WOW! You get 5k miles out of a tire on a sport bike that’s amazing. I’ve had 28 bikes, 1 GSX1000R, 2 ZX10-R, and currently have a Hayabusa, along with 3 other bikes. I have never got more than 2500 miles out of a tire on a sport bike and even then the metal was showing. With the exception of the Hayabusa, which I got close to 4K miles. When I did track days I was lucky to get 2K miles out of a set of tires. I’m picking up the ZX6R in the morning. Be my 29th motorcycle. Did I mention I’m 3/4 of a century old.

Bro the tires don’t last because they are good and soft and sticky. Good tires last less long. What you think is a negative is actually a positive. If the tires were hard and lasted a long time they would have less grip.

7:44 is a fact. first 2 years riding i was on a cruiser and never really got a whole lot of compliments they were seldom , last month i bought my 23 zx6r krt and immediately started getting way more compliments. in just over a month I've been complimented more at stoplights than I did on a cruiser for 2 years.

For the rear I have a Michelin road 5(sport touring), and a Michelin power 5 in the font. I think this is the best setup for my 2020 636. The rear lasts twice as long as the front but the power 5 is really aggressive. With this setup you can go through 2 front tires for one rear tire. Saves some money and the road 5 in the rear has better wet weather performance vs a lot of the more agressive rear tires. The front is still super fickable because the front tire is more aggressive. I highly recommend this setup for anyone who commutes on their bike. I already have 17500 miles on my 2020.

I just brought home a 2024 KRT. I think most of this stuff applies still.. thanks for the review!

Thanks for the heads-up.

The bike is a beauty! Stay safe brother.

Glad I'm not the only one that felt there was something not right about the rear tire! I have the exact same bike (2023 zx 6r krt) and from the get go - the rear tire didn't feel stable. I thought it had something to do w/ suspension (I still might have to get it adjusted) but now I have confirmation that it's the tire most likely.

nice video, we hit almost all the same points. iv had mine a month and have about 3k miles on it

i got the 23 zx6r blue black and green one i think its beautiful.

I got same bike ❤it I've had a 05 gsxr 600 then a 2010 cbr 1000rr now this I love the bike

Just a heads up the bridgestone s22 is an excellent street tire fir grip, but if you want tires that last longer and still have decent grip you should look into sport touring tires

What kind of cameras are you using ? They look and sound good

Just got mine today😊

Thinking of getting the 636 as my first bike and I just can’t wait for it ti get hotter and for me to finish my MSF course.

Had the dunlops on my 2020 Z400 that came with it from the factory and can confirm 5,000 later and the back tire is bald, i wasnt really ever a fan of them to begin with when they were still new. Been looking at getting a set of pirelli diablo rosso's unless anyone else has some better suggestions

Hard launches or hard pulls chew up a back tire as much as burn outs. My tires lasted about 3000 miles on my Bandit 1200S because I couldn't stop 0 to 60 launchs, well under 3 seconds and I never smoked the tire.

What’s your 360 camera and mic set up ?

i personally love the analog display way more than the modern screens ( im 26)

Just start on an ex 500 under 5k rpm it’s a 250 over it’s one of the fastest older 500s out there perfect bike if you can’t afford the normal learning process of 2-4 bikes in a few seasons

Love my 636, I have the 2023 twilight blue colorway

Bro thanks for the video. Just picked up a 23 ZX6R - 636 Deep Blue Lime. Question, what brand is that chest pack you are wearing? How is it? Dope!

Super nice bike, looking at picking up one myself! Curious what frame sliders you added on / where you got em?

The new zx6r is supposed to have traction, lean angle and more can't wait to see what the new one has

I want to know about if it comes with tc wc abs lc

and 9:17 how you described the acceleration had me going LOL it's accurate.

Which helmet is that you got?

I would stay on any tires for 5-6k miles honestly. I love my bike and haven't any issues other than wanting more bikes lol.

Whats that phone holder on the tank?

The heavy compound tires that are the most high end like power fives from Michelin for example will only last you 5k miles, soft compound tires last around 3k, just so you know, that power of the 636 is tearing your rear up, how it is

6000 miles from a sticky rubber is a hell of a lot. It is a SuperSport bike. Not a touring bike. On my Duke 890R I am on my 3rd rear tyre this summer😂

Just bought a 2013 57000 klms. Its sick.

