Honestly, from riding a few 600 sport bikes, and a z1000, R1, etc and a few others, for 99% of riding you do(which is NOT stunts, full throttle, knee down turns, etc) they are all the same. Its really just looks/style/ergo unless you are going to be doing track days or ripping wheelies. I know people are going to disagree with me here, but its still true. For your first bike just get whatever is in good shape and whatever you can afford. I would take others advice on the maintenance costs becuase ive never owned a newish bike though.
