I swear by my Katana - great commuter bike, very stable and plenty fast. I like to say it's excellent at nothing but good at everything. It'll hang with GSX-Rs (kinda), you can load it up with passengers & gas & saddlebags and anything else you can think of, it's damn near indestructable, small enough to lane-split effectively, large enough to not be squirley, comfortable enough for longer rides (no "crotch rocket" posture), etc. I love it. The 600 might be better for you as an initial purchase versus the 750, but that's up to you.

40+ MPG, park anywhere pretty much anytime, insurance is $300 for the YEAR, registration is under 100 bucks, and don't sit in traffic - ever. It might be heresy here, but I swear I'd sell my P-cars before I ever got rid of owning a bike living in this area it's the perfect commuting tool.
