I know you asked for no comments on streetbikes being impractical for street use, but . . .

I rode my bro's GSX-R 1000 over the weekend. Holy %#@ the bike is insanely fast. And, contrary to what is said about I-4 torque curves, this engine comes on right away and it comes on hard. I really think that the litre sport bikes are overkill on the street. If I were in the market for a sport bike now, I would consider either the ZX-6R (636cc), a D650 or GSX-R 750. Maybe even a Duc 748 if I were to go with a twin. Just my .02. Good luck and happy shopping!
