Under $1,000 it's not a sports-bike, it's a black-hole with an appetite for money.
Keep saving.
Spend a bit on the mandatory safety course in the process, that will save you money for sure but may save your life in the long run.
Hate to think I was whooped by some whooped-out rider whoopng it up on drugs.
Makes me want to do the whoopies both ways, just to see.
Does Power-Ade count?
Not many larger cc 2-strokes that can be made street-legal just about anywhere in the world anymore, most of the older ones would be track-only.
Since you didn't say, I'll assume you're new to street riding (doesn't matter how much track-time you've done) but it's a different type of riding to...
Not in my opinion.
Too Much Too Soon.
Any of the newer (after about 1995) in-line 4 cylinder motorcycle engines make their power too high in a good rev-range to be suitable for a beginner. The Bandit 1200 is fuel-injected and it can reach that high rev-range quicker than you can blink.
None of your choices are good starter bikes.
Your size has little to do with it, if you don't know HOW to ride.
Take a MSF Basic Riders Course first and than go shopping for a tamer version of bike to further your skills level.
Try looking for something without a R or RR in the model name, that...
Learning to make a small cc bike do what needs to be learned teaches CONTROL.
Any monkey can twist a throttle, what said monkey does with that is 'monkeying around'.
But all in-line 4 600s have a rather high input to torque ratio and that is usually the trouble maker.
Time to go sittin' & a shoppin'.
Should be able to 'touch' ground on 75% of sports-bikes, but if you need to ask stay with under 500 cc models.
A Kawasaki Ninja 250 being a pretty good choice as a starter.
You will pay, one bike or the other.
Pay now for better, pay as you go or really pay if you don't pay as you go.
Maintenance is the key, a cheaper made bike requires more of it.
Spend some of that money (about $275) on a MSF Basic Riders Course before spending a dime on any motorcycle. They provide different styles of small-bore bikes so all you'll need is a helmet, gloves and a pair of sturdy boots.
You already mentioned the bike I would pick for a sport-bike, the Daytona. Though it is a bit more expensive to maintain it's a slightly lighter bike and that three cylinder whirly-bird engine puts out some good numbers from low-end torque to high-end.
Another pick but closer to a...
