nolts.....
Forget the TLR as well...they are a REAL Handful and will BITE inexperienced riders. I can't think of one particular bike that has a worse track record amongst our group of friends. Set up correctly they are great, but the things are so difficult to get right. Trust me on this one !
The GSXR 750, in particular the new 00 / 01 models are brilliant, stable, good steering and hard to fault....although they could do with a brake pad change to improve the only "grey" area I can fault.
I still would suggest a 600 as the next step as they will be more than adequate for your current level of experience.
I rode the new Honda F4 the other day, they are one impressive 600, as is the new 01 Suzuki GSXR600. also consider the running costs, Tyres in particular aren't cheap and Insurance (optional) is obviously going to be more affordable in this class. Think about it, test ride them all...then make your decision.
