Hello guys!
Currently, I am riding a Kawasaki Ninja 650 that is limited to 35kW. That limit will be lifted in a few weeks due to my age (23 almost 24). I am thinking of upgrading to a ZX6R 2024 or a BMW S1000RR 2020-2024. I am not entirely unfamiliar with higher-powered motorcycles, although I haven’t ridden a supersport before. I have ridden a bit on an MT-09, a Street Triple, and a Triumph Rocket 3. just swapping bikes for a bit with friends.
I will be using the bike for daily commuting and, once or twice a year, a longer road trip. My main focus is more on having fun than being comfortable.
Which of these two would you recommend? Do you guys have any other suggestions? I like the S1000RR more than the ZX6R, but I’m not sure if the powerband of a supersport is so different that it would be unwise to choose the S1000RR over the ZX6R.
For commuting and features I recommend a sport tourer. Much more comfortable still plenty of power and fun and lots of nice features. I went from wanting a GSXS-750 to a GSX-S1000 GT to eventually getting a Tracer 9 GT and I love the hell out of it plus since its not fully faired like a sport bike its more accessible to work on myself and replacing the few panels it does have is much cheaper if they do have to be replaced. The GT+ even has radar cruise control. Also comfy seat space for a passenger.
