  • Great Performance
    By  (I am an Owner) on Apr 08, 2014

    I recently purchased one of my dream bikes a Ninja 636 to upgrade from my SV650. It is a different animal having a 4cyl vs a Vtwin but the 636 has a great amount of powerand is still fun to drive on the streets when you get it over 6K rpm there is enough power to pep you around. The aesthetics of ...

  • One of the greatest bikes ever
    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 16, 2009

    Bought new in Sept 2005. Now, over 4 years later, it still looks and performs as new. Clean it with Plexus and microfiber only. Been to the track 9 times including once to Daytona. Never disappoints me. To the guy with the "Terrible Build Quality" review, you are crazy. It is built very very well. ...

  • Terrible Build Quality
    By  (I am an Owner) on Aug 23, 2009

    Picked this bike up 2 weeks ago from a dealer, had done just over 6k miles, since then its has spent 10 days in the work shop, rear sprocket carrier bearings disintegrated, calipers started vibrating so badly my hands went numb after 10 minutes riding, and clutch went badly wrong. This was my dream ...

    By  (I am an Owner) on Jun 19, 2009

    The overall comfort, performance, value, quality, and reliability are excellent. The power is the strongest out of all the 600's I ride with. The mid range power is awesome and there are free mods you can do to release 10 to 15 more ponies. I have never been left broken down because of the quality ...

  • Overall great bike for track or street.
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 18, 2008

    I've owned my zx-6r for 3 years now and I'm very happy with it. Its been used for dual duty on the track and street. With the proper suspension setup it'll handle very, very well. The power is amazing for a 600 class bike, the extra 36cc's really make a difference. I never had any problems ...
