No being an ass, but almost the same power is a stretch
The 08 zx10 has like 190 crank, to the wheels I've seen a lot of guys in the 155 range give or take a few
The new 13' 636 is going to be 129 to the crank I believe, so I'm sure it will be in the 105 to the wheel range
I don't think that is close be any means, but like I said not being an ass just pointed that out for you

yea it is abit of a stretch, i ended up looking up the specs after i wrote that post...lol. Let me rephrase though. A 2013 636 should be able to hang if not, not far behind a 08 zx10r with the weight difference. I wouldnt know thought because i havent seen those years/models line up and go at it.

Mods to the bike?
Honestly i've said it on this site more then once, bikes can and will be beat by a car. Most of the time it's the fact that the bike tops out, and cars keep going, which in turn allows you to pull past them.
My Daytona 675 w/ -1 +2 Sprocket setup tops out at 139 MPH, I'll pull ahead by two buses in a heartbeat, but with enough road most sport cars could catch me. The thing is, bikes are for curves, not a straight stretch. (With the exception of the ZX14, Hyabusa and all those.) Saying you beat one in a drag race is pointless IMO
I beat a bike once too, it was all because the rider sucked, and the bike topped out at 135.

not tucking down
lol. People that dont ride bikes (even some that do ride bikes) dont understand how much hugging the gas tank makes a difference..lol.
Your bike factory is a 17/45 I believe, where as my bike is a 16/47. So my -1 +2 is the same as your -2 +4.
That's true. But also the internal gears. What's people's opinion on windscreens? Thinkin about a hot bodies gp screen. It's like a double bubble. But I am also not a really big guy at 5' 10" and 165, and can tuck right in there on the stock windscreen.
You should go to the streetbike chat thread for this, but IMO, don't buy hotbodies, their stuff is crappy and cheap IMO. Look into the Zero Gravity line. I say if you can get behind the stock windscreen though then stick with it, I'm content with the stocker on my bike and i'm the same size you are basically except an inch taller.

I want another bike, I sold my 07 ZX6R and haven't got another one yet
I think the GF would kill me if I got another one before I got her ring....? Maybe not though haha
I have my eye set on the new 636, it looks like a nice bike

yea defently get your women a ring first..lol. As much as i hate to say it, she's gotta come first. Yea if i was gonna get a new 600, it would defently be a 636. I'll never get rid of my 08 zx6r. I was given a really good deal by the dealership for a 2011 or 2012 (cant remember which year( zx10r but i turned it down. I love my bike to much...lol.

Still. 14$ to fill the tank, 12$ oil filters, and 30$ for oil a couple times a year. I go through an estimated 50 tanks of gas a year (probably a little more), so it would take me 6 years of Gas,Oil,and filters just to equal the price of that ring.
