presentation of the ZX-6R 636 2003

The latest ZX-636 R is more exclusive than its predecessor. A number of improvements to the finish finally demonstrate the evolution of the brand, which until now had lagged behind the competition (LED taillight, digital dashboard, etc.). The machine's sportiness is immediately apparent. The riding position is radical, with the hands now reaching for the straps under the fork crown, the seat becomes higher and the suspension is less forgiving of road imperfections. All this contrasts with its ancestor's good road-holding abilities. The ZX-636 R is brutal and loses its ease of use. The engine is rather hollow at low revs, and thrust is only felt above 8,000 rpm. Some mechanical modifications have been made, such as the injection system and the ignition cut-off, which now intervenes at 16,000 rpm. The hunt for superfluous kilos has resulted in the loss of 11 kg. It's also the only 600 equipped with inverted forks and radial brake calipers. Today, the ZX-636 R has completely lost its versatility. Kawa seems to have rediscovered the spirit that made its uncompromisingly sporty models so famous.

Tony Model 2003

I've had this bike since 2003/ 67000km
nothing but pleasure, not very comfortable of course
but the pleasure is in the riding: superb roadholding, super-powerful braking, lightness: the curvy roads (Auvergne, Jura) are a delight.

orel Model 2004

a great look with a line cut to the axe.
admittedly hollow at low revs, but after 8000 rpm all the cavalry arrives and it's a delight, even with the original exhaust it gives off a superb "roque" sound.
chassis and handling are firm but incisive, and you can take it wherever you want to go with ease.
in short, a superb machine! maybe not for everyday riding, but for a few fun turns (watch out for radar) or for the track, it's ideal.
but like all sports bikes, it's not made for two-up riding. 08/21/2013 21:57 Rating : 4/5 Respond to orel

Julien Model 2003

bonjout a tous,

I too have had this bike for two years and like straps I think the ZX-6R is the best possible purchase in 600cc.
It packs a serious punch, after 8,000 revolutions, it goes like crazy towards the breaker (it demenage)
plus the noise, I've got a circuit-approved Leovinci high output and it's crazy, it's bewitching and at high revs it's all you can hear!
And the best part is that in the corners, it's a big bike, it's got an amazing agility, it lays down all by itself, that's all it asks for, and the throttle back is a joy, which makes me say that if you're not too tall, because it's incovenient, this 600 is pretty small, but for me it's the best buy, even better than the 1000s on the road! 09/05/2006 15:40 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Julien

laul le pi Model 2003

I've been riding a zx7rr on the track for 4 years and I've just bought a 2004 636. To give you an idea, all the exits from the corners are wiling and the big spins are in total drift. In short, the cubes don't have to behave 05/04/2006 19:48 Rating : 5/5 Respond to laul le pi

Wildlolo Model 2003

Cette moto c dla balle, moins de 2000 kms a c coté mon fait hérisser les poils à chak cou dgazzzz....jus jusqu'à jour ou une peugeot 106 ma coupe la route..

Extreme sensation, gro braking...this sporty car is bewitching in just one look...its sharp angles give it a demonic air !!!! nothing can resist it..

mine was blue with a micron muffler..sweet melody at low revs é lereste is staggering, big acceleration...the forced air intake croons... it's heaven on earth!!! launched at 282 kmh on a bypass it's back to the future guaranteed..

Nothing to say, Kawa, these are back on the hit parade of big-sensation bikes... FORZA TEAM GREEN ! 08/20/2005 10:39 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Wildlolo

rom Model 2003

i have a free version in full plus a complete mig line that develops 128 levels, which is really huge for a 600. I think it's so great that I've comended the 2005 model

fred Model 2003

hi there!
i just tried one out last night (thanks Thierry for lending me your blue toy).it's "full power".well, believe me, it's very, very powerful.it lifts into second gear on acceleration without doing a thing.and even in 3rd gear, the front wheel has trouble touching the ground!
in short, it's a real bullet that nails your eyes to the back of your helmet every time you squeeze the right handle
and what can I say about the engine noise...sublime!!!(especially when it's force-fed air)
in short, if you've got 10,000 euros, buy it!
it's terrific! 04/26/2005 08:55 Rating : 5/5 Respond to fred

straps Model 2003

this bike is the best in 600cc.better than the yamaha r6 and the cbr 600.it clings to the road and has magnificent power!unfortunately there's not much interest because everyone's talking about the r6 and crb.big mistake.the zx636 is and remains the best in the 600cc category. 02/27/2005 18:58 Rating : 5/5 Respond to straps
