What style of riding do you do? Ex:touring, adventure riding, racing around with friends etc., that would be the deciding factor. I always recommend sport touring or adventure touring because of the versatility of the bikes.
So mostly around town and twisties really. Maybe a few trips but not more than a couple hours!
Started on a 250 on a 650 now and don’t crave more cc’s. Maybe consider a zx6r if you want a slight upgrade to the 650.

Most people on a 1000 cc sport bike are asking for trouble. For what you want to do you can get middleweight bikes with 70-100 HP that will still be fun.
I’m riding a Trident 660 as a first bike and feel like it’ll be perfect for many years. Highly recommend
I use an Indian scout as my second bike. Not lot of mods just a mini ape bar and fishtail exhausts. Love it to ride around the town. My primary bike is a tourer (Electra glide ultra limited).
