I thought I'd share pics of my 636 I picked today. I've only ridden 39 miles so I can't say much about it yet but it is awesome so far. The worst part is having to break another bike in, it's pure torture. :banghead: I'll miss my 300 once its gone though. I wish I had room for both.

Gahh, that fender is atrocious. Beautiful bike though, I'd have one if it wouldn't run me $2-3k/yr for insurance.

ya it sucks that the 300 has a better paint job lol

Yeah the fender is killing it. I didn't get a fender eliminator for my 300 but I'm ordering one tonight. Insurance wasn't bad but I'm 33 with a good driving record.

Thats funny because I like the flat white vs. 300 white. I wanted a green one as my first choice but my local dealers didn't have a KIBS version available. This white always caught my eye in the dealer though and its grown on me even more since I decided to buy it.

Gorgeous. If I were buying a middleweight today, that's exactly the bike I'd get. Great choice!

sweet bike!! That colour scheme is so sexy, saw the same one at my dealer yesterday... will be next bike! congrats!!

Thanks Spacepod. I tried to consider the CBR600R and the GSXR750 but this bike was packed with all the features I liked so the others didn't have a chance. I'm short (5'6" with 28" inseam) so I didn't consider an R6. And the 636 fit me well and I love the looks so it was a no brainer.

I like the flat white of the ZX-6R more than the Ninja 300's white. That's the reason I ended up with the green SE 300, I didn't want black, saw the ZX-6R in white, liked it, saw the 300 in white, hated it.

I'm not sure which I would end up with, a 636 or a 675r if I had the choice. I'm 22 with a good driving record, but insurance is crazy here in Florida. A lot of uninsured motorists..

I've heard the 675r is an awesome bike but I never saw one at any dealers.

Don't you guys have lax helmet laws as well?

That would be my go-to color as well if I were in the market for a 636...if
Do the whites come in both ABS/non-ABS versions?

 

[tfkrocks]

I was weirded out by the 636's (and 650r) half flat, half gloss paint job. Doesn't do it for me.

Yeah. It's somewhat well thought out though. You must have $10,000.00 medical payment insurance or some type of healthcare coverage that does not exclude motorcycles with at least $10,000.00 in coverage.

The 636 ABS comes in white, green, and black.

Nice bike looks good in white.

very nice, if it was mine i would put some extra decals on it though

 

[gidroe]

Very nice. Just curious.... did you consider a Triumph Daytona 675? I love the look and sound of the triple. Would have been on my shopping list for sure.

I never came across a 675 so I couldn't see if it fit me. I would have considered it if I could find one. It's a gorgeous bike and from what I read is the best direct competitor for the 636. The 636 was always the top pick for me though.

Yeah, don't see many around here. I had a brief ride on an older one....seat height a little tall but the sound of the triple was just magic.

Congrats on your new ride....I'm very jealous. That's not to say that I'm still loving every minute on ny 300se. Please keep up the posts to let us know how the new bike is going.

That's one good looking bike! Once you get some more ride time on it can you please post a review here?

It would be nice to have a fair comparison to the 300.

You've already dispelled one notion that insurance is universally and automatically astronomical on the 636.

Post back about things like gas mileage, mishaps, and handling. Is it a death machine? Did you get a million bucks in speeding tickets? Do you wish you kept the 300?

I'm being silly of course but I really am thinking of future forum members who will ask the same question over and over about upgrading. While every person has a different riding experience, your input will be very valuable.

Thanks Gidroe. The ZX6 has a 32.7 seat height which I believe is the highest seat height for the Daytona too. That is definitely my limit being short. Lol The 636 is narrow in the seat/tank area so I'm comfortably in the balls of both feet at rest. The suspension should settle a bit and it'll be perfect for me.

I'll he sure to give some additional feedback after some seat time. I love this forum so I will still be active here. I will definitely miss the 300 as its a fantastic bike for what it is.
