New year, new bike!!

[06330i]

Well, after owning my fz6r for a little over a year, I finally gave in and traded her in for a new bike. I put a little over 10,000 miles on her and loved the bike, just got a little bored with her and was looking for more of a supersport bike. Anyways, I ended up getting a new 2012 Kawasaki zx6r. After endless research I decided the Kawi was the best bang for the buck. The r6 was super uncomfortable and the motor under 8k is basically useless. Cbr is old and outdated and hasn't changed since 2006, and I won't ride a gsxr because everyone has one and the current model is ugly. So I picked her up Saturday and already have 236 miles on her since we got some good weather this weekend here in Michigan. Anyways, just wanna thank all the guys/gals on here for all the helpful information you have provided and the hospitality, this is honestly the best forum I've ever been on (I even like coming on here better than the zx6r forum) don't think I'll be a stranger on here though I love this forum

I love the power on it (although I'm still in break in period), but I'm pleasantly suprised the low end wasn't too bad on it. I don't find myself revving it out from a stop and on the freeway I can be in 6th and not even have to downshift for power. The two things that really stick out on the bike though compared to my fz6r was the brakes are freaking amazing and the suspension is so nice. It is a little bit more of a rough ride, but at speed the dampening is amazing, the bike feels like its cemented to the road.

congrats man. can't wait to get some more warm weather and make it out your way for some group riding along the lake. hit me up!

deff man, its nice riding out this way, not too much traffic and theres a few decent roads with some twisties. I'm trying to rack some miles on this thing so I can open her up lol!

That was the first thing I noticed when jumping on my ninja for the first time was the brakes. The suspension is nice for hard riding. Don't get me wrong, the FZ6R was a great bike, but the Ninja opened up a side of riding I never knew existed.

whats your name on zx6r.com

and your first mod should be upgrading the internals on your damper

If its a 2012, it's not a 636. They brought back the 636 in 2013.

Congrats man. sweet bike

same as on here 06330i, and I do plan on doing that soon, the stock setup is still too soft. I need to get a fender eliminator asap this stock one is bugging me lol. I can't seem to find an integrated tail light with a built in plate light like the motodynamic one for the fz6r, any input on this?

Nice lookin bike!

Thanks for clearing that up I was confused there. I'm waiting for them to make another ZX7 as I miss my 92.

 

[06330i]

That would be nice, or another zx9, not exactly a liter bike but not a 600 either. I loved those.
