Have you shopped for insurance on those? In my case the premiums for the same coverages are FZ1 = Z1000 = 2 * Ninja 1000. And Ninja 1000 is almost identical to Z1000 plus plastic...
I do like the 636 but im going to be sticking with honda or yamaha right now as I have good connections with the dealer I got my previous bike from. Right now leaning towards the CBR600rr . Who knows when i go there may talk me into something bigger but im trying to keep price similar to what my bike was as well so yea thanks for opinions guys, good seeing what other people are looking at

one thing that turned me out of the ninja bikes were insurance. Here in Jersey, if it has the Ninja badge on it, it will be very expensive.
fz6r = 300 year
ninja 650 = 2000 year
ninja 1000 = 3000 year
ducati = 600 year

BMW 1000rr = 300 full coverage a year.
You need to compare the premiums for the SAME level of the coverages in the SAME market/age/driving history. We have no idea what level of protection and any other variables were used by the previous poster to get the final price.
How does that happen!? My insurance wanted $1400 a year for full coverage on my FZ6R. I chose the $350 plan.
I'm assuming that Daniel is using rider since he is located in NJ as well. They have a discount for being over 35 for a sports bike and discounts for non-sport bikes under 35 year old
No, not planning on changing bikes for a while. May dork around later tonight and see what my insurance quotes me at. I pay $33/month for full coverage on the 6r. Could have cut it down further, but didn't wanna come up short in the event of an accident.

I do have rider insurance,
When I had the quotes done, all levels of coverage, insurance, premiuns, deductible and blah blah blah were the same.
For whatever reason, ninjas were always absurdly higher than anything else.
We must HATE ninjas in Jersey. Ninjas are NOT welcome here.
Yeah, when shopping a new bike, insurance is the big gotcha. I am perfectly happy with my GSXR600, but shopped the GSXR1000 over past couple of days to revisit this potential move before end of current 0% financing special. Yeah, still ridiculous insurance (GSXR600=$600; GSXR1000=$1600), WTF! I will be keeping the Sixxer, it gets the job done, at a whole lot cheaper cost of ownership.
