The new bikes out in the market today are definitely break neck fast now, the new RR can now rev to high as 17,000 and the kawasaki is no joke either.

I recommend you start out with an F4i. It's a very forgiving bike and has a friendly throttle. The new ones are sport touring, but you can still look for the sport bike version which is 01 to 03. They are great bikes, and are very light. I had one that used to be a track bike, it was perfect.

But if you like you can get the new ones, and just buy after market rear sets and change out the rear tail and seat to match the racing style like model. The rear sets will give you a more aggressive seating position and make it look much more fast. I for one like the older version.
