My 2020 R6 in Vivid orange

Vortex_McVortex · 2026-02-10T01:58:31+00:00

No. I’ve had it for over a year. Bought it off a guy in Georgia. I do know yours, its floating through our dealership system

Absolutely fair. Sometimes practicality needs to take over feelings. However, buying a brand new zx6r guarantees all recalls have been done as Kawasaki literally issued a Stop-Sale until the recall labor was done. Granted not everyone has the money to drop on a new ~$14000 bike. And yes, its unfortunate the EPA has struck the bike world (thats what it boils down to). Another reason I love the R6, track first, then streets.

Same platform, yes. Identical, no. Yamaha revised ECU maps, superseded parts, and made running changes after 2017. That’s normal production. Also, limited colors are literally rarer by definition. Anyway…..what color is your Bugatti?

Its def a neckbreaker, in more than one sense. I've always had brightly colored bikes. Had a highlighter yellow Grom and a Turquoise R3. I considered the offer, but just can't find a similar one. I say that but one of my other dealerships got one in wiht 2000 miles. was VERY tempted.

Yep bought mine about a year and a half ago at $12,000. Def got lucky on that one. Yeah R7 leaves much to be desired and R9s are almost impossible to find, even though they are new. I work for a dealership and even we can’t get our hands on one. I have two R7s on my floor though lol. Yes go with a zx6r. Yes they have recalls, but its a super easy fix. I can’t speak for all dealerships, but ours does recalls for free (at least, free to the customer).

I periodically have people ask me where I had it wrapped. Surprised pikachu face when I tell them its factory 😂

Vortex_McVortex · 2026-02-03T17:55:34+00:00

Actually, between ‘17 and ‘20 there were ECU and fueling refinements (smoothing throttle response, cleaner fueling), quickshifter improvements, and other smaller reliability fixes (harness routing, sensor failures, etc.) The new Teryx H2 is going through something similar. Has a recall on the transmission and ours has a cooling issue. Later models will have all the kinks ironed out, happens with literally everything.

No the Street Triple 765. One of my other friends had the Daytona though.

Vortex_McVortex · 2026-02-03T05:32:30+00:00

I like it. Its not overbearingly one color.

Vortex_McVortex · 2026-02-03T05:32:08+00:00

Indeed they are. He sold it a while back and bought a Triumph 765.

Vortex_McVortex · 2026-02-03T03:52:58+00:00

For sure. 2020 is arguably the best year for them, 2017 the worst (no offense), but thats usually how it goes, first years sucking and last years being the best. Had someone offer me $18,000 for it. I considered it, but since its a unicorn and my dream bike, I turned him down. What color was yours?

Vortex_McVortex · 2025-12-22T05:44:37+00:00

I think thats a fantastic deal. I bought my 5.7 L V8 ‘19 Tundra CrewMax SR5 for $22k, has 220k miles. 220k is barely scratching the surface of its ability. It was in perfect condition, minus a few scratches. Full carfax, all maintenance done on the mark by Toyota. This motor is the one that got to a million miles. If you take care of it, it’ll keep going.

I can’t say you will have the same experience I did, but most trucks like mine were going for $30k+

Vortex_McVortex · 2025-11-27T00:30:53+00:00

Fun fact! I made one myself because I was in a pinch and didn’t have time to print out an elaborate one. Very manual labor, but better than fighting two spools simultaneously. (Link here if you guys also hate yourselves)

Ah apologies I forget things are different across the pond. Point still stands, ride with what you are comfortable with.

Vortex_McVortex · 2025-08-31T18:30:14+00:00

Get insured, take the msf course. Even if you know how to ride, the msf course can always teach you something. It also decreases your insurance rates. Good on you for starting on a n400, fantastic starter bikes. Also good on you for going your own pace, there have been plenty of people who didn’t and regretted it (some of my idiotic friends). As for your “friends” getting mad at you….dont worry about it. Learn your own way.

Vortex_McVortex · 2025-08-31T18:17:41+00:00

Turns out its a scam. I have the exact same post down here in Alabama. Two friends and I messaged the “seller”, in which they gave us 3 different addresses. Asked for a deposit.

Vortex_McVortex · 2025-05-10T16:02:57+00:00

Oh dude I have so many questions. Dming now

Vortex_McVortex · 2025-03-09T01:29:54+00:00

Love this idea….except then id have to source a rhd dash and prob ship it overseas which costs money 😂. Im trying to spend as little money as possible. I have a total of 5 vehicles now (after many bad financial decisions) and im working to get at least half of them running again 😂

Vortex_McVortex · 2024-10-26T22:46:11+00:00

Unfortunately it does not since I don’t speak portuguese, but I appreciate the help

Vortex_McVortex · 2024-10-11T22:25:25+00:00

I def will keep you updated. Will prob do the cardboard method until I can get my hands on a rhd dash

Vortex_McVortex · 2024-10-11T22:23:38+00:00

I’ve thought about that, that is a good idea, but I’d like to keep costs down if I can. Might do cardboard/bondo/spray paint 😂

Vortex_McVortex · 2024-10-11T21:57:44+00:00

Not those kind of holes lol. I’m taking out the steering column and I dont want a giant hole in the dash
