My first road legal bike. Bought new on 0% finance! great deal! Bike is easy to ride, isn't intimidating as a new rider and comfortable for a 600sports bike. It's a great all rounder-ride for hours across the country, go for a spirited Sunday blast or spend the day at my local track Snetterton. On road the handling is assured and comfortable; on the track it's a little soft but still rewarding to ride fast. The 636 engine is a gem and I love it's top end. My ninja is nearly 13 years old and I have yet to have a problem with it. Running and servicing costs are very reasonable. I think it's a great bike!

Great bike once your riding over 60mph. Slow speeds and around town is quite painful on the arms and wrists!

Daft survey, ' is performance and fuel economy good? ' you can't lump things together like that, performance very good, consumption diabolical ie. 35mpg from a 600, well 636cc anyway. 'Braking and handling', braking very good, handling not as confidence inspiring as I'd hoped, maybe me, I'm not too used to the quick steering of a semi sports bike.

I love my bike and its great to ride .I don't ride it fast but its good to know that the power is there when you need it.My bike is a j1 so it is about 13 years old but I think it is better looking than most of the newer bike. Was thinking of getting a newer one but decided to stay with this one.

I have owned the Zx636 b1h for 10 years . I have done a few trips to Scotland , a trip of over 1000 miles in 3 days and have also clocked up over 20 track days on it . Needless the say it's much more accomplished on the track than touring .It is more comfortable than you would imagine but the wrist and back do take a bit of a battering especially if you are getting on a bit. Keep it pinned and it will take the pain from the wrist but you won't keep your licence long using this method .On the track it has shown a clean pair of heals to a few bigger and more modern machinary . If you want a quick middle weight bike than can handle and brake then for the money you can't go wrong , just make sure you do a bit of limbering up if you go on a decent run.

After 9 years of ownership I have recently sold my Kawasaki ZX6r. I can honestly say it was a brilliant bike to own and I would recommend one to anyone looking at buying a mid-range sports bike. However, my reason for selling was purely down to lack of comfort . . . anything further than a short blast and my bum was wanting to jump off for a good old stretch. Being a bit more mature in my years I'm now looking to travel a bit further afield and fancied a sports tourer so I've swapped the Ninja for a Triumph ST Sprint. But I had some great times on my mean greenie!!!
