Well, I've never ridden the 05's or 06's but let me tell you something. Those 636 bikes have more low end torque than the 600s....even on the newer bikes (newer bikes have more horsepower in the high end range). I imagine that means something to guys who do a lot of wheelies. For me, it means that I can punch past any bike in a turn (except the liter bikes) and do it with more control of motion and better handling than ANY liter bike!
And that's my

P.S. Many a track records have been set for fastest lap times on the 636s at various tracks in Texas.

Re: which 636 or zx6 do you like best???
Heres my thoughts.
03/04 - Strong subframe, **** forks, ugly wheels/swingarm. Gear ratio seems to be much shorter. bike seems cramped for bigger riders.
05/06 - Weak Subframe(not horrible though), good wheels/brakes, Tank is a lil soft on the bracing and difficult to dent? Pulls like a beast. Bigger area to stand, feels more spacious. Longer/diff gear ratio. Undertail exhaust doubles as a 12 bar.
07/08 - Weak sub, forks are good but known for blowing seals, now low/midrange torque, needs big sprockets and still has a ton of engine brake. motor mounts are soft as hell, well balanced size, solid tank great tail. comes with a good front master cyl. good brakes/swingarm. did i mention bogging and **** low end torque?
09 - ??? I can't wait to find a wrecked one from what i've heard..
