It does not matter what anuone tells ya: you have to buy the bike you want cuz if you do not do it you will regret it every time you see your dream bike go the other way. Trust me on this one, if you have your heart set on acertain bike, get it. Just remember the bike is only as fast as you twist the throttle. Hp and Torque curves are just something you will have to get used to if you get a race type bike. I say this riding a 1200cc motorcycle, torque is a good thing (and some rear wheel HP is not bad either)
