                  Proud owner if Zx6r
                  Like buying this bike at this young age was a dream, and still feels like a dream. Bought this beast on January 8th and its been 11 months to be an owner of Zx6r. I choose it because its best in the segment according to power, styling, colour, maintenance and features. I have rode it to multiple states have done long rides on it, have taken it to Ladakh where i complete 3000 kilometer ride and also to Nepal, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand etc And soon gonna take it to the place it is meant for the Budh International Circuit. Yes! To anyone who asks me to suggest a bike under 15 lakhs or best in 600cc segment i always have suggest the zx6r, as being a content creator having 50k followers across social media, i have suggested a-lot of my followers to go with the Zx6r as its best in the segment

                  beauty with power
                  because of it looks and power, i once took it to mountains and it was riding smoothly at uphill, so i want to tell who are looking for a powerful bike to travel to hilly area like Leh, shimla or Kullu then go for it without thinking much positive and smooth, every one compliments me becuase of it looks specially the dark blue colour and even every one of my friend ask me to took them for a ride and they also compliment about its sound and power. yes if you want free compliments yes if you want power with asthetic looks it will catch everyones eyes when you ride it in trafiic then everyone will look at you and its power is amazing wow and its belt driven system made it more smoother

                  Experience
                  Amazing experience ofc its heavy and not for every type of road in Indian conditions. But it's an experience of its own to drive as the engine is so powerful and it's sounds loud and clear. It's design is cool as well but the best thing is the brand itself as they ensure safety and luxury at the same time. . .
