The power issue with the GSX-Rs and the R6s (ever so slightly better with the YZF-R600) is secondary to the ergonomic, handling, weight distribution, etc. issues you’ll run into. They’re just not first-timer bikes. Period.
What do you have against a GS500, Ninja 500R, 650R, SV650, etc.? If you’re in a part of the world that makes R125s available, you have even more great low-displacement options than we do here in the US.
