636! :)
Well, after working all winter on my custom F4i (link), a kid who couldn't control his 2007 ZX-6R slammed into me. Although the CBR came out of the accident mechanically sound - I rode it to and from Vancouver a week later (1300 miles roundtrip) - the cosmetic damage is enough to ensure the bike will be a write-off.
I never really thought about buying a Kawasaki until one smashed into me! Although I really don't care for the 2007's looks, I have to say, I think the 05-06 636 is one of the most beautiful machines ever devised. More importantly, that brilliant slipper clutch, sculptured swingarm and lap timer are fantastic additions.
So, I finally found a 2005 636 for sale - they're pretty rare up here in Canada. It's bone-stock - I can't wait to make a project of it! I will have to paint it - I don't care for the (decidedly gray) 'Titanium' colour. Hey - at least it's not lime 'sherbet' green or that not-quite-red orange colour.
A little about me: I'm the VP Operations of an electronics recycling company, an avid mountaineer, photographer, etc. More at www.lucasp.com
Thanks for having me guys and girls - I'm thrilled I've finally ditched Honda and decided to buy a REAL bike!

RE: 636! :)
Man our blood runs green here, but since your new, we will forgive you. Just don't let it happen again!
We are very glad that you got away from Honda and got a real bike, welcome brother.
