep watching this video... need more bro
Love this (older) video and I have to ask where your accent is from? One minute I think it's Danish and the next South African. I like it wherever it's from.Thank for video.
New subscriber here. Keep up the good vids brother.
Great review Mate ;-)
Thank you my bro
Just discovered your channel and really like your content! Have you ridden the new zx10r? How does it compare to the zx6r?
Thanks bro, unfortunately theres no ZX10R's for test here. I would REALLY love to try one tho, If I can I will no doubt
Love Kawasaki! Great video. All the Super Sports are sick though. I bought a '19 Ninja 650 ABS as my first bike, I love it but it's def not a ZX6R lol. In a year or two I'll get a ZX6R or something similar like Aprilla RS 660, you can't beat the price of a ZX6R though
Doug Clarke I done exactly the same thing bought the 650 2019 a few months back, great to get some experience but this is the one we aspire to get on 💚
Have a 2017 ninja 650 and moving onto a Ducati V2, keeping the 650 for commutes and date nights. Have fun and ride safe! I loved my time on my 650
Nightraid yourface how much do the Aprillas cost ???
I almost did the same thing. Got a Ninja 400, needed more speed, was just about to pull the trigger in a Ninja 650, but this grey beauty of a 636 kept calling out to me. Ended up trading the 400 for the 636!
@Kyle Register yeah, you gotta get a Grom. That was my first bike, a 2018 and still have it. Won't ever trade my Grom! Haha. I'm now looking at getting a 2009 Vulcan 800 for riding 2 up with my wife. I hear you on the Ninja 400 though, I absolutely loved it for the six months I had it, and I was sad to have to trade it. Wish I could keep em all!
Great video mate
Cheers subscribe and stay around for new vids bro
Well! First of all thank you for your description of the two bikes. However, in many parts of the African Continent Yamaha is blvd to be the most reliable and widely used Motor bike. It is also blvd to highly durable. Take for instance Yamaha 175. It takes up to 7 years for it to wither. It is driven thru very rough terrain and hardly gets tired. So I think Kawasaki is the bike for those who have goods roads to ride on. But honestly Kawasaki is not as popular as Yamaha especially in East Africa. Tnx.
great review, but i believe its a honda cbr600rr you are referencing.
Awesome review. I don't understand why you weren't wearing an armoured jacket however? I understand just wearing a t shirt if its hot outside, but if its cool enough to wear a hoodie, why not protect yourself as well?
Your right mate it was after a holiday out of the country so didn’t have all my gear just helmet. I pretty much never ride without gear my dude 🙂
Love kawi, one of the most underrated bikes on the market, along with suzuki. 💚
Kawasaki h2 and zx6r aren’t under rated. Specially zx6r is a seller.
Kawasaki is decent. Not great. If it's among best then why it's not in MotoGP?
Suzuki's machine aren't the most premium. Did they ever win MotoGP? Yamaha and Honda dominate MotoGP and no wonder they sell most bikes
@Kayvaan Shrike it's the premier competition. If you are not in there. You may be good but not among the best
@Kayvaan Shrike the big manufacturers are what now because of racing. In 1950s mount fuji annual racing took place. Around 200 manufacturers put their machine. Who have the best machine win it. That's how big 4 came to lime light because they had best machine. And slowly they captured global market also. So if your machine isn't in MotoGP or win it the probably your machine isn't among the elite. In 1950s 60s MV Augusta dominated MotoGP. But now last 40 years it's the big japanese 4. Occasionally Ducati.
This guy is reminds me of Recoome from The Ginyu Force
HAHAHAHA now that’s funny
Hahahahahajajaja
Hey Man! on that trip you made, whats your Avg/L fuel consumption on that stock 6R?
Sorry mate I forget to check that out. I should take note next time mate
Good review, however Yamaha should personally send you a MT09 SP to sort your suspension & throttle worries.
I wish bro
Bloody good vid mate! It makes me wonder how much better you could make an R6 if you just knock 1 tooth off the front sprocket.
Yeah that’s true, love these 600 sport bikes scream like crazy. Think Kawi did good with this tho I can’t lie.
@@motomanvlog yeah and that price is real reasonable too unlike many other bikes sold here lol. On paper the ZX6 has more power than the R6 right? Could you really feel it?
