Best of luck to you, and if you still are going to choose from the list above I would have to put my money on the R1 for a liter bike, for a 600 Ive only been on a gixxer and a r6 and like the gixxer more. I love the way the new CBR 600 looks though. Have fun and ride safe.
Bikes are not like cars. Anybody can drive a car 0-70% of the car's potential and be fine, and the slower you go the easier it is.

Bikes are the reverse. It's actually easier to ride a supersport 50-70% of the bike's potential than it is to try and go slower. Slow = unstable.

Bike crashes happen when you try to ride 0-20% and 80-100+%
