same, just different pieces of the full name.

636 comes from the cc, 636cc, the bike is part of the ninja range, and is given the zx6r tag...

Skelstar if you can pick that up for $11,000 to $11,500 you should be arrested for robbery. That's the gloss blue from last year. Motorad have in the 06 matt blue, quite cool and different but I like paint I can shine!
ps- have you thought about the Er6 (650 twin) I rode the demo and it's a hoot. Brand new for $10,995 with 2 yr warranty.
edit- the ZX6R is the 636cc the ZX6RR is the race version in 599cc

I was very, very, very tempted to make this fella a cash offer...... but had to resist the temptation.......:slap:

A new/newish 600 will be my second big bike not first........

This bike has been on sale for a while - he wanted 12k or something first I think.

MD: not a ER6n/GSR600 kinda guy I dont think.
Not sure about the ZX-6R...I think the R6 is a bit more comfortable long dist, and I may get one of those *NEW* for not too much more. Maybe.

I wonder how many dealers would reject a 11,500 cash offer on one of the 2004/2005 R6 old stock.

Interesting I had a loaner R6 for a day from Motorad (I think it was Jim2's) and wouldn't say it was as comfortable as my 636, or as fast that's for sure. no offence intended Jim.
