Default Jcyfun was right..*updated with a pic!!*

As some of you know, i recently sold my 02 f4i (on sunday) well, tuesday is bike night here and everyone was out and i was going insane. I sold it bc i work too much to ride, but i am sure i could find some more time now that it is warm out at night.
Tomorow i am going to pick up an 05 636. I am a true honda lover but they just suck for comfort. The kawi leans over a lil further, but i have decently long arms so i will be fine. I am freakin excited. Ill take pics if all goes well tomorrow!!
any one have any pro's/cons they would like to mention before i get it??

kawasaki . no, on the real my boy has one and they are good bikes. the bigger displacement does help oout a lot in power. enjoy your new ride. its a shame your not getting another honda.

Makes me wonder how hastily people make some of the decisions to sell their bike.

Slipper clutch, more displacement, more comfy seat? I would say inverted forks and radial brakes but honda finally got that right on the '05's.

i dont have pics yet - there is NO cargo space at all. I'm not even exaggerating. I cant fit a little t shirt in there!!! but anyways... its great, it is comfy except it took my wrists a few days to get used to supporting more of my weight bc it is leaned over much further than my f4i was. I got it pretty cheap bc the bf works at the "sister" dealership plus i got a tire protection plan so if i bend a rim or get a flat its free replacement. I'll take pics when i get around to it. I got the blue and the 05's look completely different from the 04's.. undertail exhaust, diff body lines... sexxxxx lol... its lighter for me to push around, but i still got stuck backing up a slight incline. Oh well! i am more than happy w/it

Good choice.I personally love the RR the best and that's why I bought one,but the 05 636 would've been my next choice forsure.Something I don't get though is why everyone makes a big deal out of the slipper clutch..Not like you have any use for it on the street,really.PS the slipper clutch was available last year too,on the ZX-6RR.The true Kawasaki track-*****.

nice bike! btw how tall are wrecked? my friend has the 05 zx6rr and he's 5'10 and its hard for him to flat foot the bike because the seat is so wide. im guessing they the zx6r and the zx6rr has the same seat.

I am 5'7 .. about average for a girl.. i can kinda flat foot it as long as the ground is perfectly level, but i have no problems at all moving it. The f4i i could practically flat foot and have 2 in between my butt and the seat, but the kawi is a def. no that

I prefer the 03-04 simply on looks but can't go wrong with a kawi either way.

So what did you pay for it? I'm looking at the same bike and hoping to get it within a month.
