Couple years old....
first/second year 600RR's are the win... and not too much money.
Could go the VFR route, the 97 style vintage (sorry, I don't know the generation number) 750's were some of the best all arounders ever produced. You'd get good track manners and a comfyish bike to tool around on long trips, etc. when you get a bona-fide brand new sportbike next year. The '03 ZX6R wouldn't be a bad bet, either.
I wouldn't rule out an SV, though. A full naked, standard version (the old trellis frame, though, is a seriously time tested, incredibly good platform. It would make a great candidate for anything and since you're going to get a new-new next year it would save you money (since a good example can be had for 3 easily).

When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
