So, in a nutshell, I found all the things that the magazines did: The Speed Four feels large, doesn't have that big rush on top, but handles like a champ in the real world, while making cool sounds in the upper rev ranges.

Still, I wouldn't mind riding the R6 a few more times. :-D
I just bought a 2002 Triumph S4, and I also recently demo rode a 2005 Kawk ZX-6R 636 at the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Weekend at Mid Ohio.

My comparison between the two is very similar to your S4 vs R6. The 636 definately felt like it had about 20 more ponies on the S4. But for me, coming from 30K miles on an SV650, the S4 feels like it's got a huge top end charge from about 9-10krpm until redline.

I love my new S4. I told my g/f last night, I'm off to ride, gotta hit up the inline four crack pipe. :razz:
