my 2cents
going from 600 to 750 wasnt a big enough difference for the price, but if you want the most for your insurance money then sure. city riding didnt notice anything, only when rung out can you feel a bit of extra power.

r6 felt the most track focused and least comfy
600rr the most comfy but slowest
gsxr600 best compromise all around in terms of comfort/power band/etc.

if youre coming from 600 and need more i would suggest jump straight to 1000

So I don't think I'll have any issues with positioning plus I move a lot on the bikes. Rode a Kawi 300 up to osoyoos and back on a day trip + 2hr horseback riding, and I was fine at the end of the day.

I don't really care about being slow in the city. I could care less about being first to the next red light. Its more for the longer trips and such. I use my Grom for city riding which is perfectly fine.

I don't plan on doubling either, my GF has her scooter and we ride the small bikes together.
the bikes you mentioned here are all "sport" positioned, much more upright then the "super sports" that youre considering. make sure to try one out for a long period 30mins+

with your criteria i would suggest more nakeds or street fighters. fz07, 650f, sv650, z650, gsx-s etc. they have way more comfy position for long term rides and still plenty of power to get into trouble.
