I have been riding my Ninja 500 for a couple of seasons and really like the new ZX-6R and am considering one. I feel like it's the most comfortable one of the sportbikes I have sat on and I really like the undertail exhaust. My question is though, are these bikes ok for just back roads, canyons/mountain riding and such. I really have no interesting in racing or going to the track right now (that could change), but I know they run better in the high rpms, so should I consider something else for my riding style?

 

its a motorcycle, you can ride it how u ride, it doesnt tell you when to shift or how fast to go, you do that.......

 

consider a V-twin of some sort

 

Why is that Mott Power?

 

I love my 636. It's the bees nees.

 

the new zx6r would be fine for just backroads. you will not have any problem with that at all what so ever. goin thru the canyons this is the bike you want. a V-twin would make you go thru to much rubber. this bike is perfect for what your lookin for.

 

I barely ever "drive" my bike like it was ment to be driven... I don't drive fast at all... The highest my RPMs get most of the time are 7-8K when I'm on the highway... It works perfect for me just driving around around 5-6K on backroads and turns... do it up... zx-6rs rock!!!! Just get blue cause its the fastest...

 

Sport bikes were meant for the curves, I think you would be very happy with a zx-6r

 

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for...now all I have to do is wait for the 08s..

 

I love my 636. Its fun in the twisties even if you aren't going all out. I have to say that I have gone fast on it however, for the most part I keep it at the speed limit and its really a great bike.

So YES to the 636 she's a keeper!
