What is a good second sport bike? Please comment?

[sprtsplyr_20]

My dad just got a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250 which is real good for his first bike. Not very expensive ($3700) and all. He only rides it to work and nearby the house. But in a year he wants a bigger bike. He likes the BMW F 800 S ($9475 new retail) and also thinking of getting a used 2008 Honda CBR 1000 RR which he says he has found online for$9600. What is a good second bike in the range of 800-1000 cc and not over much over $10000? Any insight would be helpful.

the BEST sport bike is the Honda Interceptor
Cycle World Magazine proclaimed the Interceptor as the "Worlds Best Bike", no other bike has ever received a higher award.
The Interceptor is a true do anything bike, touring, sport riding, racing, it has the best balance of any bike, quiet, smooth, reliable, and comfortable, it has a vtech engine that an extra set of valves come in at performance speeds, its 800cc, and also has an excellent resale value.
used to own a 97 Interceptor and owned many bikes after and no bike I ever owned came close as good, I made a mistake of selling it.
