When I see an R6 I think of it as a girls bike, because honestly how many girls don't ride R6's? I can count Blondebomber that firefighter girl from florida on SL and roadrashchic already.

Even the 600RR which is basically prepped for racing is just a little too nice and shiny for my taste, I like the raw look of my 636, and the way it handles, not to mention you can get about 120HP out of it with a full exhaust PC3 and ECU mod so it's fast as hell too.
+1 I was wondering if anyone else thought that of the R6's. It seems every girl I know that rides has an R6. My wife actually has an 05 600RR which I think to be a bit girly also. I have a friend Matt "CrashR1R6" that stunts an 05 R6 and that bike seems to hole up well. I personally have an 05 636 I use for the streets and love it (all except the Ram air part that brakes real easy). Ultimately, I love all bikes, but to me the 636 is the bike for the streets.

Oh, and I love my Honda for the lots...I have slammed that thing down so many times and it keeps on runnin'

After riding both and owning an R6, I would say get the Kawi is better.

I love my f4i.. now if only I could get it to run right... lol

although I rode my bf's 06' 636.. and it is a beautiful bike... stoppies like a god...

and it might not be too bad for wheelies either.
I know Edub loves it.
It seems a lot of people have problems keeping their F4i's running right. I posted a thread asking questions about my F4i and there was several people posting they have the same problem with their F4i's.

When my F4i is running, it's an awesome bike, but it's very tempormental at times.

hahahaha.... yeah I can't believe it.. my gixxer has held up better than my f4i..

I've already replaced the throttle body and changed the spark plugs on it... but it still seems to have a problem...

so i'm thinking it's either the wiring harness... or the ground for the engine.. maybe even the ECU

or my tip over sensor (which wouldn't make too much sense) or occasionally my fuel line is getting pinched.. I have no idea...

but sometimes it runs fine.. like if I ride it normal.. no wheelies...

but once I start doing wheelies... it starts acting up... blah...

but you're right... when it's running right... I've never ridden a better bike.

Re: r6 vs zx6r

Alright. i guess it's my turn........

The truth:
1. I love my 05 r6 I have it done to the max...i have yet to have any problems with it (other than the subframe) easy fix tho..... the bike will come up good on both ends...nice and smooth in my 12's and in my stoppies and i have beat the living **** out of that bike and it still has no problems....

2. now the 636 or zx6r whichever...my boy has an 03 or 04 one of em...and he let's me rock it every once in awhile...that bike compared to mine....and i hate to ****in say it..but that bike is ****in smooth as hell ...my bike is a little twitchy in a sitdown...but when i pulled his up it was just there

so overall.......stuntin there both good bikes and both have there good point and bad points...so it all boils down to personal pref...but i would switch and go 636 if i had the money
