Isn't the '06 the same as the '05?

Never been a big fan of Ninja's myself (I think it's the team green that gets me) but it's not too bad lookin.

I grew up in the 90's, so I have an eerie fascination with any and all ninjas (I think it might have something to do with playing GTA). That 636 is sexy, how is it performance wise?

i havent posted a reply about what i like about it yet because i wanted to get more seat time so i could get use to everything. My likes the fuel injection is great i haven't ridden alot of bikes but the ones i have didnt have FI so when you twist the throttle all the power you want is there. I'm not a tall person 5'9 but the riding position seems really good for me, i was kind of afraid i would be leaning the bike over to flat foot it but its really no problem, i also thought my back would hurt alot from having to lean over the tank to reach the handle bars with these short arms but also its no problem. I've read reviews were people say it feels like the seat is pushing you forward into the gas tank which makes it uncomfortable on certain "male parts" - i dont find that true at all, the seat feels fine to me. I don't know why but i really like the under the seat exhaust too. There are a couple of dislike also: I'm sure this is common on all bikes but after about 20 mintues of riding my hands are hurting bad. I'm sure i need to get a good pair of gloves though. The only other thing i really dont like is that there is no gas gauge, but a light does come on and "FUEL" flashes on the led screen. Anything else i can think up i'll post later. Sorry for the long post.
