Today I went for ride on twisties, where the speed limit drops quickly from 60 to 25mph in the curves. Acceleration on ZX6R is very quick and responsive. Engine braking itself is good enough when you are entering most corners. Brakes are not spongy or soft, at the same time, they not biting either. They are firm and reactive, with a good feedback. Overall, stopping power is outstanding.

As it already has an aggressive riding position, I didn’t have to worry much about the body position in a corner; it was leaning into the curves effortlessly. It seemed like it wanted to lean and go faster. Amazing handling.
And the time came when I had to make a decision – which bike to buy.
I didn’t consider choosing a bike based solely on power and looks, which I did on my last purchase. On the contrary, I started thinking about what I couldn’t do, or rather, what my life situation didn’t allow me to do on Ninja 1000SX. My goal was to go on long trips, which didn’t happen because my business didn’t allow me any personal time to go on long motorcycle trips. I was riding mainly on curvy, Texas hill country roads, for a max of 300 miles on weekends. Therefore, I decided to go for something lighter. So I checked naked bikes, such as MT 06 and MT 09. Though my first bike was a Yamaha r3, I didn’t like the Yamaha build quality of these aforementioned bikes. Aside from the build quality, I realized I was no longer a fan of upright riding position. I wanted something more sporty, as I wasn’t going to go on very long rides.
That left me with Triumph Street Triple R or RS, Aprilia RS 660, and Kawasaki ZX6r. I went for Kawasaki because of the beautiful design, Kawasaki’s impeccable build quality, and the four cylinder engine. Electronic features and the suspension were among the other things that steered me towards zx6r.
I am confident that I will be able to load zx6r on my truck easily and take it for track days. Well, what more do you want from life? As I say, riding is living.
Thank you for reading. I will meet you again in my next post. Until then, ride safely.
It’s a Sunday morning. What else can you expect from a rider? I went for a short spin in the community. I can’t wait to recover fully.
My first impressions: It feels very light and nimble. Of course, the riding position is aggressive, but it isn’t uncomfortable at all, for somebody who came from a sports touring bike. I am 5’11’’, the size of the bike feels just fine. It isn’t small by any means. No issues with quick shifter. Overall, it seems like a nice, little fun bike.
Two deer jumped Infront of my motorcycle while I was doing 70mph on the back roads of Texas hill country. I survived with a broken collarbone, but my motorcycle was a total loss. I really liked that bike. It wasn’t easy letting go of that bike.

After a little debate and deliberation with myself, as you can see in my last post, I decided to go ahead and buy a motorcycle. I bought it even before I completely recovered. I am hoping to start the physical therapy in a couple of weeks and start riding shortly after that. If anybody had gone through similar situations, please share your story in the comments section.
In my next post, I will discuss what options I considered and why I chose Ninja zx-6r 2024.
I tried seeking security and comfort. It was ok for a short while. Then it felt like I was killing my dreams. Dreams and working towards my dreams have been the source of energy and motivation in my life. Seeking comfort eventually felt suffocating.
I would rather accept the uncertainty and risk by chasing my dreams than to suffocate under the blanket of security and comfort.

Hold on to your dreams; they make life worth living.
