I found the RSV Mille a good compromise. The fairing had been properly wind tunnel developed - it even had 'eyebrows' to reduce turbulence or something. It also had a big tank and long range. I used it sur le Continong on a Park Lane BMW tour. It was very comfy, and in a completely different 'fun' league to all the BMs.

I love the RSV mille - cracking motor. They're still FAF though!
Don't know that I could recommend a stock 900SS, they're a bit lardy and require fettling. I was lucky that mine had had the entire exotic parts catalogue lobbed at it by someone that knew what they were doing.
@chak has it right, tuned SV or something like that. Set the suspension up, fit some sticky tyres and spank it.

Haha - there's not an appreciable delta in speed between the Bird and a Blade / GSXR of the same era....The lighter bikes are definitely more fun though.
I highly support chopping and changing machine as often as possible! ;)
