@@okayowen The manual for my '21 said 4k to 250mi, 6k to 400, and "ride moderately" to 600. Literally no one does the first part because you can't even ride a slow highway at 4kRPM. Just ride it gently for a bit, or utilize a different form of break in if you even care.
@@okayowenNothing new there. Kawasaki have always had engine/tranny issues. I had a ZX10R back in 2006. Blew the motor and I babied that bike. Got a 2014 Z1000 and lost 3rd gear. Dogs were rounded out. Never did wheelies or beat on her either. Friends with new ZX10’s having electrical issues. Out of all the Japanese bikes, Kawasaki are the least reliable.
I didn't know which looks better. So I had to buy both lol. Mrs literally claimed my 40th 500 so looks like zx4rr for daily now. 2025 650 KRT I have deposit but Oct or Nov delivery (I tried so 🤬 hard to get another 500 40th but unless I pay interstate $1300 delivery and 30+ day wait which I said no due to wait time but I still might change mind soon)
I got this bike 2 weeks ago $14,455 out the door with all the dealer B.S. I have zero miles on it , had it delivered to cold and salty in the streets to ride it In IL winter....cant wait for spring ;)
@@AG-qf1ww Thank you for the answer, it's surprising because the handlebar seems lower and foot position higher on the zx6r. But I keep hearing zx6r is more comfy, is it because of the seat ?
I suppose it depends on the person. I own the ‘24 zx6 and a friend of mine rides an r7. The zx6 definitely sits more aggressive. But on the r7, I felt kind of cramped and I’m 6’1. The r7 is also lower, if you’re worried about flat footing. I don’t have a lot of time on the r7 but after riding the zx6 long distance, your arm’s definitely feel it. The r7 is a slightly more relaxed seating position but my legs felt cramped. All just personal things. Just gotta sit on them for yourself ✌️
@@FrenchyRider574handlebars are pretty low. I have spinal damage so the whole everything was a concern to me. Kinda bugging the muscles between neck and upper shoulders which are permanently damaged but had been getting a workout already anyway. Considering heli bars for a little more height. Not bugging my back at all. Otherwise the zx-6r is pretty fun. Just got it😊
I'm not sold on the new body styling, and the front end looks real chunky. The '19-'23s had a lot of mixed reception on their angular fairings, but I really loved them. Love my '21 in teal, but it's definitely hard to beat classic Kawi color schemes!
Love my 2020 zx6r krt. I heard the commotion but I loved the new styling. I started to look at these and you are right. The front omhakf of the motorcycle is alot more chunky because you can see they widened the fairings for the new styling and I guess they might have added hidden air scoops like the ZX4RR
@@nickhardner6691 how is it? thinking of buying this exact model. dont really care for the color scheme im planning on hopefully wrapping is and powdering the wheels
I can't get over the color of these new kawa. They look amzaing
I want one so bad !
They look like ass
Welcome to the amazing 1990s! 😁
The new KX motocross bikes have graphics like my 1989 KX125 had.
The 91 ZX7R was one of my favorites back then as a 14 year old. I miss the 90s bikes.
Reminds me of my '95 ZX9R
When I was a kid the ninja was still pretty new and had these colors in the 90’s. Glad to see these colors again.
the classic livery is so beautiful , even nowadays .
I really like how the 40th anniversary edition bike looks.
I remember the originals, love that they brought them back.
Damn,,that 90's livery so sick🔥
You're shifting wayyy to early ! Gotta get up there for power!
prolly doin it for the break in period brother 😂 not supposed to go above 4k rpm for the first 400 miles
@@40thzx6 4k ?? That would suck lmfao. Also, have you seen all the Kawis blowing up recently

The break in stuff is a myth
I have the Anniversary ZX-4RR, but I think the ZX-6R wears those colors the best. The ZX-6R is a beast!

Man the colored is so clean 👌
You don't need to pull the clutch in to shift. Just blip the throttle and shift up! It will go into gear without issue.
You don’t need to that. It has a quick shifter.
Supposed to be a full review? Guy doesn’t even no it has a quick shifter.
if u hold sel n down for 2 seconds you’ll activate the kawi quick shifter
The 40th is something different!
Will someone tell him that ZX has a quickshifter?😳 I can't listen and watch the way he changes gears🤦🏻♂️
It does …but unfortunately no blipper
good video but your shifting and down shifting needs some work .
Stunning bike
Ours arrived last week at the dealership finally. Australia Victoria
Dakz! Great videos, what type of go pro and mic set up do you use brother?
I love my 23 636 🙂 Its everything I expected, and more..

Ouch! Was it marked up?

michigan 13071
Thats going to be my next bike but Im still having fun on my 400 so far
is this in Amarillo, Tx?
Is it more comfy or less comfy than the r7 ? And which one do you prefer ?
I have a 2023 R7 and the 2024 ZX6r. I'd say the ZX6 is more comfortable than the R7

@@pitchforkpeasant6219 Thanks for the reply, is the helibar easy to install by yourself ? And does it make a big difference ?
The engine light was blinking your whole ride, dont buy that specific one! Someone must've done the pdi wrong
It’s a Kawasaki. I’m sure the engine is about to go out. 😂
