Ok so i just sold my streetbike and looking to buy a new pretty stunter, i am stuck between two bikes the infamous F4i and the 03' 04' kawasaki 636. so the dilemma is i dont know which one to go for i have heard good things about both but i have heard that the F4i is a shitty bike for stoppies because of the fork and what not. . . . .i am about to just about go broke on buying a new bike and stunnin it out so feedback would be great! especially from someone who has or has had both bikes.

id get the f4i. bad for stoppies becasue of the forks? thats complete bullshit f4i has less power than the 636, but it is a WAY more solid bike.

old man roger

ppppffffffftttttt 636 is a way better bike period ive had both and the f4i doesn't even compare

balma

why doesnt the f4i even compare?

lemme pick your brain since you have had both bikes

old man roger

the f4i hasn't been updated in like 6 or 7 years it is old old tech and the forks are even older tech and they have no low end power and they are stubby in a staggered wheelie and they are played the **** out and i could go on and on but i'll stop there get a 636 03 04 05 06 all would be a better choice then an f4i


and with that said im off to change my front tire before all the bashing starts....lol

The 636 has more power, but is supposed to be more fragile. The F4i is stronger & supposed to be more easily manoverable. The throttle is also supposed to be less sensitive on the F4i so you don't have to be as smooth. Some people replace the front end of a F4i with 954 or 929 forks. Heres the best thread about F4i front end swap.

ha ha good input thanks homie:YEAH ive stood on the 636 staggered but havent gotten to wheelie one yet, does it not feel cramped? on the 03 04 it feels like the tail is diving right into me damn ankle. . . . anyone else get that ?

You can always buy one and if you don't like it switch.
A couple things to think about.
If you buy a 636 and you don't like it or break to many parts theres probably alot of people here that will trade.
If you buy an F4i and want more power, or a better stoppie bike, it will be harder to trade but you could sell it easily & save up alittle more & get the 636.
Alot of people here learned on the F4i, then when they get alittle better switch to the 636.
Just a couple things to think about.

well i learned how to stunt on my 04 600RR so im not a beginner or anything like that, just looking into getting another stunter and prolly hooking up a homie that only has a beat cbr F2 to stunt. . . .basically i am leaning towards the 636 but am having trouble finding a decent price on one here in seattle

nyRocketkid

If you can already stunt bro I'd go with the 636. I was talking to Arron Colton a while ago & he was saying also that a 636 is alot better bike, but it's not as good to learn on. This has been a big topic here & I've read alot on this & the majority say the 636 is better just more nimble. If I was not new I'd be getting a 636 no doubt!

And if your having trouble finding a 636 for a good price, make a WTBwanted to buy) thread. Post is the classifides here, and at stuntusa.
Theres a nice 636 over at stuntusa.com pretty cheap but it has a lean on the title so you would probably have to change frame. Its an 04, I'll get you a link in a munite.

here ya go bro!

thats in longisland not sure how far that is now that I think of it.

thanks for the help bro:YEAH i just want to buy a damn clean 636 that i can stunt out and have to my liking, i am wanting to get the pvm handbrake and clip ons , my paint sponsor is hooking it up with a super dope scheme. basically i am looking for the guy who has a clean bike that knows nothing about stunting and recently had a kid or money problems and thats when ill swoop in for the kill. . . .anyone here with a sprocket for a 03 04 636 for cheap?

either way you cant go wrong. ive owned a kawi 636, awesome bike. good power and it was solid. but the f4ezzy is simply a honda, takes a beating but keeps on ticking.

balma

ugh so frusterating! i dont know what to do i am gonna go ******* insane! maybe just keep the 600RR and dump cash into making it a uber stunna

nyRocketkid

What's broke on your RR that needs to be replaced?

& If you want another RR I saw a minty one in the classifides mere that looks super clean!

the 636 is an amazing motorcycle.
