Obviously I tend to like Honda more than the others but it's not because I'm brand specific, I could care less who makes it, if sunbeam quit making toasters and started making bikes, if the bike was good, I'd buy it.
Honda does everything very well. There's always some brand faster, quicker, handles better, brakes better, etc, etc... but Honda is always consistently at the top of that list in each dept.
And as far as speed... don't kid yourself about a 600. I ran low 12's in the qtr mile and was clocked at 154 by a officer running radar.
In the twisties, the bike is agile and quick. With a redline of 14K rpms, any 600 running at 10-12K rpms will pull hard and quick.
I know personally at the track, I was MUCH faster on my 600 than my 954 simply because too much torque out of a corner can be detrimental to corner speed and you have to back off whereas the 600 is waiting to be cracked open.... VERY MANAGEABLE.
Good luck, let us know how it works out.
