Oh, I believe you that they're good. Out of all the 600s it's the one that appeals to me most.
I was just passing on what TWO had said.

You can get a new B1 for about £5k and it's a cracking bike. In black obviously...

I have a C1 and it is an awesome bike. Its just as good to commute on as to go nuts on.

My last bike was an 03 SV650s and with out a doubt these bikes are in a different league but I still love the SV and if you like your licence keep the sv. 130mph is just too easy ride at C1, where SV650 you had to be really on to achieve that speed.

The 636 based Kwaks have always had that extra bit of mid range, because of the larger engine size. I have to say it is probably the best loking SS600 yet, and according to the reports, it handles well, it's comfortable and it stops too.

I don't belive that having a powerful bike will mean that you are more likely to have an accident just because you lack experinece, as long as you have self control. My Falco was a beast but I very quickly learnt to respect it or I was going going to have a long period in hospital.....

Lee, you're just a hooligan

If you feel you can handle it, go for it, but seriously, I would take it for a test first before you part with your cash..... Just make sure you get the black one

Personally i wouldn't bother with a 600/636 four cyclinder, they're far too buzzy for my liking they allways sound like they need changing up a cog.

Plus if you dont have that much riding experience

They do fly.

They're nice looking bike though.

I been riding my 636 b2/04 model for 6months now and its getting better all the time
I had my svsk2 for nearly 3 years before changing up to this.
It is a great bike,handling & brakes are in a different league to the sv , as any of the ss 600 bikes are to be honest.
Best thing you can do is blag a few test rides on the different models out there and see what you prefer,there all good in there own way its just down to personal taste come the end,but the 636 engine felt better than
the rest of the 600s i test rode and come the end i prefer the look of the Kwak.
The C1 model has a different suspension to the b1/b2 models which is said to be more suited to the road,but ive never ridden a c1/05 so can only comment on what i have read but im happy with the set up on mine now and at price of about 5K for a new bike you wont be dissapointed with last years model.
