The guy that was riding it...have his nuts dropped down from his throat yet? Looks like the tank would've done a nasty job on him.
It'd be a cool project...but too much work for me to bother. I'd be willing to bet the forks have some tweak to them since he t-boned a car.

I'd say make it a streetfighter. I think it would come out looking pretty good. Of course, it all comes down to how much you're willing to put into it.Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

I'm with Junior. If he t-boned a car, those forks gotta be tweaked, it's hard to tell from the pics.
I am just shocked that a replacement frame for that costs half what a new GSX-R600 frame costs. I know which bike I would go with if I was going to stunt. BTW, that is exactly what I would do with it. Straighten it out, get it running good enough and STUNT! The 636 is a sweet bike anyway. Even if you just wanted to fix it up to ride, it would be a great project, and if you are willing to put in alot of hours scanning e-Bay, you should be able to do it really cheap.
For example; while I think "2 Wheel Tuner" magazine is a joke, I was knocked out by the December 2005 issue when they took a totaled 1997 GSX-R750...bent frame, toasted forks, trashed front end, subframe, dented gas tank, front and rear wheel, etc., and put it back on the road for under $1500 total. See; "Presto, Bike on a Budget". It took a team of hardened scroungers and dealmakers a year on e-Bay and digging through dumpsters for tires to do the job, but it can be done. The finished bike is cool as hell. I would love to ride that thing.

From what it looks like, the only really worthwhile parts on the bike are the rims, rear swing arm, engine/gearbox and accessories. Maybe some of the rear plastic is salvagable, but I would part it out, you'll make $1500cdn profit on it and put it in the kitty towards something that isn't going to be a headache and a half to put back together.
Hell, find yourself something interesting if you're going to build a bike, there are always old VF1000R's around for sale. If you ride around some cobbled together Ninja you'll just look like some squid who didn't want to buy a stunt cage.
