                  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

                  Good For Riding
                  The bike is too good on highway’s but the problem is ground clearance, for every road hump we must slow down.
