Ready for a bike now

Whoa, bit of a change in direction from the duke but nice all the same, well done deb, ya got yourself a sweet bike there for sure, enjoy

[DebK]

Just remember...
The 636 has about 100hp more than the 400ss,
SO BE CAREFULL!!
and dont try to go too fast too soon!
But enjoy.

...and about 120 more hp than the scoot. Went for a blat around the neighbourhood on the scoot last night and remembered what an ill-handling thing it is. Going from that to a performance & handling bike, that by all accounts is only a weapon of mass destruction if you give it some stick, will be much welcomed.

I can hear what most may be thinking... how the hell is she going to handle a 636?! I come from a farming background of hooning around on 2-stroke dirtbikes, go-karts, etc. For the last 12+ years I've also competed in motorsport (rally & circuit). While that doesn't give me absolute bike experience, it does give me speed appreciation, understanding of handling and lines, etc.

Will try not to kill myself too quickly But I certainly welcome all your advice & tuition. Jim2 - will email you to go out for a blat the first weekend I have him... oh yes, and I shall have him! The Kwaka, not Jim2.

Excelent deb!! I don't know why girls want a sexy looking bike - I thought it was all about us guys with penis size problems.I have no doubts about you being able to handle it - your competion skills in rallies has given you hazzard awareness skills far beyond even the racers here - I'd say you would be able to scan the road to the next corner and everything to the side in one glance,that's a huge advantage over anyone else on their first sports bike - mind you,some course notes in your ear would kinda help too eh?
