No I don't. You will hate it after a month.
A nice used 600, would be better there is no noticable power or performance difference plus save a few grand and get really good riding gear.
I have had a lot of bikes, new and used. Early on they all got dropped at some point.
I loved my R6 on the track, but hated it on the street, very uncomfortable for riding more than a hour or so.
My VFR is way more comfortable, has more torque, I can ride it for 400+ mile days.
You should come out with my riding group after you get some miles in, we have some great routes.

I have found a few used bikes that are possibilities. Then there is the ninja 650

I really love the styling of the classic british bikes... cafe-racer esque styling.
simple, straight forward styling. I yearn for a Triumph (or Harley sportster, especially the new Iron ___ series!)
