> [@Mk4 30R](#): > > it doesnt say it wasnt setup that way, it says Runs at the end of the dyno and acceleration tests section, why would they race it, but not dyno it that way? makes no sense,those would be FALSE FIGURES So if they are false figures then your statement on the dyno runs, then who says they are not false stating about the 1/4 mile runs. You cannot take their word on one statement and then go back and question their integrity. That’s biting the hand that feeds you. The dyno graphs on the 636 match what the real world similar dyno tests are getting, and there is no note under it, I’m sure if they had taken their time to mention it once where it affected the runs they would mention it every time they affected it. There are too many variables as to why they only mentioned it once, maybe they got their bikes switched by sponsors for runs, maybe the did the article on the “jumper” mod and left it in, or maybe the owner of the bike just decided to do it. Plus there are just as many sources and racers saying that the “jumper” mod is about as useful as a T-shirt in a fall. > [@Mk4 30R](#): > > and apparently neither of you know a thing about 60’ times in relation to ELAPSED TIME/Trap speed. the ZX6 appears to be easier to launch as it picks up .1x on the 60’ time over the R6 which would let it pick up a few tenths on the other end. with a rider who is experienced to the characteristics of the R6 vs the ZX-6R, the R6 in theory would accel, one test means nothing compared to real world use Apparently :🙂 ---

you can go to all different magazines and websites but when compared on the road the r6 is faster. You will most likely never see some one hit the times that magazine riders do. Go buy a 636 and line up against nicks r6 and i guarantee the r6 is gonna pull away. ---

seen and tuned both the r6 is a way more potent bike takes add ons a lot better and a stronger motor the 636 is a mechanical disaster poorly designed and a slouch compaired to smaller bikes ---

In the end a race between two bikes that are that close in performance is going to be rider 9 times out of 10. And who cares to much anyways, I think I can accept a 10.4 or 10.5 second bike, course who buys a bike to race it bone stock down the quarter mile? Take it to the country and let the bikes stretch there legs like they are designed to. ---

my brand preference is Yamaha, ive ridden both his bike and his brothers GSX-R 600. not to there full potential, but the R6 feels snappier up top, but the GSXR is easier to ride around, comes down to rider choice at that point. ---

And I’m the exact opposite, I like the beefier mid range of my 675 not needing to rev the piss out of it to fly. There in lies the beauty of having 5 different bikes that are basically the same performance in the same package but so completely different in how they feel and how they ride. ---

both my yamahas were the same way, i had to rev them a bit to reach there potential. However i would take the R6 over any other 600, anyday of the week! I was on a 06 R6, buddy had a 07 gsxr1000, but in the “600” mode and i was way ahead of him. I was also told that the 600 mode on those bikes isnt a true 600, so maybe thats why i beat him by so much? And he is 100000000x better of a rider than i am or ever will be. ---
