i want the zx6r but i hear alot of bad stuff about kawi
what do you guys think about the zx6? it will be my first bike so i dont need any bigger right now i have rode other peoples bikes
im not going to be out there racing it and messing it up i just want to ride

 

What year are you talking about? Are you talking about the 636? I have an 04 and I love it. You'll hear lots of different things. Why don't you just look at reviews and stuff. Google it. MCN, Sportbike Mag, etc. I would get a newer ZX-6, but I haven't ridden one. Go sit on one after you get your license.

 

yeah im getting my license soon and i will get the bike in a few months. it will be a 07 or 08

 

What kinda money you got? You gonna have to finance?

07 6r picture thread - KawiForums - Kawasaki Motorcycle Forums Scratch that, I'd take one.

 

i have read reviews but i just wanted other peoples view that i could talk to

 

yeah finance and i will probly be putting 1000-1500 down

 

and what is insurance like on a financed bike??

 

It depends on who you go through. You can go through your bank or a credit union to finance, or the stealership. Either way, you will usually have to have insurance on it. You can find ways around it, but I really wouldn't suggest that. Sometimes insurance isn't that bad. It's too much for the amt that I ride, but for someone in your case, you had better figure that into the equation also. G/L and ATGATT.

 

anything from the big4 is so close that theres no real reason to play the brandwars. ride whatever u can get a good deal on thats newer and you'll be fine. take the MSF course and wear all your gear ALL the time.

 

thats what i plan on doing no mater how hot it is outside i have seen to many people with road rash on them that if they would have been wearing there gear they would be fine.

i was thinking about going to froggys and seeing what they have for a good deal
