I just bought a used FZ-6 skip the FZ6R and get the FZ-6 if you are so inclined. WAY WAY BETTER. There was an FZ-6R at my last track day and although they are good looking they are not that much faster down the straight than our little 250.(we wont even get into how it does in the twisties) I also like the ZZR over the 650 as it is a Fine machine. Skip the GSX (way way to top heavy)
The GSX is the most comfortable with the 650 in a close second but bang for the buck in the sport touring market you cant beat the FZ-6. Be prepared to spend a few bucks on the suspension if your planning on track riding it. As far as horsepower goes no need to spend in that department. Its got PLENTY.
