The main thing going for the 919 is that you can get one in the US. I doubt the CB1k ever saw this side of the pond

The CB1000F were sold here in 94-95 and were known as the "Big One." A friend of mine had a red 95, and the difference is about 100# heavier than the 919, higher seat, and longer wheelbase. The engine was from the CBR1000F Hurricane, detuned.
