Oops
Well, I got up to 13,500 miles on my ZX636. And instead of getting it serviced to include new pair of tyres , new exhaust valvey motor thing, new chain and sprockets and fork seals and 12k service, I swopped it in and am picking up a nice brand new green 2007 ZX6R tomorrow lunchtime.
God bless 0% finance and free insurance.
He he.
Pick it up tomorrow. It is big, and it IS clever.
still after another ZXR400 though, so see wanted section.

Fuel injected bikes will never have any charm Their nice enough to play with i suppose but i'd never want to actually 'Keep' one for any length of time.mongo wrote:the new 2007 zx6r when i had one i found was really similiar to the zxr 400! Not alot low down power, really similiar characteristics apart from a fair chunk more power higher up the rev range. Similiar riding position, its like an updated zxr 400, but without that zxr 400 charm...
Enjoy it!

throttle bodies will always win over carbs. Just ashame they dont come with programable and mappable ecu's, fair enough you can piggy back a power commander off them but using a laptop hooked up to control the fueling etc is just wonderful compared to arsing about with jets and needle heights and all that malarky!

It's green and has a tail tidy, of course. It's name is Ozzy.
Good start, huh, naming the bike.
Arduous task of running in though - no more than 5k rpm for first 500 miles. That's 60mph top speed I reckon.
Oh well, bank holiday weekend coming up, sure I can make that happen.
16.5k red line. He he.
It is like a ZXR400 cos it's got a plank for a seat, short reach handlebars and good seat height for my short legs. Well, one at a time anyway.
Literally just picked it up in my lunch break and rode it straigh tto work. Can see it in CCTV camera. Come out to play... it calls me.
Pics soon. And they will be lovely photos too.

I prefer the sleek look (more sleek than the previous one) of the new ZX6R, but I definately think the ZX636 has more useable power throughout the rev range.
I suppose the additional 37cc's were really great for the low down grunt.
I would miss not having that
The green is nice but, the new metallic orange is awesome!!

To be honest, my ZX6R has had a non-working exhaust valve motor for the last 3k miles. Made it a little more interesting. The result? Very little smooth midrange power and like a burst of joy at 7k then at 11.5k.
Oh, and lots of front wheel in the air stuff due to the lack of smooth power delivery.
I love the way the ZXR has the power proper kicking in, almost like a 2 stroke. I love 2 strokes really.
It's still sat there, outside the front door, beckoning me...

Know what you mean. I'll just have to remember, I have 3 points on my licence, and a thousand wing mirrors to my name.
Winning that race each morning against the bandits will just have to wait a lil' while.
But I'll be laughing inside my helmet because I know I'll get my own back.
Think I should use it all winter again?
