I know for a fact that the R6s are reliable but if you want the truth I've always seen people on Hondas w/ some extremely high miles. I had a F4I I bought from a friend that had 29K and I sold it w/ 33K and it rode like a champ!!

I think it's all preference when it comes to the big name Jap bikes. I'd go R6 then 600RR then GSXR 600. I don't think I'd ever go 636, that bike doesn't do it for me at all!! Even when I rode GSXRs I liked the R6!! They run HARD!! I think the 600RR is an all around good bike that will never die however hard you beat on it!!
