EvilGuy-
I know, I know- I didn't want to hear it either, but I'm going with photobug on this one, too. All of the bikes you listed would no doubt be excellent machines, but for the wrong reasons. CBR, GSXR, ZX-7, -9, whatever, please believe me when I say that for you- as a brand new rider- will never be able to tell the difference. There's SO much more to it than just twisting the throttle and "leaning" into turns. It does take some considerable skill to ride a machine like the above at the speeds in which their strengths really make any difference. Of course, you'd never think that was the case as so many sportbikes are owned by people that really have no concept whatsoever of the skill required to operate them. Just like the old addage goes- "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday." We all want to ride what the superstars ride at some point. And hey, why not, they look freakin' bad ass and have that seductive lure of ultimate speed and power- but how many of us are really ready and responsible enough for them?
I'm not trying to insult your abilities- for all I know you could be the next Bostrom or Hayden- but even though we're talking on SportBike World- I'd recommend something other than a hard edged sportbike for your first ride. Personally, I "learned" on a '93 FZR600. I loved just pointing and firing with my friends down straightaways- it was fun- no doubt. But I didn't really learn much about riding other than it was harder to corner properly than I thought, and that asphault really is a pain in the ass to pick out of your skin. Know this when you are trying to decide how to spend your hard earned $9000.00- you will drop it. Not might-will.
Just do yourself a favor and really think about it- alot. And make sure you take the MSF course if you haven't already. There are plenty of great bikes that will serve you well as a first ride. Do a search here in the forums for "first bike" and you'll turn up a ton of great suggestions.
Plus, the balance of that 9K you save on a less expensive bike could be put to some way swank protective gear or riding schools- both of which would be money well spent. Sorry to sound like your mom or dad, I just wanted to share the little bit of info I learned- hindsight really is 20/20.
Photobug is right on, except for that suggestion of the BMW F650- that thing's just ugly!

Just kidding- it's actually a great bike, although not quite up your alley style-wise I would imagine. I could recommend my bike, the ZR-7, which I am really enjoying- but at 16 I would have never given it a second look myself.
But- if it HAS TO be one of the bikes you mentioned, I'd wince and say the F4. It's gonna be the most comfortable at least.
