Advantages: Looks Speed Handling Accelleration

Disadvantages: None

After learning to ride and riding an old Kawasaki GT550 (briefly I moved on to a Suzuki GSX750. This was a beast but nothing compared to my 2004 Kawasaki ZX6r 636. From the moment I set eyes on the bike sitting in the shop I loved it. It just looked mean, it's sharp headlights and gold grilled air intake between the front lights and the standard bubble growled out to be bought. So a short test ride later saw me return with a small deposit and my leathers. The bike is truly amazing. From it's accelleration, speed and handling, to it's good looks, smart engine and querky toys such as the lap timer and gear change light make this bike something I have only ever dreamt about. For me, finding such a good bike wasn't easy. I'm 6'2 and approx 18 stone but the 636 handles like a dream, out pacing many bigger bikes due to it's weight and ability to corner.

The only bad thing I could say about the bike is its crunchy gear box at low revs and it's persistent need to lift it's front wheel when the power is piled on.

With a second set of injectors providing an extra shot of petrol at higher rev ranges the bikes ability to perform at all speeds is evident.

This bike is a great all-rounder, I often take a pillion out with me over long distances and we both enjoy the ride.

Summary: Go and buy one, NOW!
