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
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.

I'm not technically going from a 600 to 750, I was trying to consider if I should just jump to a 750 since prices for used bikes are the same between the 600 and 750.
Although you're right that the Kawi 300 is more sport positioned that Super Sport, but with the small windshield, I was always experiencing wind turbulence unless I was in full tuck. Which was basically like super sport riding. I personally don't like naked bikes because of wind turbulence, one of the main reasons I sold the supermoto, which I get you can add a windscreen, but I feel like a super sport is more for me.
I've checked out a couple R6's and GSXR's but nothing has really gotten me to want to purchase them. Either owners are asking way to much or they're in pretty crappy condition for the firm prices being posted. I may just wait until the 2019 S1000RR get released and try to work a price on a 2018, or I may just get the 2019. But I get that means I wont have a bike till almost end of season..
