<sniff sniff> I did not get the bike. The guy was selling the bike because he needed the money. His brother loaned him the money. Now he is hanging on to the bike. I offered him more money but he wants to keep it.

Back to Craigslist.

Aww...That sucks. Ya might even check with a dealer and see if they have any bikes on consignment or traded in. I don't have any extra sport bikes laying around. Make sure you come back here, no matter what kind of bike you get.....Good luck.

There are quite a few 636 on CL...I always keep my eyes out for a deal on a 636...I loved my 2003 636...If you find one it is worth looking at as well.

That really sux!!! But stick to the 636, you'll love it!

If you've ridden an 80s litre bike, you will love a modern-day 600. They have a bit more power, but are infinitely lighter and the power delivery is so much smoother than an old carbureted 1K. Plus frame design has come such a long way, you'll feel like the bike is an extension of yourself

Welcome to the forum, you'll love it here, and most of all enjoy your new ride!!!

Which, BTW, doesn't formally exist until you post pictures of it here

That's a lot of bike for someone who hasn't ridden in 15 years also!

ummm... frame sliders?

And I assume since bought a 6R, racing or track days is your goal? If so, an aftermarket pipe and Power Commander would help. And you'll probably wanna ditch the stock tires for something a little stickier.

Don't worry about a little cosmetic damage if you're going to the track. You'll likely get more...

And you've got leathers and boots, right?

well i purchased the bike to just ride, no track or racing or stunting or anything crazy like that. i am just one who likes sport bikes as opposed to anything else. i do have all the necessary gear, jacket, gloves, helmet, i wear boots, and jeans all the time. but i am unsucessful in finding frame sliders, (no-cut) for the 2007 ZX 6. any suggestions within a fair price range?

Good thing about a more powerful bike is u won't grow out of it AND u dont necessarily have to use it to its full potential until ur completely comfortable with it. I am sure ull be fine tho if uve ridden a 1000 before, ull get used to it quick im sure, then its off to a zx14
