The 675 is definitely a nice bike. I don't know about there being a comparison to my 600RR, but it is a nice bike .

The 636 is also another of the bikes that I've ridden that I really enjoyed the seat time I had. It was definitely a very fun bike, and not bad looking at all.

Personally, it's all up to opinion dude. Everyone can sit here and say one bike is better than the other because of this or that, but until you've gotten a chance to sit on all of them, and really decide which is more comfortable for you.. then nothing that anyone says should really make a difference.

As far as performance goes, you're going to get more out of learning how to ride the bike better than you ever will out of buying one bike over another, especially in the 600 class. It's really just up to your preference on looks, feel, and comfort. Some people prefer Yamaha (idiots ), some people prefer Honda (genius' ), others prefer to be like every other newbie to bikes and buy a Suzuki. Just get out there and see which one you feel the best on, and buy that bike. The performance will come with you becoming a better rider.

wow ok thanx everyone, well i have about 3 months before I make a ike decision unliess i find a good deal on a R6 i probably will go for something like that.

Sorry Sean John you laid yours down, I first need to sell my old bike. Great bike almost a antique.

If the R6 has recals i dont mind because I will just take it too the shop they can double check everything out and make sure nothing will be wrong with it. I do maintain all my things.

Im about 60% looks 40% power and all thats why im looking for something in 600 range, and the 636 did the trick for me

Its all good the bike was fixed at EMC. Everything is back to normal.
Yeah the R6 is def. nice looking bike.

If you dont traveling to pick up a bike let me know. I know a dealer up north has some very nice R6 for a decent price. I remember about a month ago he said like 7grand out the door compare too i paid 9,10 ish out the door. These are brand new R6. Not used.
