And, no, I don't have to have a litre bikes. That's my other concern - I don't want to have all of this power and not have the ability to use it everyday. on the weekends, I drive upstate on the highway into the mountains so there is alot of "open road".

I would be ok if folks were saying 600 or 750. Similar to what Wrider said, the lines between the 600 and 1000 are becoming blurry!
Depends what you feel comfortable with. If you can ride a 600 sports then you can ride a litre.

You might like to think about a twin which will give you a stonking amount of torque/accelleration to put a smile on your face, even if you never use the power.

Something like this is a good compromise. Much more natural riding position. Plenty of power and speed for everything except extreme driving. Just got one and really like it. Honda 919
