I can wait as long as it takes. I scored a whole oem fairing set and tank for my viffer for $400 or $500. A lot better tuan spending that much or more on chinese fairing sets.

Finally got out for a ride today. And took a better picture.

Nice.....I had an 03, but it had the ugly sliver frame, lol. I like your black frame better.

I remember the throttle on it being very smooth. Kinda weak down low though.

Did you have the R or RR? The 04 R were silver too... that's why I went with the RR, to have a black frame.

The air/fuel mix is kind of crappy with the stock exhaust. I'm hoping that Kawi designed it like that knowing most would change that out and it will be better now.

You went with less CC's and power for a black frame??? A powdercoater could have easily fixed that.

I didn't need the extra 36cc's, 600cc is plenty. I'm the type of person that I get exactly what I want. I'm spending the money so I'm not going to settle on something I don't really want.

Sure I could have powder coated it, but I'm realistic in knowing that never would have happened. Look how long it has taken me to do the mods I've just done.

There are plenty of other differences between the R and RR. I like being different, few people have the RR.

At the time, the 600 had better suspension than the 636. The 636 was known for being crude-riding.

Oh yeah, and let's dismount the engine, forks etc. just to powdercoat the frame. Not.
