    great bike I have a 16 and their identical in every form, love the bike, with a little work it really wakes the bike up ( ecu flashed, Dyno tuned) the addition of a Quickshifter and sterring damper)
    it's becomes perfect

    Nice vid bro. I went from a FZR400 right to a ZX11. Rode that 40 miles into LA for about 6 yrs. Sold that and didn't ride for another 6 yrs. Now I have my 2013 ZX14r and it was like coming home when I got on it. Like you said in the video, you are in control. You can go fast, you can go slow. These bikes are amazing, just don't ride over your head and have fun.

      Hey Randy! I am 5.7 and with a 29-30 inch inseam ( I have large thighs as well ) and I can barely flatfoot the Kawasaki Z650 with a seat height of 30.9inches, the ZX6R has a seat height of 32.7 inches so I think even I would struggle on that bike. There are however option for lower seat and lowering links for most bikes! I would recommend this website cycle-ergo.com/ and you can put in the 2013 ZX6R and your height / inseam and see how you would fit on it:) ( remember to tick the options ' put feet on the ground '' .

I took the MSF course and did really well and figured I can start on 600 super sport and be fine but on the other hand the 300 and 400 ninja is cheaper in both insurance and price. I am interested to know your thoughts. I am also 5ft8.

I also really liked the new R6 as well and actually test rode one during a Yamaha event, but it was quite more expensive. Could you tell more about what you preferred with each one? Thanks!

    I am 5'5ft and use a motorbike as my main transportation (1 hr total to and from work) 5 days a week. Currently I ride a 2006 Ninja Kawasaki ZZR 250cc. It's a fantastic bike, but I know riding long distances often at high speeds (100-125 KM) wears down the engine. Looking for something more capable of handling high speeds and long distance riding. I am open to upgrades. I plan on installing heated handle bars and more comfy seat if possible for riding in the winter. I saw this bike in the shop and am considering on buying. I was looking at a used 2010 Ducati Evo 848 too for $9000, but they are selling the 2018 Ninja ZX6R 636 for $11,000 new.
    Thanks for the tip on squeezing the tank with your thighs. I tend to lean on the handle bars when I was riding a Suzuki and boy did it ever hurt my wrists!

      I recommend the ninja 636 ...its cheaper to fix wen needed and it's very reliable aswell ...and its comfortable has enough power for long highway runs as for city riding it's also perfect ....it has power mode selection for high And low wich will help in city riding ....and suspension has 3 setting for street ..track ...and rain ....once you put a exhaust it sounds really nice ....I would recommend a quick shifter...unless you get 2019 wich just as nice in terms of riding not so much on looks lol........hope it helps in getting your perfect bike .....I have a ninja 300 ...zx6r and a zx10rr lol...all are great bikes reliable too.....but I'll be getting the new BMW1000RR OR V4R

    I was disapointed with this review. First of all, intro was bad, you didnt show how beautiful bike is at all, all we could see are some insignificant bike parts that 80% of the people dont even know what they are. After that I would suggest to you to come prepared, to read some history and information about ninja zx6r developement, what it used to be and what changed so far and why. After that be readdy to push that bike, we dont want to see you cruising around and waving your hands, we want to see what this bike can do... I know I sound like a little bitch here but I am telling the truth I was disapointed because I couldnt see anything interesting in this video and yet I find this particular bike VERY interesting.
