Default wanting something different in a bike

So gentlemen I am starting to think that the Z has done its purpose to me, but to upgrade to what i need from it (aka i'm fat and suspension is for someone about 100lb less than me) does not seem fiscally responsible.

This is what i'm considering and would like input if possible. I'm not ready for the zx-14 jump. I'm not responsible enough for that big of a jump. But what i'm looking somewhat at is in the FZ1, 1200 bandit ect ect range. Something with a bigger frame, but not a true holy hand grenade of antioch sportbike. I have ridden Clint's bandit for a few miles just as an fyi.

So far my little bit research has lead me into the FZ1, Bandit, kawasaki zxr1100, kawasaki z1000. Does anyone have experience with any of these critters?
