decisions decisions. HELP!

ok so here is my situation.

I have a blue 06 r6s with 55xx miles on it. It has been down once, but has been repaired besides a dent in the gas tank. My brother just bought an 07 zx10r and he has his 05 black 636 left over. His bike has never been down, and has 5xxx miles on it. he has always taken excellent care of the bike, and never really beats on it when he rides.

A friend of mine is looking for a bike, and i told him about my brothers bike. My brother was going to put his bike on craigslist for 5400. Then I got to thinking about possibly selling my bike, and buying his. he said he would give it to me for 4500. I ran the option of my friend buying my bike by him, and he seemed very interested.

my bike:

blue 06 r6s w/ 55xx miles

-has seen the pavement once
-dent in gas tank
-scorpion slip on pipe
-integrated signals all around
-sliders
-hid's
-tank protector

brothers bike:

black 05 636 w 5xxx miles.

-never seen the pavement
-very well taken care of
-yoshimura slip on
-k&n intake
-integrated signals all around
-sliders
-hid's
-tank protector

I'm not in love with black bikes (I could always paint it...i actually thought about painting my r6 all white when i dropped it.), and my helmet is white black and blue . BUT I do love the slipper clutch that the kawi has.

Now two questions:

1. What would you guys do if you were in my situation?
2. How much is my bike worth?

Any input is appreciated!

Thanks!
Steve

keep your bike... a 636 is not a real improvement over the R6.

If i were you i would save the money and buy something better in the future.
