Take it all back, sexy as f**k... If a little pointless

Don't take it to heart pal, I love 1k superbikes but can't be trusted to not end up locked up. Even the middleweight supersport "scooters" are bad enough. Maybe I'm just getting old;-) Do some trackdays and it's totally worth it.

140 on a scooter

Lol, he is trying to validate the point of a 1k superbike on road.... Lmao. It's only point is doing ridiculous speeds endangering family's going about their lives. If you wanna do track days on it fair enough, if you've bought it to go on forums and tell the world 600's are slow and 1k are better for road use that's just silly.

I know I've had em... Totally pointless on the road yes? Licence loser in first gear, pointless.

The r6 is known to be very weak mid range tbf, the 2013 on 636 are the opposite, for a 600 they have really good midrange. I can pull my mates 19plate MV Augusta dragster RC in roll ons, pulls my pals k6 gsxr750 in every gear at any rpm.

My 636 does 73 in first and 60 just as quick as any 1k. It's all about rider on road mate. Both will do sub 3s 0-60. If your on about highly illegal riding on road yes it will, hence pointless on road comment.

My mates on the 1k can't leave me till 130ish on the straights... on track. Maybe 1-2 bike lenghts if we roll on in 5th from 50mph. Thats is 2016 zx6r 636 and k8 1k gixxer. Below zx6r Vs zx10r, both do 60 more or less the speed limit in 3sec so where is all that torque used on road. Just like this.https://youtu.be/4OFqZLu1ujQ You think better handling? It's a fact a 600 will hold more corner speed, you need to square of a 1k, stand it up on the fat bit and use the power. Totally different riding style. What bike are you riding, what year R1…? Makes a big difference, the fancy electronics I agree give 1k a handling advantage on the very latest bikes.

Just saying a as a road bike they are pointless, only any good for top trackday riders that have found the limits of a 600 and want more, even then they will likely be slower and have less fun on a 1k.

You sound like a walley saying things like that 300bhp MotoGP sachsenring lap 1m.20.2s 135bhp Moto 2 lap 1m23.5s Talking 3s a lap with top riders in the world on track with the 1k bikes having 160bhp more. Most 1k have 65bhp more than my 636, I can pull all my mates at the lights cause I can pin it, they have to manage wheelies. There is nothing in newer 1k and 600's other than massively illegal top end speeds that will get you banged up and banned. Christ sometimes I feel like the ninja is gonna get me in trouble. 1k bike after a few months of riding is dangerous, I'm the guy who threw my 5jj up the road at 80mph round a bend into 5 cars after 6months riding.

Full shot white looks faster

Mines white and black with green accents... Looks ok

Lovely mate, I recently got a slightly newer one, I've had big bikes before but a 600 never fails to impress... They rev to the heavens and you don't need anymore on the road. Just take it easy in first as they will spin the back wheel and power wheelie. Remember you likely going to traveling alot faster towards the bends so brake nice and early till you used to it. How nice do they handle tho right... And yes the brakes are incredibly sharp, be careful not to panic brake mid corner, use the rear if it a must

https://youtu.be/odJJXhg79j8 Twist the wrist. Cheesy as hell but stick with it, it's golden knowledge. This is the Bible of bike control, it was made by the ex racer (names avoiding me atm) who now runs/own California superbike school.

Very nice looking beast, gonna look massive next to my zx6r

Watch twist the wrist 2 on YouTube, the one minus the cheese is best. My understanding is on track trail braking is used only as a supplement to you initial main braking, supposedly from the video it's best to brake then snap in over fast but at the last moment. Rolling on gently as soon as your at lean actually loads the bike correctly making you less likely to lose the front, sports bikes are apparently set up to have perfect 50-50 weight distribution with a progressive positive throttle, i.e holding a neutral throttle is actually loading the front because in a steep lean angle the bike will be slowing. It's much safer to have the rear slide a little than getting used to flying into a corner on neutral throttle. Obviously you don't do your serious rolling on until you coming right back up vertical. Just a gentle roll on thru all corners on the road even has made my riding 10x better, the bike feels so planted, add getting your upper body over to the inside mirror and your well on your way. So in an ideal world brake upright, slow in fast out.

Take a bike long weekend and meet up with some local bikers and have an ask about would be a long shot but at least a plan...

Great race today, very happy "he" won.

A 2016 gsxr600 went before with just a slip-on and made 103rwp

Proof, said they all run a little lean low down from the factory and fuelling is perfect once on song. Leave it exactly as it is, don't mess with it are his words lol.

Not bad for a 600, 114bhp at the wheel so @15% loss around 134bhp at the crank without ram air. Normal unleaded.

Tbf we don't doddle about mind. Today we have me.on the zx6r, a stripple and a MV dragster.

If your quick on your 125 and it's a quicker model you should be fine, we've had a young on a CBR 125 do just fine in the past. Leaving in the next hour or two when people reply. Meeting at next Maidstone. What 125 do you have?

Anyone want to tag along?

I love a kwaka I'm have a zx6r too, fantastic bikes. Good decision.
