Jay summed up my thoughts on SV's pretty well. I'll ad the Kawi 650 is the same to me, but with less power. The FZ07 feels like a big dirt bike. Wears it's weight low and has SV levels of power.
Go to a Triumph dealer and have a look / ride on a triple. Yeah, they allow test rides, it might just change your mind. The 675 triple is very linear with it's power application.

If you want to stay in the sport class of bikes. You might consider reaching back into the not so distant past, before 600's became Jekyll and Hyde machines. The CBR600 F4i, YZF600R, I think it was the ZZR600 from Kawi.
