    I had experience riding dirtbikes and ATV's, and my buddy started trying to talk me into getting a bike so I could ride with him. Initially I was the "research guy". I poured over forums, watched every papa yam video I could. I went and sat on bikes, asked every question I possibly think of. I finally decided to go with a Yamaha R3. I could learn and get skilled before I stepped up to a larger more powerful bike. Them one day, I was offered a naked 2007 ZX6R in trade for an old truck I had. The spirit of kyle took over my soul, and in an absolute chad moment I said fuck it and made the trade. Best decision I've ever made. Is the learning curve rather steep? will i probably manage to hurt myself on this bike? have I managed to accidentally rip some nooners? Yes, Yes, Yes. But riding this thing is absolutely the most fun I have ever had, and I couldnt be happier with it.

    BJN 6 I haven’t abused it or stunted it so it’s just always worked as it should without any issues. (Did have to rebuild front master cylinder but it’s been fine ever since) I even neglected it for 4 years and was going to sell it a couple of times. But once I would get it ready to ride for sell I would ride it and fall in love again. I haven’t done any crazy mods either, just a slip on, servo buddy, tank grips, and windscreen. I’m located in a place with lots of curves and mountains so the 600 class is plenty fast enough and the extra 36/37 cc is honestly perfect for my area. Also it seems the demand for 03 to 06 is on the rise and values for clean ones are going up.

I don’t like the sitting position on the Honda’s listed you feel more on top of the F4I and 600RR. The Katana was an outdated boat compared to the zixxer. And although the 675 had good low end grunt it just felt like it ran out of steam up top.

I love the bike and an “underrated gem” perfectly describes it. Power modes, traction control, and ABS while Yamaha, Suzuki, and Honda we’re still twiddling their thumbs. Then there’s the 636 engine. Laugh all you want, but the ZX6R puts down the most stock power out of all its compadres and it looks great too. I think the previous gen (2013 - 2018) is still the best looking 600cc sport bike. I have a white and black one. Beautiful.

Aside from the seat height ergonomics are quite comfortable. Besides, who really wants to be labeled a Gixxer Boi.... yikes.

Definitely put some money into it but at the end of the day was 100% worth it.. the powerband is crazy on this bike after 8k it takes off ,(take in mind tac goes to 17k) much love for Kawasaki

    Great video, although I wish you would have highlighted the 05/06 636 a little more. What a great bike. Mine never had any transmission issues that you mentioned. It was a much more refined bike than the 03/04 636. While I did also love the design of the 07/08, it was just so anemic in the motor category. My buddy had one and it just didn't have the punch that my 636 had. The 09-12 bike had a much hotter engine, that magazine testers really loved.

    I had an 05’. Wonderful bike, I absolutely loved it. But my 19’ feels so much better. The powerband, the cornering, you just feel so much more locked into the bike, and in total control. I also love how you can unleash the beast so to speak in turning traction control off. Even traction control at its lowest kills the bike down a big notch. But when it’s off and you rip that throttle, hold tf on 😂 my 05’ did 165, (dash said 175, so just seeing that alone added to the rush) new one will touch 163, but you can’t hold it there. Needless to say, the new 636 still feels quicker

Despite that, it's a bike that makes you love riding bikes and gets the attention wherever it goes. I'm switchin to a BMW because my needs have changed but I'll probably buy another ZX6R in the future!

    I love my 2004 ZX6R. 36000km driven, absolutely pristine condition. I prefer to keep it that way. Only problem is that, it might not be the best for everyday use. But boy is it fun to drive to work everyday. At 100kmh/60mph revs are 6000rpm. Of course the redline is over 15k, but it tends to draw maybe too much attention on daily basis. Also Finnish roads are not the ideal smooth asphalt after winter, but still i love it for my whole heart. Used to drive enduro/supermoto before, but after testing my friend 636, i messaged him 4 hours later. "Hey, i got one too!" Just do your mainteance, and its bike for a lifetime.

    2019 owner here as well. Traction control, ABS (a little more $), and a factory quick shifter. Got it with the $1,000 discount which went towards an extended warranty and frame sliders installed by the dealer. Bought it because I got my ass handed to me by a Dodge Hellcat while on my Yamaha FZ6R while at a stoplight. Overall was less money than the R6 and more power. Shift light is kind of lame though, the R6's is better.

    Man this video comes out just 2 days after a car pulled out in front of me and hit my white and black 2013 mint 636. Walked away with nothing more than small scrape on my leather. Was a slow speed hit as I was just coming from a stop sign and had not even shifted to 2nd gear. While I feel super lucky I am still so pissed. I have had so many bikes in my life and this has been by far my fav. Just the right everything IMO. Brought it up to the dealer Saturday and now waiting to hear what the cost will be. The driver who hit me did have insurance but still know I am going to have pay out of pocket for some of it. Frame sliders and rear impaktech subcage pegs saved as much as it could but front cowl, side fairing, front tire fairing, and rotor are the big money items. Not sure what the bike is worth but at any cost 90% is cosmetic so will see how it plays out with insurance. SMH
