techno Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The original 636 on an 02 plate, bought for £3300 with 7500 miles on the clock it was a world apart from the cbr600f it replaced.The bike did 20000 miles in the time i had it and the only thing that went wrong was a corroded electric connector block, that 20k was alxo done in all weathers and absolutly no servicing!It made 99 bhp on the dyno and as a comparison my mate had a 51 plate 599cc that made 97 so there really isnt much in them!10k revs in 4th is 100 mph redline will see you hit 120mph.On both bike the rear footpeg hanger on the exhaust side corroded but not too badly otherwise the finish was surprising.When I got shut after 2 years I still got 2k trade in if i was looking for a cheap 600 sports bike that was comfy and quite practical and cheap this would be on my list.

Revvin Kevin Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Bought one three years ago as a winter bike, love it It's a great scratcher, tourer, trackday bike and even quite good two up.My ZX10R wasn't getting used so I sold it but kept the 636, it's all you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
