As already stated, there are no losers in this class. So how do you recommend one over any other, here's what 40 years of riding will tell you.
1) Sit on the bike. If you're not comfortable here, just in the saddle, and standing still, you'll never love it on the road. If you can't reach the ground due to seat height, now is the time to find out.
2) Get a test ride. If the dealer won't assist with this, how much do you think they will be there if/when a part breaks?
3) How is the dealer in your town? You will have a relationship, so you should like dealing with everyone or most everyone there.
4) How mainstream is the parts supply? Sure, some bikes have really trick parts, can they be replaced? Ask the dealer to show you a clutch handle or clutch cable in stock as a test.
5) Don't sell yourself short. There are so many great bikes, you can get one, get the one that makes your heart leap.
6) Buying used will often save you 50% or more.

Yamaha FZ6. SV650S- Just a couple of bikes no one else mentioned. Im assuming your a new rider so Id suggest staying away from models with R's in them, i.e. GSXR, CBR, R6, ZX6R. These are all great bikes but they're basically street legal racebikes, itd be like a kid learning to drive with a Corvette, just not a good idea.
The Hyosung 650 is great, of course its a rip off of the Suzuki SV650 so that would explain why its good. Id stick with the better known companies other wise youll probably have a hard time buying parts.

Take your pick! The real differences between all the supersport bikes are so small that it comes down to ergonomics and personal preference. Since the rider has more to do with how fast the bike goes, you won't notice a performance difference unless you plan on racing anyway.
Some that were not mentioned:
Suzuki SV650S, Triumph Daytona 675, Ducati Monster 620/690, Aprilia 750 Shiver (V-twins & a triple, so the power is similar)

I'm casting my vote for the Hyosung GT650R. Never heard of it? Few people have. But priced at least $1000 MSRP below the competion, this would be my choice. Look at the specs. Performance wise, with 76 HP and 68 Nm of torque it beats all 650cc stock competitors by a good margin. Seems to get consistently good reviews. Only problem might be in finding reliable (and economic) parts and service for this Korean made bike.

circulate to innovative coverage. My spouse has a 2004 VStar 650 and it basically value $72.00 a 365 days... now that's in TX.... yet they have the superb fee on ins. around.... you are able to examine them out on line. you will get a quote earlier you purchase your bike....
