I'd pick the 7R too, great front end, very planted (see what I did there dseered

). Not much less toe than the 9R but better handling.
I've got a soft spot for the greenie's though ...
Having said that, you are considering some fairly different bikes there. A monster in the same class as a ZX7R and ZX9R? Hrmm .... I think if you figure out what you want to do with the bike first, the rest will follow. (Yoda_mode!)
