That bike is awasome my favorite of the 600's, also like the Daytone 650

Yeah its HOT in that new silver color.  I especially like the "new" ZZR 600.  They are bringing back the '02 ZX-6R unchanged in ZZR form :thumb:

I really like the new 636. I didnt like the old one so much and I love the zx10r styling, which this starts to share. The front end is much better than older version.

I TOTALLY agree.  I haven't seen the bike from all angles yet, so I'm reserving judgement, but I have to say that this pic looks so pretty that I just may be able to overlook the undertail exhaust.  I'm assuming it is a single, since that seems to be the way the 600 class is going.

I have to admit, I don't know much about the Kawis because in the past they have been so ugly that I wasn't even interested.... perhaps its time to investigate them a little more...

That's a nice looking bike. But Yikes- I cannot imagine being a passenger perched up on that little seat.

not bad...it looks more appealing the more i look at it...the roundness makes it look so much bigger than it really is...

Nice, but you could slap anybody's logo on it.  It's a shame bikes that are so reliable can't be made with more character.

based on the chatter on some other forums, looks like that may be a shot of the european model.

U.S. will probably still have the front signal stalks :-(

Look at the base of the stalks on the US one - it looks like there are cutouts in place for the flush signals.


I really want to like it, but somehow, I don't.

Just another cookie cutter sport bike without any character and still has those damn butt ugly head lights.
