Even better review in Roadracing World!
I'll quote:
Brakes:
"Rolling out onto the track on a 636 the first feature to grab my attention was the front brake. These brakes are good. These brakes are very good. The brakes are better than any brakes I have had on any of my production-based racebikes, even with stainless lines and trick pads. These brakes are better than any brakes I have felt on any production motorcycle. These brakes are so powerful that you can use a single finger to simply bury the front tire into the pavement yet they are so linear and progressive that you can trail-brake a cold Bridgestone to the apex. These brakes force you to abandon legacy brake markers. Thse brakes will force the other manufacturers to rapidly follow suit or face extinction. These brakes make you shed a tear of joy."
Motor:
"Rolling on the throttle at the exit of the turn determines te fate of the other 600s. This piggy is fast. I mean, all the 600s are fast, but this one is faster. The midrange hit makes driving one fron one to to the next an immediate affair while the 15,500 rpm redline allows for ample overrev on longer chutes between turns."
Mikey, I think they like it!

My question is can we take the front forks and brakes and put them on a 12? Of course it would be pretty cool to stick a 12 motor in the 6 frame!!!!

Actually, a ZX9R motor (with the muzzy 998cc big bore kit) would be the ticket It would be a lot less hassle getting it to fit, and just about match the horsepower of a stock 12.

Hey Hawk - Nope! I have too much fun on the SV. And the 12 will satisfy those times when I really want to scare myself silly.

The 600 class is the most competitive and lunatic class in club racing there is. And you can easily see 40 or 50 plus bikes on the grid. Nuts!! A fun paly bike but not my choice to race. I like the RC51 and SV. Twins are easier and more forgiving.

would like and RC, but I think If I were gonna buy a bike nd it not be then new 6R or 6RR... I would wait for the 10RR.....if I were going V twin, I really like that new Aprilla Tourano...or a Mille R.....both are fantastic bikes, as is the the RC.....just fell in lust with the Tourano when I saw it in the Cycle World I think it was...man that thing is sweet....

It's kinda funny...But as I look at it, I'm leaning towards the Z1000 for the street. That being said, if a 10R/RR does come out, I'll be all over that.
