nice. I always liked how light and nimble smaller bikes, like 600cc are.

Re: my new toy
 

nice find for 3k. I've always wanted a 05 ZX6R :6

Re: my new toy
 

Just be careful.

Re: my new toy
 

I like my 636 a lot, i wish it was faster though. I am looking at maybe a gsxr 750 or a 1000 cc bike. I want something that will pull the front wheel in first gear.

Re: my new toy
 

your 636 won't pull the wheel up in first gear??? how much you weight?

Re: my new toy
 

145lbs. 600s dont do it too easily from what i've been reading. my friends 01 cbr 600 wouldnt do it either. maybe i just sit too far forward

Re: my new toy
 

145 nig? damn i thought i was light. I'm about 135-140 last I checked.

I havent forgot ya mang

Nice bike man, hope to get one myself eventually... Weather has been nice here on and off, every now and then going up to 70s.

Re: my new toy
 

im 165 and i have pulled up a 06 600 easily.. pick up a 750 they are perfect they feel like a 600 but have 20+ more hp which is a lot!

Re: my new toy
 

it all depends on how you throttle it, my 06 RR will barley pull it up in first gear on acceleration alone... a slight tug or blip of the throttle will yank that ------ right up tho

Re: my new toy
 

my 07 r6 pulls the front in 1st when I roll into it hard. just sit further back nignog :y

Re: my new toy
 

the 10-20lbs of speaker stuff i have in the front fairings probably isnt helping either. Maybe the 636 is kinda heavy. Im not sure why i cant pull it up on acceleration alone, if i rev to 7-9k, let the throttle go and hit it again, it usually comes up. i think im going to gear it. +1 or +2 rear

Re: my new toy
 

down one in front its cheaper. and equivalant to about +2-3 in the rear.

Re: my new toy
 

I kind of dig the color, you got a good deal

Re: my new toy
 

thanks for all the replies hopefully it wont rain this afternoon so i can actually ride it, i got to put around on it yesterday in the rain and me not thinking to clear put the paper tag on it and road down the road, and yea that didnt work out to good lol i come back and my dad was like wheres your tag im like :l but anyways.................
