Help please! Any chicks ride a ZX636R?

[ajturbo]

Hey gals,

I know I know... The only way to find out is to test ride it yourself... But I'm really keen on a 2006 ZX636R that is 5 hours away. My biggest concern is that it is going to be too big for me height wise, Im 164 cm's, I'm hoping to see it next week... but it would really help ease my mind if any chicks on here are about my height, have been on one before and could give me a rough indication of the size of them??

Many thanks,

Jas

Crickey I'm 195cm :P

Being tall has some disadvantages though, like hitting tops of doors for instance....

That's great no blind spots when driving

Except I probably couldn't see the front of the car....

So I've made up my mind and now all I gotta do is wait for the right bike to come up for sale

The waiting is the hardest part!

[Meekey_Mouse]

Wicked stuff chickey...so, I guess you will likely be on one of them beastie att he Cold Kiwi, eh?

Good for you mate!

Hopefully!! Any idea when that's on this year?

The waiting is the hardest part!

Is it ever! I want one now

I've been ringing around insurance companies... Eek! One company instantly told me they couldn't insure an 18yr old on a 600cc bike

Hi Jasmine.

You do not know me but I am a girl. A very girly girl of a similer hight to you.

I had the same trouble when I was looking for a new bike too. I eventually settled on a Kawasaki Mountain Goat.

Here is one on Trademe you might be interested in

I feel this would be the best bike for you and your current riding ability. With the low seat hight and small engine you will have control of this bike and I believe you would crash it very little

I have heard from a few very reliable sources that your bother is incredibly smart. Maybe you should ask him for advice on what your next bike should be? He would probably agree with me that the Kawasaki I mentioned earlier would be ideal.

If you choose the 600 (stupid bike, bad decision) I feel you will eventually start beating your brother around the track. This will be bad for your brother's mental health. You don't want to hurt your brother do you?

Oh, I forgot to mention that I've also heard your brother is extremely good looking.

Hey chicky! Pitty you're not in chch I have a 636R you could have viewed Man it's one bloody wicked machine, basically rides itself all you've gotta do is hang on lol. I'm about 171cms and can touch the ground with both the balls of my feet but I stop at lights with one foot flat on the ground no probs
Only problem with test riding one of these beasts is... you'll want one!

I smell a road trip

[Meekey_Mouse]

I smell a road trip

Haha road trips are all good and fun (some times... Mostly just good stories) and I'd definitely ride any where for an 06 or 07 GSXR... But I don't want to buy a bike only to find out I'll drop it at the first slanted intersection ops: so I need to be able to view the bike and leave with out it if need be... Which makes the situation slightly harder.

All rested and recovered after the trip?

[chic 'n' charge]

Awesome stuff chicky - great to hear you've found a bike you like.

It is really hard when test riding bikes because generally the sellers don't generally lower them overly just for one ride. I only sat on my ZX6R (demo model) before buying it and I couldn't really touch the ground with both feet flat. Waited till I got its first 1000km service done before we tinkered with suspension etc, but that was brand new bike. I do know however that when I bought bike before that I had to wait until I got home before tinkering with setup to make it right for me - I mean I'm only 5 foot 4 in height and the guy I bought bike from was like 6 foot tall and over 100km so of course it wasn't set for me and my height or weight. Once you get bike home you can personalise it to suit you more and there are always after market parts to make things easier for you like lowering kits etc.

Hope you don't have to wait too long.

All the best in your adventures.
Chic

I'm 1.6m tall and own a 2004 636. When first purchased I was on extreme pointy toe to touch the ground - think ballet dancer on points! Have since lowered bike marginally so I've got more toe on the ground.

Due to the lightness of the bike - 160kg dry - the height factor isn't an issue (i've just come off a 205kg 1997 zx7r), plus the narrowness of the seat makes it a lot easier to touch the ground too.

As you're 1.64m you'll be fine!
