  • Don’t you ever get tired of reading track comparisons from guys that are riding at international race-winning levels? From guys who have been racing their entire lives and who drag elbow like it’s their job (literally)? Me neither, but the guys here at MO and I thought there might be someone out there who could appreciate insight from what a novice track rider might experience when comparing some of the latest 600-class supersports. The two most recently updated of which happen to be the Yamaha R6 and Kawasaki ZX-6R.

      Yamaha's paint sucks too. MT07, MT09 XSR700 AND XSR900. All these models have swing arm rust issues even if you buy new. Yamaha R3 has thin paint which is ruined by factory cover easily. DO NOT BUY YAMAHA. Don't trust me? Check out these bike's forums.

    Agree with this review. I own a 2019 R6 and I’ve ridden the new zx6.
    The R6 has a very twitchy throttle , especially in A mode. The R6 is difficult yo drive slowly in the city due to the high and aggressive riding position and the touchy throttle. The zx6r is the better street bike and the R 6 is the better track weapon.

    I've had the opportunity to ride them both as well and I agree, the 636 is more comfortable out of the box. The stance on the R6 is a bit more aggressive as mentioned, but not so much as to be a problem. I too would prolly opt for the 636 but in the KRT green. Both bikes are great though. I own a GSXR 600 btw, just so you understand my point of view.

    The R6 does come with a quick shifter. It has starting in 2017. The R6 is designed as a track weapon and the ZX6R is more street focused. The R6 rewards the skilled rider but punishes you when you do not keep it screaming. If a rider misses a shift on the ZX6R the engine and gearing makes it far less punishing of a mistake. If you are a track focused rider the R6 has the most 600cc wins for a reason. If you are a street focused rider the ZX6R is better priced, more comfortable, and engine and gearing is better.

      I consider your point of view but I hope now that stands not as for the Kawasaki's R&D for making the best of all 600-650 class superbikes.,& that's it. Considering the Power to Weight Ratio of them all, this ZX-6R dominates ,& when added with race kits then the 11 lb excess weight along with the tail lights and side light's all might add about 1.5 kgs or more & the silencer here is bigger with a Calatyst & made to meet the Euro 5 or 6 requirements, adding up more weight. But here the R6 needs to meet to the latest pollution standard's of Euro & Bharat VI Standards of India,& might be the reason why they have not launched their R6 in India since Yamaha's entry into India. I was also eager to buy this R6 but though after frequently enquiring them they have not assured to launch it in this competitive motor world as yet, Why ???
      But at the ZX 6R at competitive price & more powerful engine than the R6 will dominate the track race also & the rider's skill is all set to make use of it's power to win the track races also, as for it's power to weight ratio is far better than any other 600 c.c bike's hopefully. But this year I'm sure that ZX-6R has some changes to it further than the 2019 model. See it, & you would go for this ZX-6R.

      @@sridharc8084 I am from the US where the CBR600RR and GSXR600 are still sold. In the US we have access to all the 600cc super sport bikes. They are all very popular here. The CBR and GSXR have a hard core following. Yes I am very aware of all the updates to the ZX-6R. I agree the ZX-6R is a better street bike than the R6 because of the gearing change, the softer suspension, and the ergonomics. But as I stated in my original post it is a more street focused bike than the R6. The R6 is a very track focused bike. But with that said the CBR600RR is the best street bike of all 4 of the Japanese 600cc bikes. It is the lightest and most comfortable. With the GSXR600 and 750 being a very close second in ergonomics. The CBR is the most balanced still to date. Still to date the CBR600RR and Yamaha R6 are the best track bikes. They have more wins/championships than any of the others. Yes the ZX-6R is a good track bike, it feels planted and gives confidence to the rider. Yes an average rider will feel better on a ZX-6R because of this. The softer suspension plus the good brakes. Yes the ZX-6R feels fast on the street because of the little extra low/mid range and the gearing change. But you are never in the low/mid range on the track, or at least you shouldn't be. The R6 is track focused and that way for a reason. You are fooling yourself if you think the ZX-6R is faster on track. Again the average rider that does track day for fun will probably enjoy the ZX-6R more, but a more skilled rider will go faster on the R6. Yes Yamaha has not upgraded from Euro 4 as it did that on the R1 this year. I fully expect all their experience with that to translate to R6 changes in 2021. Not only did they make those changes to the R1 but with no HP loss, meaning there is actually HP gain with engine changes and with a full system and tune you will see nice gains on the R1. Yamaha may have some nice surprises coming in the R6, maybe even a new motor. Honda is coming out with a new CBR600RR as well in 2021. Who knows when and if Suzuki plans on finally doing a long over due update on their 600 & 750. As to HP on all the 600cc super sports. You can get 120HP to the ground out of any of them. There is no wrong 600 to buy. It is all about what the rider wants and what makes them happy as they are all good.

