Right now I am looking to get either a SV650, R6 (if I feel like spending the extra $1000), or a Bandit.
If by Bandit you mean a 1250 Bandit, that is way too big a bike for a first bike, both in power and in mass. Torque will kill the inexperienced rider; things happen too fast and the bike is too heavy to bail yourself out if you get into trouble.
