Is it just me or is actually pretty hard to tell the cosmetic differences from one gen to another. I mean I have to look at pictures side by side or do an A/B comparison.

Looks cool though!

EsrTek · August 13th, 2012, 07:33 AM

Don't think it's cosmetics changed, just the engine.
A new 636 sounds great to me, since they seem to be such a popular bike choice previously.

7oxSin · August 13th, 2012, 07:34 AM

OMG OMGOMG i love the 636, does anyone have this mag? if so can you scan some pics and upload them to the forum?

alex.s · August 13th, 2012, 08:47 AM

636 is the best.

Jono · August 13th, 2012, 08:55 AM

Yeah I'll take an 05! I think they are such a sexy bike. They are starting to show their age but I don't care.

sharky nrk · August 13th, 2012, 11:01 AM

Great now I have to go and find a copy of MCN for this month

August 13th, 2012, 11:12 AM

MMMM, I love 636's. It's such a sexy bike. I want all of these supersports

Seananniganss · August 13th, 2012, 11:24 PM

By far my favorite Ninja. Swap out those amber turn signals for clear ones..make em flush mounts and they wont look too old at all.

Love that they're bringing back then engine though! I heard those things were way torquey and you didn't have to rev em over 7k to get the muscle going.

thats what they did with the 06...

ebrammer252 · August 14th, 2012, 05:25 PM

I can't wait till I can afford a six.

Looks like the new 636 has leaked. And a vid I assume the above source got its photos from. Shows the 636 around 3:30

Link to original page on YouTube.

Looks pretty good. Looks like the zx-10r 636 and 300/250 are all going to share the whole mantis look.

Old Lemon · September 10th, 2012, 06:24 PM

grrrr, personally i like the straight green like my bike now and like the 2008 zx6. but this still looks pretty cool

Little Green Machine · September 10th, 2012, 06:29 PM

Yah but you gotta love that aggresive stying, Kawi always has a nice looking bike!

Asspire · September 10th, 2012, 07:53 PM

does it come in red?

kingkang204 · September 10th, 2012, 07:56 PM

Look at that muffler, it's like the 250r muffler.

gt_turbo · September 10th, 2012, 08:03 PM

needs more green, less black.

choneofakind · September 10th, 2012, 08:20 PM

mmm, headlights look like a Daytona 675.

I like that and the 300. Both look great

Gurk · September 10th, 2012, 08:48 PM

That is one FUGLY muffler (too long). Everything else looks good to me.

I think I'm the only one but I don't like that it has 36 more cc's as before.

cbdallas · September 11th, 2012, 06:27 AM

Kawasaki used to use black as an accent color, but now they're blending it 50/50 with the primary color of the bike. Not sure I like that, but I love the new razors-edge fairing design they're using.

nycsteve · September 11th, 2012, 07:10 AM

This. Also, I wish this was a non-supersport.

bdavison · September 11th, 2012, 08:02 AM

Hmm...a lot of that bike looks like the 250.

Exhaust, front windshield, they even put that hideous rear fender on it.

I'm thinking kawasaki is starting to standardize their bikes for each year like yamaha does. It's getting to the point now where you cant tell the difference between the R6 and the R1 anymore....Im guessing kawi is going this route too.

I'm glad, perhaps it will finally let them all look good, instead of only the superbikes getting the good looks.

ninja250r81 · September 11th, 2012, 02:09 PM

zx10 styling.

zx6 always gets the old zx10 styling for the next model

it needs more green

00NissanNinja · September 11th, 2012, 11:25 PM

I would also like it with more green (I myself actually wanted my 250 to be all green but SE scheme has grown on me), but the 13th is coming soon so we shall see what colors kawi decides to go with.

Basically, I wish the 650, the non supersport, looked like this.

Lil_Green_Demon · September 12th, 2012, 06:08 PM

Man, that thing is so sexy.

So how's the fingernail tapping test go? Passed with flying colors I hope?

thisisbenji · September 13th, 2012, 07:54 AM

I think a 2005-2006 636 might be my next bike in the spring.

areifel · September 13th, 2012, 10:52 AM

Ahhhhhh

gt_turbo · September 13th, 2012, 03:12 PM

kawi just put everyone on notice - best 2013 600 SS!

Link to original page on YouTube.

ninjaone · September 13th, 2012, 05:21 PM

First 600 with both traction control and ABS. Kawasaki innovating before others, feels like they are on top of their game right now. One exception might be their designs...

Lil_Green_Demon · September 13th, 2012, 05:26 PM

I nominate this for the GOAT thread because the OP provided such an in-depth analysis of the upcoming 636.

Jiggles · September 13th, 2012, 05:29 PM

I will definitely be buying a 636

in 3-5yrs

I agree let's start with how his post began.

areifel · September 13th, 2012, 06:30 PM

areifel · September 13th, 2012, 06:32 PM

But seriously, i guess i was the only one surprised that they brought back the 636.

Trailerboy531 · September 13th, 2012, 06:34 PM

You were surprised....?

Where have you been?

I knew in May...

areifel · September 13th, 2012, 06:34 PM

Honestly....?

Yes, i was.
