If I were in your shoes right now I'd pick the BMW. Full disclosure, my last bike was a Honda VFR 1200F sport/cruiser, and it's more cruiser than sport, for sure. I went from a long line of Honda CBRs, a couple different 1000s, 954, 929, and the first one being a 900RR in 1994 black/purple/yellow. I had a 1990 VFR 750 before that I got in the 12th grade of high school.
Big reasons posted already about the BMW bike, tough/resilient bike (road school's use is a confidence builder), as comfortable a riding position and seat as you can get in the class, etc. If you plan do to >1HR highway rides, plus for all these reasons it's the bike I'd choose. Both of the others are bad ass, and I honestly wouldn't buy either of these three due to me aging out on this class of bike, but the BMW would be it if I could (and I'd be a total bitch and add handlebar risers to it for even more comfort, and less "sport").
How much do you figure you will get for a written of GSXR?
