Further to that info, I am told that the under-seat exhaust may also be a thing of the past from next year... :shock:

they going for the stubby exhaust look (like the R6) now?

It makes sense i guess, they can utilise all that space underneath the bottom cowling and put the narky euro3 emissions crap in there.

hmmm wonder if it would b worth getting a new 636 then if they are going to scrap it??? or just wait till the 07 model.

I do like the look of the 05/06 model..
Obviously Kawa would still stock parts for the 06 model wouldn't they?? (that is a very noob question just unsure! )

Apparently it's expected to be a late release of the 07 model, but yes, I am sure there will be parts available for the current models :)

According to raptors and rockets,the 636 could be replaced by an 800.
Interesting concept.
