'21 ZX-6R here, and came to the same conclusion. Yeah, I've got a problem with the name, and I have a problem with the frame (fake twin spar plastics, are you fucking kidding me?), but other than that, the 660 is ALMOST what I want out of a sport bike. I love my bike, but there are things I would change, such as the jerky throttle. Maybe an ECU flash with decell cutoff disabled would help, but I most just miss late '90s, early aughts carbureted bikes. Been on a hunt for a good condition 2000-2003 ZX-9R for quite some time.

I raced a 2006 cbr600 with power commander tune and couple of mods and gapped him. We did 60 rolls on 2nd and 3rd gear. We also did a roll where he was on 2nd gear and I was on 3rd and still took him on. Honestly I thought I would lose to the 600 because it’s a 600 but we both were shocked of what the 650 can do.

@MarissaTheMuse Ай бұрын

Unpopular opinion…when you’re dealing with bikes that can go as fast as these, especially fully fared bikes…some extra weight really helps with stability at speed in straight lines and with very little handling cost if any. Especially if you’re wanting a fully fared bike, but it’s so relaxed you won’t be getting the normal Supersport rake and trail etc…some weight will help make up for that lack of straight line stability you would otherwise have with a proper 600 or 750

@gabrieltiso8537 Ай бұрын

If true, a very useful insight. I can get caught up on the spec sheet power / weight and then often feel disappointed when doing comparisons.. ultimately it's a silly concern

@MarissaTheMuse Ай бұрын

@@gabrieltiso8537 what do you mean feel disappointed when doing comparisons? As in compared to the spec sheet you’re not noticing the difference you expected? Yea that’s a common thing. Especially for horsepower. Generally speaking torque is what you feel, especially low down torque in low rpm’s, and horsepower is more the top end speed (gross oversimplification but still) but spec sheets also assume you’re capable and willing to ride like a champ when doing 0-60 for example. If you never dump the clutch or you do more of your playing around on bikes from 40-80 than 0-40ish than obviously the 0-60 spec is largely meaningless to u for your needs and you should be looking more to the middle and top of the dyno graph for example. As for stability, yea so the geometry is the biggest determining factor, a proper sports bike is super stable at high speeds and a naked or comfort oriented sport bike is much less so, that’s going to be true even if the sports bike weighs less than the others, but the point is if you’re comparing for example a z400 and a z900 or a r3 Vs r7 etc the higher weight of the z900 or r7 will make the stability at speed feel much better and the bike more planted etc. than the z400 or the r3 would. so weight won’t won’t make it as planted as a supersport but the heavier bike of a given design will typically be more stable at speed compared to its ultralight little brother which will get tossed around the road a lot easier at speed.

@@MarissaTheMuse wow appreciate the report and that makes sense to me. It's silly for me to be disappointed because I'm not a capable enough rider for it to matter.

All depends on what you’re looking for. Lots of great bikes right know. I have a cbr650r and love it. He’s right about the lack of low down torque but that’s not what I want. I’m on the “four lane” a lot and I want my bike to “cruise” at highway speeds easily and since it has a top end of about 150 mph then 85 to 100+ is a breeze for it. And it’s pretty comfy and that’s important for an “old guy” like me😜. I know Yammie doesn’t care for the cbr and I probably wouldn’t either if I wanted what he does. It’s all about choices.

@@mannybrar7501 It’s pretty good it’s responsive if you pull the throttle! I’m not sure how different it will be from a 300, but it’s definitely funnnn! You got more than enough power for the highway for sure! You should check out revzilla review on it. He hits it spot on with the review

@@mannybrar7501if you have decent miles on your 300 go with a 650 next or something more. The 400 is just about 20% faster than the 300 and the 500 is barely more than the 400.

I just got back into riding after being away for 10 years and recently bought a 2024 Kawasaki Ninja 500 a couple months ago and absolutely love the bike. However, most of my riding is highway at 80+ Mph and the poor 500 is screaming at that speed. I am considering upgrading to a Z900, MT09 or GSX8R. Its so hard to narrow it down but your video really helped. I just fear the Z900 and the MT09 will be harsh to ride at that speed with the wind.

@humbertogonzalez7505 Ай бұрын

Your comment is very interesting to me because I haven’t been riding for about 12 years and I’m considering the Ninja 500 or 650. Most of my riding would also be on the highway but I do have to put up with traffic and lane splitting is legal in California.

@sleeper.simulant7327 Ай бұрын

Just bought a Z900 Wednesday (used 2022, cash private sale) and at 80 mph it’s perfectly fine. Past 100 it gets a bit much in terms of the wind pushing your head back, and it’ll go a lot past 100, it’d just getting warmed up... But at 80 it is comfortable. It sits like a Ninja 400 I rode, a bit more leaned forward than an MT09 but not at all uncomfortable. The Z900 is an excellent ride, my commute is 100 miles round trip and I’ve already put almost 500 miles on it since Wednesday.

@@humbertogonzalez7505 The 500 is an amazing bike and I love every aspect of it. I have already put 2500 Miles on mine. I have the Red ABS model and it turns head wherever I go. I was concerned going back to a beginner bike was not going to be fun but I was wrong its a lightweight fun little machine that is more than capable of doing it all even 6th gear pulls to get away from trraffic. Only reason I am considering upgrading is I live in FL where if you aren't doing 20 over the speed limit on the interstate you are going to get run over. In 6th Gear at 80 MPH its revving to 8.5K RPM which is fine but I want something a bit smoother I can enjoy.

@EqualityoverEquity Ай бұрын

The GSX-s750 is a great first motorcycle. It isn't too punchy in the low end. It has good handling and brakes well. I'm sure you can say that about several of these bikes too. Respect the machine. And you'll save money on having to do a trade in on your 300 because your weight is the same as the bike's displacement and a firm breeze won't allow you above 55.

@Samuel-wq9dt Ай бұрын

Yammie, here where I live the price is the same (+-300) for R7, RS 660, Daytona 660, MT-09, Street Tripple, Z900, Duke 890 (MT-07 is a lot cheaper). CBR650R being 1k cheaper. So Aprilia would be your no1 pick here, right? I'm purely commute/track (50/50) rider and I have no idea what to buy :D

I wish you could discuss why fairings matter or don't matter. My Rider experience is anything above 50 mph is better with fairings. On a track, or a quiet well-known twisty road, The experience with fairings is vastly better for me, which is unfortunate because I really like the look of naked bikes. Aesthetically, I don't like fairings on motorcycles at all, but they feel pretty necessary to me. Am I missing something? I feel like you would have talked about that in this video if it were pertinent to most people.. but these are sport bikes, I assume most people are riding them sportly

@ragerider6283 Ай бұрын

Interesting vid. Some good suggestions but I really don't get global pricing differences like some of these listed. The MT-09 pricing in the States is crazy good. It's approx. £1200 / $1500 more expensive than the 8R in the UK. The Z900 is also about £1000 / $1250 more & the GSXS750 has been discontinued in Europe many years ago now. The 8R pricing & where it fits in the market against its competitors seems to make a lot more sense over here. The Daytona also doesn't have a QS, if that matters to you, & the build quality & warranty is inferior to the Suzuki. However, the Daytona does look better & the engine is more exciting too. Honda's a bit boring compared to the 8R imo.

@TsugaC Ай бұрын

Value is comprised of price, features (including specs), material quality, build quality, and warrantee. So, you'd give the Suzuki GSX-8R a value grade of a B or a B+, Yammie? What value grade would you give to the rest of the offerings in this video?