I'm in my 30s and a ZX-6R would probably cost me around 70 bucks per month for full coverage. It helps to have multiple vehicles as well. I have 4 cars and a motorcycle on my account and they know I can't drive them all at the same time so there's a lot of savings there.

    636 is soft as doodoo from the factory, soft even for the 150lb rider it's spring for. I put Racetech springs, low friction seals and new fluid in the forks, and did a Ktech re-spring and revalve on the shock for less than the price difference between these 2 bikes. Bike had been totally transformed. Brakes have way way more bite. The Kawi has a much roomier cockpit, you can slide back in the seat much more, and the power midrange isn't even close. My boy has a fully modded R6 and I'm heavier and with just a decat, slip on, and a tune he cannot keep up with the Kawi. Both great bikes, they just go about what they do much differently.

    @RTK171 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I have a 2019 R6 and the thing you need to know.. If your under 80kg you will find out that the springs are a little to stiff as the R6 uses the R1 front springs exactly the same.
    So the the issue is you have to dial out all of the front preload and compression. To get it to turn in and give you any real feedback.
    So the first thing I did was drop the spring ratio to a 8.5 nm spring.
    Makes a big difference and then you can stiffen up the front.. He's spot on about the brake is like a brick with feel so then we go into braided lines better lever motul RF600 brake fluid. And EBC pads...
    To really get the brakes to preform throw a brembo 18/20 RCS mastercylinder.
    Also another issue is the down change its pretty vague I use semi synthetic oil in 10 w 40 and makes a big difference for changing down..
    Like anything it's different horses for different courses.

He showed me the radar gun with 153mph clocked on it. I smiled and said, "Huh! I didn't think they were supposed to go that fast, I thought they topped out at about 149mph."
      We chatted in his car while he ran my license and was asking all kinds of questions about the bike. I offered to let him ride it, and he had a hard time turning it down.
      In the end, he told that he reduced the speeding ticket to 97mph because of the fact that I pulled over and stopped immediately when he flipped on his lights when I could have just kept going and disappeared. He was driving an old 1978 Plymouth Fury cop car.
      He said it would let me avoid arrest and would save me a few points on my license, but he told me that I'd have to go before the judge.
      I showed up for my court appointment, and the judge says the officer wrote me up for doing 79mph and asked how do I plead?

      LandShark503 - ZX-14R Motovlogs ...Good story. I recently got the blue lights for going 97 in a 55 zone. The cop wrote me up for 84 because I too pulled over. He said after 20 above it was several hundred more dollars in fines. He also said that if I just stayed in my lane he wouldn't have pulled me over at all since he saw I slowed down once I saw him. (A sign of respect).
      A few months later I had to outrun a state trooper who caught me doing triple digits in a 50 mph zone. (Triple digits they arrest you and impound the bike). I'm old enough to know when enough is enough. I sold it and bought a more mellow bike.

Don't get me wrong, once you reach 150MPH it seems like you hit a wall, but there is more and you really have to dig for it.

    4 months ago I went into a dealership with my mind set on a new R6, that Yamaha blue just makes me melt. But I ended up purchasing the Zx6r😂 somthing about that bike just told me it was the better choice due to the fact I will be st. Riding. The Kawasaki was just a more friendly, but it no way does that mean it’s soft. One thing I absolutely hate about it is the exhaust! Absolutely terrible, I sound like moped. And they run a little hot. with that being said I’m glad with my purchase. But when I see a R6 I always cring a bit to kno I could of owned a beautiful blue bike🤤

    The last few years of testing is beginning to show how well all bikes are made. It is not an obvious choice anymore. I buy what I want and price may be as 3 on the check list. How the bike looks is my number one preference. I can adapt to any bike style. How does the bike make me feel riding it is my second check box. I do rely on professional reviewers to help evaluate bikes. I never go for car or motorcycle test rides. When I make up my mind, I click and buy on line and have it shipped.

    Good decision you have made in selecting ZX 6R as far better than the R6 (though this about 11 lbs less, but lacks in it's HP & power to weight ratio). ZX-6R passes the Euro-6 & Bharat -VI pollution standards requirements as of now, but the R6 has not yet passed these requirements. It's not just the 600 c.c bikes but even about six 2-wheelers 150 c.c scooters of Yamaha sales has wounded up so as to meet the above requirements in India. I don't know why the Yamaha India is lacking behind in meeting to the environmental certification requirements. Sad though 😯
