The 636 is just plain out crazy, not only does it has some very hot lines, the bike has been running low 10s all day at the strips lately. Now Kawasaki just needs to overhaul the 7R, and hopefully bring out the 10R everybody has been waiting for.

I'm just hesitant b/c I've never been much of a Kawi fan. :o I've always been with the Yammis, Honduhs, or Suzi's... Just kinda unsure of a company I've never really dealt with before, ya know? I would go for the 636R instead of the RR b/c I don't want that GAWD AWFUL green. I want blue.

I think I can beat all of you. Here's a picture of my 1977 JAWA Transistor 40.
Mods include: rust spots, muffler held on by bailing wire, duct-tape+rat trap rear fender modification (not shown in this picture) & tail-light help on by zip-ties. It used to have a homemade muffler too.
To sum up it's performance (and that of all Jawa mopeds ever created)
"That's just how Jawas are. Some days everything in the world is right, God smiles down on you and the Jawa, and you'll be going better than any other moped out there. Then sometimes the Jawa magically 'un-tunes' itself and you're 4-stroking horribly and can't get over 17mph."

Kawi is just like all its japanese auto counterparts. I have a 93 vulcan 750 that since I have owned it has only had to get its carbs rejetted and electrical connections sanded. Otherwise aside from regular services like oil changes and brakes that I do myself, I have no gotten any problems ever. And even after 10 years, the little vtwin still pulls to 9500rpm (odd for a cruiser no?). And I have several friends who own the ZX12r, and that bike makes mine look slow after first gear (and with the muzzy big bore custom blocks, makes specced busses look slow). My impression of Kawi is a very good one, however I am sure it is not like that 100% of the time, but I would recommend them just as much as any other jap bike company aside from Honda.

I used to have a few of me on MY bike, but my f*cktard of a PC at home crashed and lost it all before I could get it on my RELIABLE mac. Guess I'll just have to get some new ones on my dad's bike until I get my own again sometime next year.

Whatever, as long as you are in them :right:

As far as the topic goes, I do


It's not fast, but it's mine, and i can keep up with most of my friends on "real" bikes.
I'm seriously considering buying a RS250 though.

I like the Aprilia Futura, but I'd do almost ANYTHING for a Mille R

Still looks really awesome. I just wish Aprilia wasn't so expensive in the States. Is the size restriction til you're 20 an age restriction, or is it set-up for you to be restricted to 250cc for a certain number of years of riding experience?
