having just come from a BMW 1100S with ONLY 98hp, I found that an intermediate bike, i.e. something between a gutless but okay handling 250 and the awesome - will kill you if not careful - Busa, is not only ideal, but I would recommend anyone with minimal experience do.
I know you want your dream bike - hell, I just bought mine too so I know the feeling, but you would be definitely better off spending that money on a good used 600 (like a RR or even better a F4I0 or even a SV650 - a brilliant bike that will take you sometime to get to the limit off (trust me - I ride with an experienced young fellah on a SV650 - he OWNS me on the twisties and can keep up until his SV runs out of steam at around 220.......)
Get a 600 or the SV first, pay for it (outright) have it for a couple of years, buy a Busa, keep the 600 for track days and Sunday morning mountain squirts.
Dont like that advice? meh. I maybe wrong sometimes, but never incorrect. (or was it the other way around?)