They are close if I remember right no doubt but this ZX with the gearing deffo feels more torquey
The zx6r has more useable power. The R6 has a higher top speed because of it's Peaky powerband.
oh man!!! you live in Thailand???? It's so close my place.
it's a cool video, well made. motorcycle and nice place in Thailand 👍👍👍👍👍👍
so, a Gixxer 600 maybe? And CBR600RR too?
New Kawasaki ZX6R commercial...Instead of "Let the Good Times Roll" its gonna be "When all you can say if FUUUCK"!!! 🤣🔥👍
Definitely seems to be the best value in the 600 supersport class. The price is great, and a good looking bike more practical offer in the genre.
I've been considering the cbr650r... but for the price.. could just step up to zx6r and get a real supersport for a marginal increase in cost.
How come you don't mention the GSXR600 in the lineup?
Suzuki not so common here mate
Really want this.
Luckily farmer joe never pulled out on me.... #MOTOFAM your questions are at the end MUCH love guys
That "farmer Joe.." and the, "chicken in the road while on a 1k in Thailand" and a lot of other one-liners were funny as hell.
I like the tour & review vibe.
Sweet bike and you're right, when choosing a bike you have to make sacrifices. Sometimes they just don't compare and we can't all afford more than one. Now I have to watch your CBR650r review, again. I want a do-all bike that's as close to an inline 4 sportbike that I can get.
CBR650r may be it or I'll opt for a used 2012 CBR600rr (allegedly the most comfortable ergos of the 6s).
Is it ok for me a new rider to buy zx6r as my first bike just want to enjoy riding it in the city but big no at the freeway and definitely i will enroll at motorcycle school.
I would say it’s too much but it can be done. I wouldn’t recommend it tho.
They must don’t have no traffic laws in Bangkok, I was scared for this dude , it looked like a car or something could jump out in front of him at anytime. Good luck.
I was more worried about a chicken jumping out of a bush and ending motoman as we know him. 🐔
31:20 for anyone who doesn't get the joke. :)
Which is why you don't ride fast like that on potentially congested highways, it's extremely dangerous considering the unpredictable behavior of Thai people. There are so many stories including one guy who was decapitated riding a big bike by going fast on an on ramp. I even saw a pickup slam into a fuel truck upside down at 110km/h and I had the not been in Thailand for 6months..... I rode a Zx6r in chonburi but I will NEVER take those kinds of risk especially when there are vehicles around.
ya it was very dangerous to cut thru traffic like that, you never know when a shithead will pull in front of you
I'm considering a Ninja 400, R3 and this ZX6R. I'm not a beginner. Have you ridden those and what do you suggest?
If you're not a beginner than don't get a beginner bike! I'm a beginner and I want to get the ZX-14r!
@@jonnmgo7524 well rest in peace buddy
@@gummybear41283 I got it 😂
@@jonnmgo7524 good luck 🙂
Hey man year later people are still watching.
i come back to this video regularly just to watch him rip it down that road
Wow, you guys pay alot more in Thailand for the ZX6R. I am in the USA, so obviously I expected it to be less $$, but not that much less!
I converted 430,000 Baht and it's $14,236 US dollars. Here the ZX6R is like $9,999. So you're definitely paying a premium in your country. .
Shipping cost plays a role
While in Malaysia its cost usd 19155
Doug Clarke In India it’s about $16k
zx6r 2019 cost $12.8k in PH
I love the ZX6, as soon as I get the disposable income she is going to be my new track bike.... But cruising the streets of Bangkok? I feel like a z125 is the best way to get around in that kind of traffic.
Yeah bangkoks a madness mate, check out my Hypermotard 950 trip in BKK mate was ridiculous
Does Zx6r feel like it has as much pull as MT09, just up top in the revs?
Torque is good mate but MT09 has a lot more.
@@motomanvlog thx!
What about GSXR-600 that bike is close to best value for money as well.
Hell yeah
Unfortunately these bikes are starting to show signs of poor build quality. My friend has replaced the ignition 2 times for a resonating buzz at higher rpm,the tail light socket comes loose inside the lense,and multiple small screws have fallen out of the body work. I was lucky enough to take some laps at Kaeng Krachan Circuit and the bikes lovely. That front brake is a beast.
