Question 636 -04 or -08?

Which is best for stunt out Kawasaki zx6r -04 or -08?
Which should I choose out of these two of the same price?
It is always nice with a newer bike. But I have heard that 08 is weak at low speeds, right?

To 08 are only race caps.

To 04, there is all originalparts


excuse my bad English

Re: 636 -04 or -08?

the choice is pretty much yours cuz there both awsome bikes! The 636 will take more abuse than the 6r will. The 6r also has low motor mounts that need to be reinforced becuase they break if you hit the ground hard.....if your startin out id go with the 636.....But if youve been ridin for a while, i would def go with the 08

And as for the low power on the 08....sprockets will make it good enough to pull up..

yea but its low end is still sucky with gearing. i hear you can get a power commander remap it and its a whole different bike.

i have both. 03 636 +10 in the rear and 07 zx6r + 20 in the rear...

i prefer the 03 all day.

Same price? Go '08, and keep it street fighter, then you don't have to worry about plastics. Then when you're done beating the **** out of it, buy some plastics for it and sell it for way more than the '04.

Re: 636 -04 or -08?

Also they have issues being streetfightered because of the ram air running through the frame the way it does. Plus not only do you have all the wiring harnesses but the funky looking ram air out there like a unicorn

I would keep the upper on it. thats not a bike to run sf. U would have to throw the cpu and everything up under the gas tank where there is to much heat for all of it. Its front heavy so use it to your advantage, thats why they endo so nice. Plus it look 100000x better

Thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard, all kawi's 03 and up have that, and the ram air in the center has no effect on it being SF out.

Why 08 is so cheap is it to register but it makes 04, so may of course not as much of 08
