                  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

                  Value for money
                  Best adventure bike in this price range. It's underrated and somewhat cost less than Transalp. Weight of bike doesn't feel, thanks to its low centre of gravity. If you want a mile muncher with off road capabilities, then go for it! Suspensions are also adjustable with rebound and compression damping. It will be the best bike you will buy.

                  It's more than worth
                  The bike is much comfortable. It will give Best vibe for adventure bike. It's more worth to buy in india bcz of the Indian roads. I went to ladakh trip like 1200kms and it's so comfortable and also has good mileage. In this price range I think it will be more practical to buy this bike. In this segment the bike's maintenance cost is also not that much.
