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

Motorcyclist Magazine June 2006. Comparo of the 600s (These are all 2006 bikes).

The ZX-6R shows 111 hp @13,000rpm v.s. the GSX-R600 at 109hp @13,500 (rear wheel)

Torque for the ZX-6R shows 48 ft-lb @ 11,000rpm v.s. the GSX-R600 at 44 @11.750rpm.

1/4 Mile for the ZX-6R shows 10.84sec @ 129.86mph v.s. the GSX-R600 @ 10.85sec @ 129.52mph.

0-60 for the ZX-6R is 3.37sec and the GSX-R600 is 3.48sec.

Have you considered the GSX-R750 as the 'ultimate cheater 600'?? More impressive numbers and more substantial feeling power for $1200 (MSRP) more.

It's not all about power numbers people!

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.

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
