Lorra bikes out there to be sure.
A mate recently ended up with a VFR 800, like new, for not much more than you want to spend. That was from a dealer, too.
His starting point was a ZXR, big, nay huge, fuck up with that & by a strange quirk of fate he ended up test riding the VFR. He does track days on a Fireblade, tours two up & has to ride gravel on all his bikes. He is an exceedingly happy camper. The VFR will be on a track near you soon. He's even thinkin of movin the blade on.
I had a good ride on it & loved it. Quite blown away actually, all love, hugs & magic carpet ride below 7000rpm then uh oh, V- tec kicks in.
Well under the radar, never even crossed our minds discussing his next bike, but....
Otherwise I would go for 7fiddy gixxer. No contest out of the three your looking at. I have wanted one since they started making them, though.
