Turning to the green side

I was so sure I was going to buy a 675r but spotting a 636 on the way home got me browsing autotrader again!
Anyone know of any good reviews I can have a look at or any insider knowledge?
Thinking of something like

Cheers!

I will have a search tonight Andy and see what I can come up with.

Can you get back to back test rides as that would be the major deciding factor for me, that and what deals were available if you like both.

Either way you are going to have an amazing bike this summer (y)

That's a gorgeous looking 636 by the way mate. The carbon akrapovic makes it look stunning.

Found this mate. 5 out of 5 in every section (y) which is a typical result for a Kawasaki review tbh (rock)

Nice one Andy, ring its neck (raaar)


Be aware though, test rides of any greeeniee meanie will result in a purchase, just ask Kwacky and Perkles (giggle)

There's a very nice 2013 one with 2500 miles on it at So Many Bikes in Oldham. I had a look at it today and it's mint, going for £6400

Every time I see a ninja I get a little bit jealous. I do wish suzuki would hurry up and update the gsxr 750 though!

A bloke on Performance Bikes has only ever had 1000cc bikes

He bought one of those 636s for a track tool and he can't get over how brilliant a bike it is.

You won't be disappointed.

I had the previous ZX6R (600) and I thought it as an amazing bike just blew my head off when you start hitting the sweet spot...really wish I still had it actually. Don't think you would go too far wrong by picking a kawk. I've had 2 250 ninja and the 600 ninja always get good reviews. Liking that colour scheme btw [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

That is a hell of a lot of bike for the money.

Very similar experience.

When I bought my 636 I had the sp at the same time. The 636 was always the first bike I would go for when I opened the garage door. Every ride was an absolute scream. The bike just made you have fun. I've seen Rocket ride his b1 and can see his bike gives him the same buzz. There great bikes and really enjoyable and involving to ride.

I'm pretty sure your going to enjoy the test ride Andy and I will very much like to hear your thoughts afterwards.

I'm going to look at a ZX9R to add to my stable. Any current or ex owners here with any tips on what to be aware of?

Can't get that advert to load properly on my phone for some reason :-(

If anyone has 5 minutes would they mind cutting and pasting the advert description and any pics there are? I keep getting diverted to the finance section (swear)
Thanks in advance!

Not just your phone, I was trying to post the link earlier and couldn't get it to work. Might just be the mobile site, try it on a PC
