Dad Gifts 19 Year-Old Son 122 Bhp Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R: Good Idea? [Video]
The trend of gifting expensive cars and bikes has been catching up among youngsters lately. We have seen several videos where parents have either gifted or been gifted expensive cars and bikes. Here, we have a video where a father gifts his 19-year-old son a Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R sports bike.
The video has been shared by Vanshul Nagpal on his Instagram page. The video has been posted with a caption that says, “Thank you for trusting me ?❤️.” In this video, we see the young boy at a Kawasaki dealership with his parents. They are taking delivery of their new bike. It looks like the bike was actually a gift from his father. The boy seen in the video is probably the youngest in the family.
The family members, especially the father, look extremely happy with the new purchase. We are sure that the parents might have heard the usual question from relatives and friends: why are they gifting him a big bike like this at this age? The answer to that question is seen in the video—since he is the youngest at home, let him enjoy it. This shows the amount of trust the parents have in their kids.
The Kawasaki ZX6R is a powerful machine, and one has to be extremely careful while riding it. For a 19-year-old boy, a Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R can be too much to handle. It is always a good idea to start riding lower-capacity motorcycles when you are young and slowly transition to expensive and powerful machines.
We say this because most young riders are too excited when they get an opportunity to ride such performance bikes. They tend to ride irresponsibly or too fast and have no idea how to handle so much power. This often leads to accidents, and we have come across several examples in the past where people injured themselves while riding such expensive and powerful machines.
The comment section under this video is filled with congratulations for the young rider. However, some users have shared their concerns too. Some of the comments under this video include: “Don’t break their trust by speeding,” “Hope he has prior experience with a 300+ cc (Royal Enfield doesn’t count here),” and “Handle it responsibly, brother. That is one angry bike ?☝??,” and so on.
Coming to this video, the young boy seen in the video is actually an experienced rider. Although he is only 19 years old, he has prior experience riding performance-oriented machines. Before the ZX6R, the boy used to ride the Kawasaki Ninja 300 and Aprilia 457 sports bike. He already knows how these bikes behave, and we hope that he doesn’t get overwhelmed by the performance and end up making wrong decisions on public roads.
Public Road, Not a Race Track
Lately, we have been seeing several videos of bike crashes where riders on KTM Duke and RC motorcycles ride recklessly and cause accidents on the road. Once again, we would like to emphasize that public roads are for everyone and are not the right place to show off stunts and racing skills. If you want to race, look for closed roads, private properties, or tracks to unleash the beast.
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R seen in the video is powered by a 636 cc, 4-cylinder engine that generates 122 Bhp and 69 Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The price for a brand-new Ninja ZX6R is ₹11.53 lakh (ex-showroom).
