If you want the best all around package the Suzuki GSXR750 is still the best bet.

I dont have one personally, but my draftsman has one and he says the GSXR is one of the top bikes right now.

He's about 6 ft tall and close to 200 pounds. he rides a Yamaha 1000 (dunno which one) and its about right on power for him, he is a little too big for a sport bike, but not bad.

Ive got an 03 R1 and I love it. Little bit heavier than the gsxr750 though. handles well up to 169 mph, I know that much.
Runs real world high tens in the quarter too. My cousin could only get his gsxr750 into the low 11's.
Riders have alot to do with that though.

If your getting it for a daily rider, your rear tire is only gonna last a couple months and the front maybe a year.
