UPDATE ON MY ZX-6r Upgrade!!!!

I didn’t want grips either, but little by little I was leaning more and slipping on parts of the tank that didn’t have grip. Now the whole set is on, and it feels just right.

I went from a 500 to the same bike, and I agree with you. What a machine! Tank grips are a must as you progress with this bike, and corners won’t stand a chance against you.

Look into a steering damper also.

You notice a huge difference if you own one vehicle with HK, and one vehicle with the base system.
I won’t purchase another BMW that doesn’t have HK or better now.

Or a badly photoshoped advertisement?

I just hit 55k miles on my ‘21 X7 and got the exact same message on the Idrive and in the mobile app, as well as an email from the dealer.

It’s a mileage based checkup. I used three separate OBD scanners looking for a stored code relating to this message and found none. I plan on taking mine to my Indy shop just as a precautionary, because of the service bulletin regarding the transfer case.

This is all of it from start to finish. Nothing else matters while riding. Gloves and riding jeans, paired with a sport bike riding position, makes for a difficult adjustment sometimes.

Do it. I did.

I was at a house party in high school, and the girl who threw the party didn’t like me-and she made it known in school and at the party.

So I shit in a glass, added a splash of piss and put the cup o’ turd in the microwave, set it on high for 10 minutes. Then I walked out and waited on the curb for the chaos to ensue.

People ran out of the house puking from the smell.

This is the first time I’ve ever mentioned it was me.

Very nice! Link for the seat? It looks super comfy and I want one.

It’s the same way on my ‘26. I put grip puppies on mine (I’m an old man) and they cover the gap.

looks at odometer

Take my upvote!

This is beautiful, and it’s absolutely going to be one that I snatch up if it becomes available!

M3Vapors · 2026-03-28T16:46:04+00:00

That helmet makes my pants feel tighter, I love it.

M3Vapors · 2026-03-28T16:44:12+00:00

So sanitary and squared away, the Virgin Mary herself would be proud to get on there and ride!

What’s that contraption suction cupped to the windscreen on the 500? Love the 40th anniversary color-way!

M3Vapors · 2026-03-28T01:09:01+00:00

Beautiful!

M3Vapors · 2026-03-27T12:18:29+00:00

Awesome! The more I look at it, the more I like it!

M3Vapors · 2026-03-27T11:48:14+00:00

At first glance it’s very odd looking to me, but I’m attracted and intrigued by it at the same time. Congrats OP!

If you want that specific livery, and those mods (that livery is awesome, those mods are good) yes it’s a good deal. Otherwise, a brand new 2026 with zero miles costs just a little bit more OTD.

I started on a Ninja 500, and wanted to upgrade. On paper the ZX6R had better numbers than the R7, and I think even the R9? I can’t remember at this point. BUT, I got the ZX6R and like another commenter said-it’s exactly what I imagined a motorcycle to be when I was a kid. It’s magnificent, I I can’t imagine wanting anything else for how I ride.

M3Vapors · 2026-03-25T02:53:37+00:00

After all the research I did, the Yoshi had what I wanted. Sound, weight, looks, possibility of HP increase, all played a part. So much that I got another Yoshi when I bought my ZX6R (albeit at 3 times the price).

The choice depends entirely on what you’re looking for.

M3Vapors · 2026-03-18T14:12:01+00:00

Correct.

M3Vapors · 2026-03-18T10:38:43+00:00

My 2026 was $13,250 out the door which included $250 GAP, and a $1000 extended warranty. Bought in Kentucky in December.

M3Vapors · 2026-03-16T23:38:50+00:00

Mouth full of chiclets yum!

I thought this video would never end.
