    The 848 is on the high capacity size for middleweight, but I would say its te best of the list if you include it.

    Track or street use?
    For street I would opt for one of the Jap 4, probably Honda or Yam, they are more comfortable for street riding than the Duc.

    For street use I would go for the GSXR600 for street cred. Track I would go for the R6.

    ^^ What he said. I'm just a bit biased though.

    The motor makes the bike but the handling certainly doesn't hurt either.

    Gotta say, kinda prefer the Daytona styling... Can't really comment on the engine or chassis.

    The Daytona definitely has the cleaner looks. The F3 should be pretty sweet too though. I love the triple pipes exiting down by the wheel.

    I love Yamaha. The R6 has been my favorite suspersport for a while. They seem to dominate at the track as well.

    R6 I'm a fit & finish nut and this bike is top in that department IMO, plus it has some great lines to the body. Proven Yamaha reliability on and off the track, and you don't have to check the valves until 26k miles.
    Seating possition is a bit aggressive for street riding but I'm sure is similar to the others in the class. I've spent a day on the track with mine, and have put over 450 miles on in one day and didn't feel like I wanted to die when the day was over. So far, my favorite bike ever..and paint and fit&finish quality better than any bike I have ever seen..IMO of course
