You may save money on the purchase of this 636 but as I've said before you are in a world of hurt for parts when it comes time to repair, finding anyone that will touch it for repairs (if you don't do it yourself), and find that it will be in the shop more often than any model 250. A friend of mine has one (2009-636) and wishes they could just dump the thing over the tallest bridge around. Sure the "Ducati" is a status symbol for most... but then unless you have a deep wallet, and patience to ride because its in the shop more often than not waiting for parts, and enjoy long rides in a very "humped" up style.... lol go for it
