mark,
i know a good bit about the 636 i have been looking into the EXACT one that you got... thats why i just put that i hate you when you posted pics... but the ducati would be an `97-`01 so they are more like the cost of a new 636... anyway from what everyone has told me i think i am going to go with the 636... thanks guys... i am still going to take my time and read some more and go get on some friends bikes to see what i like and dont like...
