Didn't the 636 have a recall? Something about the front wheel....

Re: 636 or gsxr 600 04...

it said on that site the 05 636 has 125 horsepower! Is it just me or is that insane?
Seeing as the 03 gixxer 750 had 123, that's nuts at only 355 pounds dry.
How did they manage to increase hp by almost 20 over last years model?

636 has some dirty engine braking with just the factory sprockets. I'm impressed.

Re: 636 or gsxr 600 04...

Sounds nice. Kinda off topic but how do you think it would compare to a 03 or so Gixxer 750? Powerwis they seem almost equal, maybe even in the Kawi's favor, but does the 114 cc's more make up a lot with low end torque?
I've been looking at 00-03 gix 7's to get over the winter but now I'm not sure.

Re: 636 or gsxr 600 04...

When you talk speed and performance between the two 750 or 636, either bike will not have a large differnce. I mean these bikes are so powerful to begin with, hell I've rode with 1000's before on my 600 and hardly knew the differnce. Im just talking about overall quality....

Got any tips on how to build one of the fairing stays? I'm getting ready to pick one up and am gonna have to figure it out.

Just buy the vortex bracket. It is worth it!

Re: 636 or gsxr 600 04...

sounds like I'm still gonna go with the 750.
About that f4i, I think it's dumb that they're going less and less sporty with them, I have a friend that was going to get a new one over the winter but then saw the seat, the one piece instead of two, and now is going to go with the 03 I think. I think that's the last year they made them with the two piece seat.
It seams like they're turning the f4i into more of a sport tourer, not putting as much performance technology into it as they do with the other bike, like the rr.

they phased them out. they only had the single seats on the 04s due to the seats being left over from overseas
