ANYONE RODE THESE BACK TO BACK. I AM USED TO BIG TORQUE SO I ASSUME I'LL NEED THE 929.I HAVEN'T RODE EITHER BUT I LIKE THE KAWI, SCARED ITS GONNA BE DOWN ON POWER THOUGH. WHATS THE WORD?

 

2001 HONDA 929RR ERION EDITION(ERION EXHAUST3600 MILES) $5300.00

2005 KAWASAKI ZX636R (YOSHIMURA, STEERING DAMPNER,SEAT COWL,WHEEL STANDS,3800 MILES
$5500.00

I CAN'T SLEEP AHHHHHHHHHH.

 

I rode both back to back. Both bikes are great, the 636 isn't down on power. The 929 only has 3600 miles on it though, its almost brand new. Tough choice. Really i think it comes down to what kind of riding your doing.

If your stunting or carving canyons i'd take the 636. If your just cruisin, commuting, occassional whoolie, i'd take the 929.

From my experience on the 636, It is VERY uncompfortable and puts way too much body weight on your arms. I felt like if i hit the front brake too hard i would roll off the front.
I would suggst going to a dealer and sitting on the kawi.

 

929 with out a doubt. especially an 01 erion.

 

I'm with fuze on this one: It depends on your riding, both style and intentions. I love the 929 for its torque, easy riding, all-round abilities, and forgiving nature. The 636 is a brilliant little bike though it is going to be harder work than the 929 almost everywhere, except for going hard in the tight twisties. And then there is a the look: a green 636 is a pretty little bike, though it will be hard pressed to look better than a near-new Erion, IMO.

Bottom line: you won't loose taking either. Just make sure you fit the 636.

 

929 ftw !

 

Both bikes are awesome but as said before if you are looking to carve up the twisties or take it to the track take the 636 but if you can't live without the extra power or love wheelies hang with the 929.

 

I think I'll be choosing the 929. like i said big torque is my thing,I run the backroads and twisties along the river but wheelies and stop light to stop light run are great. thanks for your input and i'll be putting pics up soon.

 

^^ good choice, You will NOT be disapointed....
