636's Worth it?

[vt6]

Hi lads, what are peoples opinions / experiences of 636's, b1h's mainly. I've got another year before i can insure a litre bike, considering a change probably just to another 600 as i currently have a cbr 600f, just looking for something maybe a bit more fun and a more 'involved' ride. So what are peoples opinions on b1h's.

[Spit-Fire]

i recon its the best bike of its year (if not equal with the gsxr k4 for its better road manners) the only complants iv heard about them is the rock hard rear shock, but theres a few people on here who own one and dont seem to mind

My mate has a B1H before his current C6F, he stuck my spare GSXR750K4 shock on it to try, if I mind right it slightly raises the rear a wee bit, but he felt it was much better.

C1 here too.
I do prefer the cs over the bs for their look.
They appear to be bigger but tbh not sure on the weight etc.

Couldn't be happier with mine.

Not much help I know but it's all I got

I have a C model. Great bike, and way ahead of the 600f in terms of componentry, and grunt. All the toys

[carlnicholson...]

I had a C1, it's supposed to have less firm suspension set up than the B, making a bit more suitable for our lovely billiard table roads

I would reccommend one to anyone. Easy to ride, easy to ride fast, confidence inspiring, easy to get parts and now not that dear to get hold of.

Bit if a bargain really.

Tbh looks wise the b1h tail looks awesome but the front of the c version looks slightly better. Either way i've read some good feedback on them, just a little unsure as to whether it would be worth it, my 600 to a 636, is there 'that' much difference?

[Groove]

Yes, yes it would. The extra 37cc quite easily pulled away from my 52 plate CBR F Sport above 90mph (2nd/3rd gear).

Clutches up in 2nd with ease (4th over crests Tho it dont stay up )

Nothing comes close to it in the 600 class

See the Daytona's look mint, but they're a little more than what i want to spend, i'm just thinking a slight change for a year, 3-4k ish.
Thats the downside with bikes, theres way too much choice, all do different things slightly better. Spoilt for choice lol.

[Spit-Fire]

^^ 675 are lush, plus the sound of a triple should be bottle and sold as a viagra alterative, its a lot more expesive then the ninja and theres not half as many around on the used market, its got truck loads of torque and mid range but the ninja wins on top end, imo the c model ninja (which you can get brand new for £5000 vs the £7500 07/08 bikes) is ararguablyust as good as any of the new 6's that are about (plus you have £2500 left over to claw back any disadvantage)

My mate has a B1h in Kawasaki green, looks facking gorgeous.

And it handles well. Really really well.

Makes me sad I'm getting a G2 now lol.

The new zx6's aren't 636cc they are 599cc.

Anyone ridden the 07on 600? How does it compare with the 06 636?

Would be interesting to ride my old 06 636 against the 599cc back to back to see the difference.

I used to have a CBR600F and had an 06 C6F 636. The difference between the two is quite astounding considering they are both in the 600CC class. The 636 is brutal, unforgiving, uncomfortable and exhilerating. The CBR6 is a good bike but for exactly the opposite reasons - comfy and forgiving are two that spring to mind!

If your looking for something faster and more focused (obviously its not going to be totally mind blowingly different in speed) then its a good step to take, as long as you can get on with it day to day. For me it was too harsh on my back/wrists/neck/ears/bum etc. but it was a very very very fun bike to ride!!
