Default My New Bike

So .. I left the Honda scene and decided to get a Kawasaki. It was a toss up between an 05-06 CBR 600RR, or an 05-06 Ninja 636... but in the end, I like the styling of the 636 better, and it felt right.

With that being said, the 900RR sold on Craigslist in just 2 days, and a week later (yesterday), I bought this:

(Already ordered a set of new tires, getting a new license plate mount that sits in a bit more, and going to get an integrated tail with turn signals built in.

Also ordered a blacked out windscreen, and will be nightshading the headlights and flushmounts. I have 10000K HID's waiting to go into the bike.

Bike has 9,000 miles on it.. picked it up for $4100.

Yoshi can, and a bald and squared rear tire. The squid that had that before you was doing burn outs on a regular basis, so it might be wise for you to do everything maintenance-wise to ensure it's not going to fall apart on you. Besides that, it's gorgeous. I love that blue, and the front end of that year. Aren't you gonna miss the 900ccs?!!?! Haha

Miss the 900cc's? Nah. I found riding my friends GSXR 600 and ZX6-R were just as much fun, if not more fun than my liter bike.

The guy claimed he never stunted on the bike, said he was an EMT and seen what stunting did to people .. but, not sure if I believe him much. The Yoshi was put on by the previous owner; a friend of his. The guy I bought it from bought the bike back in March of last year.

Either way, I'll treat her like a queen. My only worry is tranny problems. Every vehicle I have ever owned, new and used, since I was 16 (6 years now) has had Transmission problems. x_x It's getting old!

I'm not.

636 is much more comfortable than my old 900RR. The way the seat was on my 900, always felt like I was falling forward (Very uncomfortable), while the 636 seat is pretty much flat.
