I started on a 06 zx6r and have been riding that for about a year now. I picked up a ninja 650 as a second bike. I now ride the 650 every time I can. The 6r stays in track mode for track days/races unless I have to ride it on the street then I swap the stuff back to street status. The 650r is more comfortable, and plenty fast. An SV or 650R is more then enough bike and can get anyone in trouble.
I feel sorry for people who only have one SS bike and haven't ridden anything else. They are missing out on the fun of a smaller bike. The 650 brings more smiles to my face daily then the 6r. The only time I like the 6r more is out at the track where I have 4.8 miles per lap of smooth pavement to really open it up.
My bikes share the garage with my modded evo 9 MR and before the bikes I had a Talon that ran low 11s@130+ (at 5400ft elevation) which is faster then either of my bikes.
