Just joined the dark side
I hate to say this, but I've become one of those that has traded in my beloved 300 for the '13 636.
Gotta say, it's like night and day in terms of power. I now know what people mean when they say that it's way more HP than someone would ever need for the streets. But that's not a bad thing. Even though I don't have the bike anymore, doesn't mean i'm going to disappear. I'll still be lurking through the forums =P

Nice. So all the 636 have the dark windshield. How many miles have you put on it. Any issues? Thank.

I spent the day riding around town. took her to get the suspension dialed in for my weight and my intended use for her.
i've already grown quite accustomed to the extra hp. but coming from the 300, i know that this extra power isn't necessary to still have fun. but it sure doesn't hurt =D

I hear the 2013 are set up soft. Adjust preload for the correct sag for your weight and slow down the compression damping.

Sweet ride. While i do love the darker candy colors Kawi has, there is just something about that white that is eye catching.
Have to say though, every time I see your heading, I think of a different "Dark side" in the motorcycling world. Hehehe

Eric, you're still alive! I can't believe you have a 600 and you're not long gone.