Wow, good info mate and a shame to hear. Personally always thought they’d be hard to keep perfect when they rev so high. I guess you get what you pay for, lovely bike tho.
Idk about all that. In 2012 I bought a 636 zx6r with 9k miles. Went all the way up to 56k no problems. Still have it, but I also bought a zx10r now so I use that instead
@@jponz85 the 2012 is a totally different bike. I believe kawy's quality control was better back then.
2020 Cbr650r here.
Just had to replace my ignition !
Same issue.
The high revs are killing the pins and springs in the ignition over time.
Lol id love to have your life mate I absolutely love bikes and absolutely love Thailand
I miss my 2015 636. The damn thing sing so beautiful.
What happened to it?
@@pricky2770 sold it to a friend
Ju Ko buy it back of him
My fav👍
Beautiful bike, the ZX6R is my favorite of the 600cc class sport bikes. EDIT: I just finished the rest of the video - I love your presentation style and the review! "Lick a bum crack ya knob... Cherry cherry coco puffs!! " I'm dying, lol.
As a side note, I ended up buying a ZX6R after watching this review. I've been on the fence about my next bike, and after riding an R6 and being super crunched up I was worried all the supersports were like that. The ZX6R is perfect, not so tiny for tall guys but also plenty crazy for the track.
Best commentary on the 2019 Ninja 636 yet...LMFAO!!!
Why is it raining , currently in phayao, sun is scorching hot here
This was a month or so ago so rainy season mate that’s how long it took to edit this 🤣
Is the bike good for cornering ?
Yes, watch my track day videos with it
Should I go for zx10r or zx6r?
If your asking that question I’d guess the ZX6R mate
I would take the Honda CBR650R just because it is a Honda for reliability, dealers in Thailand and holding its value. Yep I am a boring accountant.
I agree with you that 650cc is the max you need in Thailand, actually anywhere.
Check CBR650R forums, there are reports of rust on engine and exhaust pipes/headers on brand new bikes there. I went to a dealership to check and saw rust forming on the same place on brand new 0 miles honda cb650r/CBR650R AND CBR650F. youtuber english biker dan has also commented on the corrosion which formed on his cb650r's engine just 8 months into his ownership. Make sure you're aware of this particular model's issues before buying a pricey bike.
@@nishchaylawrence4592 Thank you for that information. I shall check that out.
Nishchay Lawrence haven’t heard this before. It’s a bike I’m interested in so thank you for mentioning it
@@godsservant4844 good luck!
Is there a black version.
Yes there is mate
Damn i want this bike so bad, cant wait to pay my ninja 400 off to buy this😍
I’m trading my 650 ninja in for this on weekend can’t wait 🏍🏍🏍
@@toothlessrpm6177 i got mine about 3 months ago, i got an Austin racing exhaust for it an i tell you fam, this bike is a fucking monster, ive raced with a GSXR 600 And its nothing compared to this beast
That sounds sick :) was there much difference with Austin exhaust , I will prob keep it stock for a while not sure yet
@@toothlessrpm6177 i do notice a change in power, it goes higher into the rpms a bit slower so more power, the sound is unbelievable, you will guaranteed need a db killer on it becahse without it it sounds like a thousand cc bike or even more, you can still here it a couple miles away, you will blow your eardrums out🤣
hendrik van de veer thanks for that , I may look into one , I will see how it is first , can’t wait 11am Saturday 🏍🏍🏍
Did you get the 2020?
do you really want to compare this bike to a cbr650wannabeR ....
lucky there's no speed limit over there.
Is the R6 TALLER? I'm 5'5
FrosTy theNoob yes. Kawa you sit in more feel. Yama more on top feel.
Intro music?
Looks like san diego. Mount soledad?
Haha Ayutthaya, Thailand 🙂
i love elephants, but if you see one in the wild theyre wild and agressive animals which dont fear any other animal, these elephants in thailand get taken when they are young and are mentally and physically abused so they are made into slaves which is horrific, i mention this becasue i myself did a story video about an elephant and some of my viewers pointed that out to me so i researched it a bit, love your reviews and videos man
Nice bike :p
Bro I saw your test ride vid on it also. Congrats on the channel and the bike 👌
@@motomanvlog Thanks man :)
460k in thailand is about 15k in USD.
