Bottom line, you have to learn to deal with a whatever bike you choose, and you might find yourself disappointed. See if you can get a demo on a GSXR just to see for yourself what clipons are like. If you're fine with them, you may be fine with the bike. Just remember the great advice Kay offered.

I guess the reason I feel like getting rid of the bike is that I have not become comfortable with it. I have to work up the courage to ride it.

As far as the centerstand, lowering the bike has made it more difficult to get it on the centerstand. I do know we can alter the centerstand to the bikes height.
