Quit getting hung up on Vtwin vs I4. Honestly I don't think you've rode Vtwins for long enough to give them a fair assessment.
I went from a I4 750 (~1200miles) to a Vtwin 650(~4000miles), the Vtwin has much more usable RPM w/o getting a new rider into trouble.
I'd rather slow speed drop a heavy medium HP bike in a parking lot/garage than have high speed crash on a light high HP bike while riding.
No one is going to make fun of you for riding a Bandit 650. Hell, they'll probably think it's better than a 600r bike since it has 50 more cc's.