I have the same bike, and agree the stock tires were not good. Changed them to Michelin Pilot Power 2CT tires and the bike felt much better.

Where you get your vest

I had a 13’ 636 I can confidently say it breaks peoples necks when going bye.

Dude it’s a sport bike 5 or 6k miles is pretty damn good most people go through at least one or more rear tires a season

Go with the Michelin PP classic. That's always my go through

Hey! I’m your 200th like just FYI! Haha. I live in Utah and checking out the 2024 ZX-6R, have you ridden the Ninja 650? If so do you mind telling me your preference? I’m brand new into this and I’m having a hard time deciding, but I need to make a decision ASAP. Also, what are you recording with? I was looking into getting a helmet chin strap for my GoPro but I like how your camera moves around and I can hear your commentary perfectly. Thanks for this review! It makes my decision more difficult!

Currently trying to figure out which 600 im about to get so im trolling yoytuve to get an idea of pros and cons of em all. In the first few minutes im thinking damn that looks like poinciana then you turned on koa and went to the 7eleven on marigold 😂

The 2024 I’ve just seen coming out finally got the digital display now man. It’s a shame it came out just after you got this one. But yeah watching this video cause I’m tryna get a 636 as soon as I can.

I'm buying this bike soon. 😊 first bike ever

Hey Mike, I’m considering getting a 2024 KRT Ninja 650…was the seat more comfortable than your new zx6r ? Is the 650 a bad decision versus the zx6r or is it still a good bike in your opinion?

How was the ownership of the 300 as a beginner? Was it frustratingly low power ? Did you have any trouble on the highway or passing cars on the highway?

U from Stuart area ??

I would leave that garage opener at home, they make one you can sync to your garage that just fits on your key ring

To be honest, as a fellow ninja owner, had the 650 and the 1000.. most sport bikes dont get more than 5k on thr back tires ..that being said,, some are better than others

Man 5,000 k off a tire is amazing, the ones I use I get 3,000 off the ones I like the most

The battle axes are dope... they're for grip not longevity, if Yu want longevity get different tires

I agree that color scheme I the best KRT

Can you please message me and send a picture of where the headers connect I need a reference picture

Yea that original rear tire is a race spec soft compound rubber… grips great at the sacrifice of losing longevity…

Why are you using the clutch when it has a KQS

What kind of mic setup you runnin?

ZX-6R. Good Bike.

You’re being very vague about the tires.. what do you mean by better? Becuase you mention them not lasting long but also mention wanting something with more grip… you can’t have both.

Rear tires on sportbikes don't usually last longer than 8K-10K miles max. If you ride hard, much less. If you get a high mileage tire, your traction and handling will suffer. Welcome to sportbikes.

ALRIGHT WAHOO!

Factory tires suck!!! I have Dunlop Roadsmart IV. As far as seats get a Saddlemen seat most comfortable seat I’ve ever sat on 💯

I haven’t even hit 2500 miles on my 2022 😂

bro 6k miles??? ofc the tire is finsished

None of the cons that you mentioned are not cons.....

Want your tires to last don't get a sport bike their rubber is softer. My Concours 14 sport tourer is lucky to get 7500 miles on a set so 5000 on a true sportbike yep.

Aaaaa is gon keep goin 😂

The zx6r feels underwhelming. 636 became god tier name only because of stunt riders

Them bikes ain’t made for comfort , if you want comfort go 1400 or busa

Talking about tires in a review is like talking Bout oil. Everyone is going to have their own opinions on what tire is better. Tires are maintenance leave the tires out of the review.

blah blah blah yawn, get to the point

What a joke of a pros and cons list. No factual info at all just imo imo imo.

Get a f***ing tripod

I betting the baffle is left in the exhaust. I love a ninja sound without the baffle 🤤zx6r's are my favourite sounding 600's ever 💚🫶 so ride me faster bikes

take a drink every time he says "to be honest" , lol

Bro the tires don’t last because they are good and soft and sticky. Good tires last less long. What you think is a negative is actually a positive. If the tires were hard and lasted a long time they would have less grip.
