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...
I recommend a 250 cc bike, you like Honda, the CBR 250.
That said-
Think you'll get bored, you really don't know HOW to ride. Watch Ninja 250 at Laguna Seca on you-tube that guy knows how to ride.
Still bored?!? Than how about a Ninja 500, WAY tamer than the CBR 600.
Want a fun bike that fits...
Don't recommend an in-line-4 600 (any of them) as a starter bike, too much, too soon.
That said and to answer your question (only been asked about a billion times) - One mile or 200,000 miles.
One mile when some dip-sh!t forgets to put oil in the crankcase and 200,000 if the owner KNOWS that...
Neither bike is made for the interstate although they are legal there, nuff said.
Sorta of toss but I believe the Ninjette is a bit better for your needs.
Stay on top of the maintenance on whichever bike you decide on, little engines need to work extra hard to keep you moving, especially at...
