The '05 636 is a thing of utter beauty, IMO, simply the nicest supersport 600 there's ever been. Including the Daytona 675. And it seems to work pretty well too, though I've only ridden the first of the 636s.
The 05 and 06 636's are the same bike though???

Is it? Oh dear. Must just be an incredibly unflattering photo then- I'd taken that for a new, uglified model.

03 and 04 ZX-6's are the same, and 05 - 06's are the same...

Im rather biased in my opinion on which looks better I will say that the B1H / B2H looks a tad more ****ed off... it just looks right as well! and yes, it does like to wheelie! even when your not wanting to, you know the fronts getting light, leave the clutch out slowly and early, or you end up going along on one wheel.... good fun though :P



it now has a seat cowl and the rear mud guard is on it... as well as R&G's I dont care if it looks good without the mud guard on it... I dont like having to jet wash my back everytime I go through a puddle!
Oh.. cant forget teh Remus thats now there instead of that oversized chimney pot!

At a £1200 cheaper than the 675 its priced well. Kwak also have their interest free 3 year deal on which will move some numbers - something more to consider.

Wow. £5999 OTR with 3 years interest free credit. Very nice!.

Or £4999 for the B1H.

That said I'd have been very happy with a B or C model as well
