Great video Spite, love the longer format in addition to the separate first impression video. I ride a 2017 636 at 6'4 as well, so I felt your pain in this video big time. I'm young and light so my back can take it, but on my longest rides the position can be a real killer for my knees. It's a help to put some weight in my legs to avoid that board of a seat, but holding my legs contracted like that eats away at you (the vibrations are probably quite literally grinding down something in there). It's an absolute trip to ride my dad's versys 650 - almost the same displacement, but a total opposite design approach to my zx6r - but I have zero desire to trade my bike in for anything else right now. Too much fun! I never ride for more than a couple hours so I can cope for a few more years.

At first I hated it, but then once I learned how to use my legs and stopped putting so much pressure on my wrists, I think it’s great. I love this bike. Best 600 for the streets. Also, tank grips make a great difference.

@Ben Orim work on core exercises. Most people who complain about the positioning of sport bikes have weak cores. Most of us have weak cores so it's nothing to be ashamed of, but once you work on it, your back pain (especially lower back pain) will be reduced greatly.

I definitely love my ZX-6R, but the handlebars aggressive stance for my height at 5'7" was a bit extra. So I swapped out for Helibars and lowered it enough to flat foot. No longer does my back hurt, or does it feel less fun. Now I can push it longer without praying for a red light lol.

I only felt like it was uncomfortable when I was a beginner. Once I got comfortable laying on the tank and lost my gut it wasn't bad

Just recently bought a 2016 ZX-6R and absolutely love it. Watched a couple of Dave Moss Tuning videos on suspension setup. Softened the harsh stock suspension setup, replaced & adjusted the levers, and adjusted the sag. The bike is now a dream to ride. It corners like its on rails and it no longer tries to kick me off when hitting a bump in the road (second kid on the trampoline affect). Using your legs and abdomen are critical to keeping your hands from going numb, plus the bike is so much easier to steer without the extra weight on the handlebars.

I ride mine everyday, to get the full on experience, only use the first 2 gears, keep it above 9000 revs, and no it is not built for cruising. yes is does want to kill you.

This is the reason why I am very excited to see Kawasaki bring the ZX4R, because I can have the fun of a sportbike, play pretend to be a MotoGP rider, without losing my license or put me (and others) in dangerous situations, if I ever want to go in the higher RPMs in the twisties. Hopefully it comes to Europe, or I'll be very disappointed.

Really enjoyed this spite. Great analysis of the bike and the different aspects of riding it. You have really done a great job and come into your own with your own channel man. Very cool.

I have a 2021 zx6r. I love everything about it. The looks. The sounds. The dash cluster. The power and rideability. The one bad thing about it, it is absolutely miserable to ride slow. When I’m on a long ride I feel great up until I get stuck behind a car for any amount of time. You definitely need to be athletic to be able to hold yourself up for a while and going fast you get that wind to help hold you up. Going slow it’s all on you. One thing I bought that is a life saver for long straight stretches on the interstate is a throttle lock. If you are confident enough to sit up and balance without your hands, you can do that for a few minutes to give yourself a little break

New format gets a thumbs up Spite! Keep up the great work! You have to be in shape to ride sport bikes, full stop. Core, legs, flexibility. You can't be a couch potato, jump on one, and expect anything but pain. Also helps to be under 6'. The ZX6R is an absolute gem of a bike on the street and on the track.

Wonderful brutally honest review. Loved it man

I used to daily a 2017 zx10r, including to buy stuff from the store, for 2 years. Had no issues other than the initial discomfort. Using the bike that way helped me to better understand how the bike handled on different situations (including rainy and windy days)

I chose the Z900RS Cafe for more comfort but still use a tank bag instead of backpack and a throttle lock to give everything a break every so often

Another solid video Spite. The ZX6R looks really fun and well put together. I ride a honda sport bike with similar ergos... If someone is thinking about getting a sport bike I highly recommend doing core muscle exercises every day or every other day. I also highly recommend grip pads on your tank. Once you have some core muscle strength and are able to grip the bike with your knees, it really helps with comfort on longer rides. Your lower back will benefit from core exercises even if you don't ride a sport bike....

I spend most of my time on my core, a minute here and there on the wrist, some time on the tank. Never felt tired or sore after more than an hour's ride. You look like you're tall with long arms, I'm only 5'8 with relatively short arms, so I can't even ride as upright as you one handed, I'm no athlete, nor am I in shape either.

Cool review Spite! Being a big guy myself at 6'7" and over 250, I can relate. I've found copious stretching prior to the ride, tightening your core, tuck in the straights, and changing body position frequently are your best friends. I've ridden many days of 100+ miles with 10-30 lbs in my backpack on a sport bike. Getting in the tuck + core tightening for periods gets the pressure off your shoulders and wrists. You nailed it - designed for the track so even if you can't go track speeds, you can do track techniques and save your body :).

I started riding again in 2022 after 9 years off. Got me a '22 Hayabusa and another '06 ZX-10R, but I'm yearning so hard for another 600, because those big engines are just too much for the road.

