I want to know the difference in term of performance between these two bikes. I own a 636 but ordered a 2006 Gsxr 600. Does someone have any experience with these two bikes? I don't want to be disappointed with the performance of my new ride versus my old 636. Also I want to know if the 2006 gixxer 600 have a lot of vibration from the engine?
Thank you
First off- WELCOME TO THE BOARD! ! ! :cheers
Check this out:motorcycle-usa.com article
It's a big 2006 middleweight comparo.
Looks like the NEW 636 and gix600 are within just a couple of hp and tq #'s!
I think you'll be VERY HAPPY!!!
-Oh and vibration. My bike is alot smoother and such compared to a buddies '02 f4i.
Like i said: You'll be VERY HAPPY ! ! !
I picked up a K6 750 a few months ago and I friggin love it! That said, I had a K3 636 that I rode for three years prior to picking up the 750, and I miss that thing a lot. I felt like I could ride the 636 much faster on the track. It was real fun bike to have out on the track. I don't know if it was just because I was so used to the bike that it always felt like I was riding the wheels off the damn thing. A well tuned 03/04 636 is the ultimate track bike IMHO.
Has anyone noticed that the ¼ mile times posted in Motorcyclist Magazine this year have gotten slower? The 600’s ran a lot faster last year when they tested them!
Example: 2005 ZX6R Tested in Motorcyclist Mag:
113.8 hp @ 13250 and torque 48.1 ft-lb @ 11000
1/4 mile 10.38 @135.6 mph
I kinda was forced to ride my friends 04 636 and he rode mine and he liked my 06 600 better then his bike. He just didnt ike the first gear bog, but who the fuck does when I rode his bike it feels like you just sit so much higher on the bike. IMO the 06 is a smoother bike and easier to ride and ride fast, and there is alot less vibration but kawi's are known for that. I came off the 05 636 and was really impressed the 06 is just a better balanced machine compaired to the 636. My 636 had 121hp at the wheel so my 06 doesn't have the kick my 636 had but you def. wont be dissapointed at all.:cheers