Here in the US, I see this bike for $12k, which would be 362k Thai Baht.
Yeah Thailand’s not cheap for big bikes unfortunately there’s crazy tax on some of the bigger capacity bikes. This ZX is a better option here no doubt tho mate
Don't forget where other 600cc sports bikes are around 12k and up, the zx6r starts under 10k if you go for the non-abs. It isn't a direct conversion since price is higher in Thai but the accessibility/affordability to such performance can't be beat.
£9k in UK if ul get a good deal
What year is this bike
2019
Way to sporty and and a ini mini screen, and then they say we made IT streetfreindly, i don't agree.
Ali G indahouse ZX6R, totally wicked, boooyakashaaa, aaaiiiggghht!!!!
What about Daytona 675r??🤨
Not for sale here in Thailand mate
How's the ergonomics for your long legs mate?
It’s not too bad mate, decent is probably the word.
Thanks for the video! At the risk of sounding like an old person, please wear proper riding gear, friend. People love you :)
But can it go fast on the streets?
obviously
what are you? a kid? even 150cc scooters can go fast as 70mph on the street, and here you are asking if a 4 cylinder with 128bhp can go fast on the street? its a track bike dumbass, what do you think?
I guess he meant can it go fast in traffic? Anyway, don't mind this jealous dumbass.
is this a reoccuring theme getting bumfucked in your videos first the monkeys bumfucked you then the cows in another video lmao i can send you some corks if you want :) awesome video as usual and i think my next bike is going to be a kawasaki :)
Hahahahahahaha animals got it out for me mate, can’t lie really wanted to buy this bike after the day was done
I would choose honda cbr650r in terms of practicality and road usage...
Anirban Ghosh the 650r is more like a ninja 650. It’s not a supersport like 636 and R6. Not the same category
@@jejelerider3278 - True. Honda knows this but people keep comparing it to sportbikes/supersports. It's more of a sport-tourer like the Fi.
Anirban - I love it but can't find a dealer that allows test-rides. No faith in Honda will get me to drop coin without riding it first.
@@salskars6637 honda is consider as one of the most reliable brand of motorcycle.
@@jejelerider3278 - No doubt. I had the 2013 CB1000R. I trust Honda but I need to experience the engine characteristics and ergos before I buy.
I've only reached 11 minutes into the video when I'm asking this so please bear with me if you've answered it later on - The lean forward riding position, how much pressure do you get on your wrists with your seating position at 6.2? Was it bearable, on that ride to the capital?
It was ok mate, not too aggressive mate and no pain at the end of the day 😊
@@motomanvlog Thanks for reverting. Cheers.
Just get that bike! Fits you rote
146 mph - not bad!
Yeah mate I was surprised
They'll max out at 165. That's how fast I've been in my 06 zxr6 636 lol
Yeah but this new one is geared lower.. So it probably won't go that fast, but not sure.
@@bwxmoto just change the sprokets
Just did a little digging because I'm curious. Ok so I saw a vid of top speed run for 2019 Kawasaki ZX6R. It went 261 KPH indicated which is 162 MPH. The speedos are always about 10% high or so.. 145.8 MPH actual speed. If speedo is off only by 5%, then it would be 153.9 MPH actual speed.
Check out YT chan "Over ride Magazine" and vid named "Top Speed Ninja ZX6R".
So looks like maybe the lower gearing does give it a lower top speed, but more torque throughout the rev range, which is probably where most people want it. Sweet bike.
I’ll take one for zero interest
How tall are you
190cm
@@motomanvlog Is it too small for you
zx-6r please..🤣
“That’s a noice woll”....Donald J Trump approves this message. 👍🏼🇺🇸
Hahahahahahahaha
555, good one!
In Malaysia its cost usd19k
Damnnnn
Too bad im from Malaysia too
R6 is only £9000 here and the zx636 £8000
splat
Cbr650r is not a supersport stop comparing it to then
Is it better than R6?
Watch the whole vid bro
Eating r6 for breakfast
Can you review your sweet accent
Can someone translate the intro for me pls
Not the cbr650,compare it to the cbr600rr.
Be careful 🤣
The only better deal is a used bike. And that is a better deal.