I put 2800 miles on a ninja 400 before getting my 2023 KRT 636... At first I thought it was a huge mistake because of the ergonomics...My 3rd time sitting on one was the day I took it off the lot. And it was my first time actually reving the throttle and riding. It was intimidating, specifically tight U-Turns. I had about 3 months riding experience. But I didnt care, I wanted to ride that bike so badly I told myself I would overcome any challenge. I stalled it the first time out of throttle fear. Then I took a deep breathe and took it off the lot slowly. Practiced in a near by bank parking lot for 20 minutes and then rode it home. Low power mode, traction control 3. After about 150 miles ergonomics started feeling normal. And after about 1,300 miles it feels like a glove. I love the bike so much!!! For me, it makes for an effective ride on public streets. I don't believe in bopping along on a cruiser. You have to command the road and have presence, constantly avoid other drivers with speed but don't let the enjoyment prevent caution, especially on residential streets where anyone can decide to make an illegal abrupt U-Turn or come out of a lot without stopping first. I'm very lane position conscious and avoiding being in blind spots. My m4 slip on lets everyone know I'm coming up behind them or to their sides. I'm extremely happy I adapted to my favorite bike. I highly recommend the learning to master the front brake. Practice using it on every ride. Learn how to ride while always covering your front brake and learn how to trail brake. Now, time to learn wheelies :)

So with a stuffed tank bag you can make it work, but as much fun as the bike was would I buy that bike or similar all over and do it again? Nope. Then again, these days I'm doing the Multistrada V4 thing, so can't fathom leaving the power+comfort paradigm ever again. Still, enjoying your vid and laughing as I recall my former pains through watching yours! :)

Great video Spite everyone aspiring supersport for the road boi should watch this before parting with their coin

Rode my D675 daily for 11yrs through my 30s, still miss it Loved riding it to work and back everyday, putting just over 100k kms on it

I own the same bike. It doesn't need power modes. The tc is nice though. I agree as a 41 year old dude that's in ridiculously good shape, it's still very uncomfortable to ride for long periods of time. Still love it. I'm a squid for life I guess. 🤷‍♂️ Followed you over from Yams channel by the way. Good stuff my dude.

I'm 49 and daily sport bike, but I'm in good shape.

really good reviews from this guy, me likey

Love channel man.

I just sub, keep going Spite!

I would love to see spite do a series where he gets into track riding I think it would be a blast to watch his excitement on learning how to max out what he can do with a machine

That headbang should be your intro to all videos!!!

I had zx6r 2020 at 50yrs old. For occasional rides it was fun and not painful at all. But I enjoy the H2 SX 2020 more.

I know how you feel. I had an 03 Buell XB9R and I was in my late 60s. I could ride 20, maybe 30 min. and I had to get off and stretch and give my old back a break. I'm 76 now and my Versys X300 is much easier to ride. The seat is not the most comfortable, but I can deal with it. Next up a Lifan 150 or Kymco 150 mini moto.

I absolutely love what subtitles say when engine revs, it literally says [Music] and can´t agree more on that :D

Just moved from the city. I had a cruiser because of straight roads and traffic. Now, I live in the hills with minimal traffic. I'm definitely getting this bike next!

Loved that intro 🤘🏽🤣

Format was great. I’m like you. I love those bikes but had enough seat time on those bikes and it gets uncomfortable for me after a while. That’s why I love my 21 MY 09. Filly modded and full Akra exhaust and tune. Making 126 to the wheel and 76 ft ponds of torque. Plenty of grunt for the roads and holds the twisties real nice. My next bike is definitely going to be the MT 10. Great video.

All these comments are from a year ago, but my 51-year-old ass is thinking about buying one, well as soon as possible. Super honest review. I've watched a couple dozen by now and I'm sold on the ZX six. My other choice was the 750. Less is more in technology, in my opinion. Super great and you're the first person to make me second-guess my decision. However, I am trying to force myself to more track days so as I write this comment, I've already sold myself back on the ZX6r. Cota!

That's definitely a great head bang montage

5'11 155lb and this bike is a perfect fit. I sit basically upright and am not reaching for the handles. I usually cruise one handed. I sit on the first 1/3rd of the seat, close to the tank. My legs are not uncomfortably bent. I can and do ride this bike for hours without any problem. Posting this for those who are similar size as me to not write of this amazing bike for a commuter. Go sit on one.

Totally agree with this, I’m 5’8 and the bike fits perfectly, to many people look to the internet to tell them what to do. Sit on it, love it, purchase. Then enjoy smiles per miles.

The metal intro is sick!

Just bought this bike for mu channel. It's actually comfy especially for a street/track bike. I'm 6"1 175 and I love it

As some who has a left leg injury, not having to shift as much is super nice.

I have actually thought about that bike, as a way to get this old man into the 130 & 150mph clubs at the Bonneville Salt Flats. I’ll wait for the video of your attempt at Bonneville.

Yes! Absolutely correct!! Got out of Super Bikes for a while, st2, Diavel!! And then Panigale V4s… I don’t use anywhere near what bike s capable of, but my reflection looks Dam good in store windows while waiting @ stoplights a little too long!! Worth it!!

Spite, when the weather breaks in March come to eastern Ohio. We have ALL the twisty roads you need to test a bike on. If not for the stuff no one wants 2-3 months a year it would be the perfect area to ride in.

Great video man. Makes me laugh because the ZX6 is quite a bit more upright than a lot of the other 600s. I don't disagree that it's not totally comfy but with my 675R once you find some corners you forget about it haha.
