Well, allow me to do a little bit of a reduction of choices *for my own preference*.

The R6 is out. Sure, it's sexy, but I would rather have a more versatile bike with a more comfortable riding position for those LONG twisty rides.

The GSX-R is out for me b/c SOOOO many people have them. I like to be different, and while finding parts from crashed bikes would be easy if I ever needed to, I like to have something that not everyone is riding.

The 600RR: It looks AMAZING. The price is right, and the positioning for sitting doesn't look too uncomfortable. However, because of the price and looks I'd say that this will become the new "gixxer" and the place will be miserable with them.

This basically leads me to go outside of my "likes" and say the Kawi. Now, I've always been a fan of the Hondas and Yamis and Suzis, but the 2k3 Kawi looks SWEET. It's also a nice change with the 636cc engine. Not many people will think of this off the top of their head when they think of the new 600's because of all the anticipation of the 600RR, so it won't be quite as popular as the others listed above. In essence, this is the bike I've got my eyes on for my next bike.
