    Default rider suck or what?

    i raced a newer gixxer 750 and i actually started to pull on him pretty bad. we were just messing around most of the time until we hit a nice straight a way, went from 50ish to 140. i kept up and then started to actually pull on him towards the end. i have an 05 kawi 636. am i sopposed to be as quick as 750 or did the rider of the gixxer just suck

    iam new with the bike so i really dont know much about it, was going to trade in my SV650 for an FZ6 but turn of events lead to me getting the 636. glad i got the kawi instead because this bike is fucking amazing, nimble. feels even lighter than the SV

    Not going to say that the bike didn't play a part, but the rider has a lot to do with it.

    power to weight ratio. If you have some obese whale of a person on a gixxer 1k and an ethopian on a gixxer 600, I bet it would be the first time an ethopian won anything...

    The gixxer should've been faster, everything else held equal.

    the newer gsxr750 are pigs...the 636 should have pulled on the gixxer...suzuki has gone down hill since 04...01-03 are the prime years for the gixxers...suzuki was once the bike to have...now the bike to beat are the kawi's

    8 bikes a year? Are you that bad as a rider? That much money to throw away? If you go through them that fast, you can't have enough time to get used to how the bike rides to develop as a rider.

    I have ridden the 636's also. IMO, a 05+ GSXR750 owns them in every way on the track. The GSXR drops easier, has more power, and the brakes are the same. And I don't own either a Kawi or a Suzi now - not biased.

    So, you have a little dealership going on the side? Good deal. Might need to visit you soon for another bike - need a new track ho....

    All you stunters go through bikes like crazy, I can't afford that.

    you gotta be loaded to have a nice stunter. shit breaks, shit gets beaten up real good. zip ties are a stunters best friend, also plastic welding.
    iam used to seeing stunt bikes like these, not so much bling bling http://dsfriders.com/ju1y.mov
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=holwps3XMGg

    i really want to buy a stunter again, because iam not turning my 636 into one. no fucking way........ its too nice. i need like a old beater F3, F4ezzzy or something like that, or maybe even an older 636
