Yes it's a typical post that all people ask, but I'm limited on time so I'm hoping you can help me narrow my choices down so I'm not trying out a bunch of different bikes.
Here's my stats...
Height: 5'7" Weight: Dieting plan to be 150lbs, currently 180lbs. Inseam: 32" Age: 32 Price Range: <$6500
Previous Bikes: - '99 R6 (Stolen) - '02 GSXR-600 (Stolen) - '04 GSXR-750 (Beat them to it and sold it.)
Things I liked about each bike... - I liked the size of the R6, I have a 32" inseam and although it was my first bike, I felt much more "in control" on it. I didn't like the way the R6 cornered, it always felt loose to me, like I was pushing it into the corners, that might have been me being new to riding. - I didn't like the GSX-R600 size it felt very wide. I liked how the power seemed to come on earlier in the RPMs than the R6 but ultimately, it just felt like a hoss to me. - The size of the 750 was an issue for me just like the 600. However, I loved the way the GSXR-750 handled in the corners. It was the nicest handling bike of the three and that ended up helping me fall in love with the bike. When I was out cruising around back country roads or on the track I felt at home on this bike. However, the size and feel of the R6 was something I never forgot.
Why do I want a bike? - I've held off just about as long as I can... the itch is too strong. I don't plan to do many track days, with it, but I would hate to not have the option. I fear that once I have the bike I'll want to hit the track. 
I hope that helps answers some of the basic questions, hopefully I haven't forgotten anything. As I mentioned, I don't expect to get a solid answer, but I do hope to limit my options and then try them out. Thanks in advance!
