I was in the same boat, was thinking used triple but ended up buying a FZ-09, haven't been able to ride it a ton but it's a fun bike. Lots of torque through the rev range, if I have one thing I don't like is the throttle is either on or it's off at low speeds, it's not a smooth transition however not noticeable at higher speeds.

You won't find a used FZ-09 and new there around $10,300-$11,000 out the door so if you want to spend under $8,000 might be tough.
