Supersport Track Test

Wouldn't surprise me if the Jap bikes go 675cc.

Me too. Wont be long now before Kawasaki releases the goodies on the 2007 replacement for the 636. Just a hunch but something half way between 636cc and 675cc might be an interesting marketing ploy. I can't see how they can do much more to improve the current bike apart from a steering damper and maybe switch to a stubbie muffler for the upwardly fashion followers (like me). Supersizing the 600 gave them big sales last time so they must be tempted to try it again.
Think I'll wait and see what they offer. If it's only a small improvement I might go for a 675 next year.

Now having said that, I wouldn't be suprised if the 600s turn into 150kg 20000rpm 500s, and the 1000s turn into 155kg 800s. They'll aim for less weight, same power, and making Triumphs investment obsolete and irrelevant. If you can't beat em, ignore em!

Holy Shit why I'm I selling my Honda for a K6.

I wondered how the R6 and the K6 would go since they bitched about the lack of midrange for the CBR in last years test.

MIDRANGE !!!!! ppffffffftt ! Buy a Bandit if ya want midrange M'boy !!!

Your thinking the same as me.
