Jumping on the zx6r band wagon

p1noysta · September 24th, 2011, 02:32 PM

So I did it. I went to del amo motorsports today for their big sale and wasn't planning to buy a new bike. But saw the zx6r for 8400 brand new. Still wasn't sure but I got a really good apr rate and good deal so I jumped the gun. I'm keeping the 250 for my wife but great bike! All black
Ill post pics later

p1noysta · September 24th, 2011, 06:25 PM

here's a pic of when it was on the showroom floor. cant get the camera working. Very different from the 250. Way more power, brakes are super strong. Im happy with it

Cazper · September 24th, 2011, 09:40 PM

I rode a couple on the Ticket to Ride event... they definitely are incredible machines!!! Be safe out there and look forward to seeing and hearing more about your new bike

p1noysta · September 27th, 2011, 12:11 AM

Thanks it is a beast scared straight riding it home the first time but made it home with no bumps or bruises yay!

heres a pic of my first mod. A diy fender eliminator not as pretty but beats spending 100 bucks on one. Also put some led bulbs here and there. Can't wait to get a slip on.

and here's the brothers being reunited!

Trailerboy531 · September 27th, 2011, 12:14 AM

Damn, I was there too! Next time we all need to meet up before the sale, we have to stick together

Lil_Green_Demon · September 27th, 2011, 04:04 AM

Congrats. Bike looks beautiful.

Haha yea I tried looking for other 250s in that ocean of bikes they had. I tried looking for a good zx6r forum and none of them really compare to ninjette haha

ninja250 · September 27th, 2011, 07:03 AM

Yeah this place is better than the GSXR forums too lol.

Nice bike dude. Ride safe and have fun

massacremasses · September 27th, 2011, 07:45 AM

SEXY! lookin good. Id like one of these at some point

backinthesaddleagain · September 27th, 2011, 08:11 AM

nice - great deals on those ZX6R. They were just under $8K last year when I decided to get one. Of course I was a day late so I got the CBR with ABS for just a bit more.

Enjoy and be safe!

No **** lolQ

they had some damn good deals up there this weekend for sure. i all most pullet the trigger on the white Ducati MS while i was there. I decided i still wanted my dream bike though so i left before he gave me a final quote on trade in on my Fazer.

Trailerboy531 · September 27th, 2011, 04:08 PM

Those Ducatis were actually good deals! It blew me away considering I consider Del Amo to be far far away from "good deal" territory. I was there later in the day as well (forgot the only things I actually went there to get originally) and both Ducati 848s were sold. I was there at 6 in the morning, You could have had a good spot in line!

coondog · September 27th, 2011, 04:14 PM

Best half litre out there, and i say that at $9,999 msrp. Great, grow into it bro.

blink · September 27th, 2011, 04:31 PM

wow that is sexy

r311music · September 27th, 2011, 04:57 PM

Very nice.

I hoping in a year or so to join the zx6r band wagon. Although I'm more into the 636's with the under tail exhaust, but that all black is sexy!

Gurk · September 27th, 2011, 05:22 PM

Congrats!!!

Is there an R6 wagon? Cause I'm itching to be on it soon. Probably too soon but hey...

My 07 zx6r isn't a 636 and it has an undertail exhaust. Fwiw I think the 05-06 636's look great too. I actually think they look better than my 07-08 model; my model has better components though.

Yea if I can find one in those years, I'm sold!

You should probably ride one before you get one tattooed on your Gurk, which it looks like you're about to do

dang it. stop being the voice of reason! I wanna do stupid sh*t!

ninja250 · September 28th, 2011, 05:06 AM

You can always ignore the voice of reason. There is always more to be learned than what is known.

You're gonna need that R6. To keep up with my Ninjette.

ninja250 · September 29th, 2011, 03:39 AM

Figured all talk no action. Lol

ninja250 · September 29th, 2011, 03:45 AM

Hey btw... Are you able to perfectly position yourself on it first try right away?!?!
Moto GP pro from day one? Right?
Brand new bike = pro racer for sure.

It's alright guys. A fight takes at least 2 people

I'm way happy to care. Love ya (brotherly) KC. Have fun.

But let's not steal the guy's thread eh?

gogoKawi · October 18th, 2011, 07:58 PM

Congrats! I'm loving the matte black.

I wonder how many people have moved from the 250 to a ZX6. Kawi is loving us right about now...

@Alex can we make this the ninjette motto??

Alex · October 18th, 2011, 10:13 PM

It can be your own personal version of the motto.

ChaosFromAbove · October 18th, 2011, 10:43 PM

Good choice of a bike

...i got my slip on from D2Moto, i love the sound, and best of all? Only costs about $80.

PS: When you pull the stock exhaust i recommend removing the servo motor that the stock exhausts' buttlerfly valve connects to (you'll see what i mean), when you remove the servo motor you'll need to get ur hands on a servo buddy so it doesn't throw FI codes. Check out zx6r.com great forum for the 6s, and if u join my buddy who makes the servo eliminators will give u a good price on one. Just gotta PM him.

not really a fan of the under tail exhaust. There has been problems with some aftermarket exhausts getting too hot and melting the ECU lol.

O man! I wish I had known that sooner! I just installed a yoshi titanium cf tip trc slip on few days ago, I got a good deal only 200 bucks. Sounds good not much louder than stock. As for the servos I didn't know what to do with it, the slip on came with a servo hinge looking thing but I just tucked the wires in for now.

Haha, you can thank that giant cat near the rear tire for the quietness. Once you decide to cut it or get a straight pipe setup, you'll have to get a Power Commander 5 and get that bad boy tuned by a dyno pro...then you're exhaust will be effing loud.

just pull those wires off the servo, you won't even need that bar thing...the servo will prolly die in a few years anyways, but if you plan on getting a PCV, i recommend removing the servo and adding a servo eliminator and toss the PCV in that newly freed up space.

backinthesaddleagain · October 19th, 2011, 08:58 AM

Nice a couple guys were riding a new one at a trackday monday. We had some fun going around on the 600's. Good luck.

Haha yea for sure but that will be down the line. I'm happy with the sound now, I wasn't looking for anything too loud my buddy has a m4 on his and it's a little too much

Peanut_EOD · October 19th, 2011, 11:01 AM

I have the Leo Vince slip-on on my 09 ZX-6R with the baffle tube in it. It sounds great and its not too loud.

Peanut_EOD · October 19th, 2011, 11:03 AM

I also have the Akropovic cat delete pipe.
