Default Would I look stupid on a zx9r? Discuss...

As it says in the title really. Thinking of trading the SV in for a silly fast bike what will probably lose me my license... I know they're bigger than the current crop of superbikes, but not sure how much. Anyone had a go? Impressions? (Any crap answers like"here's my impression of Rolf Harris eating a sticky bun" will be treated with the contempt they so richly deserve...)

And yes, I know there's a chance that whatever bike I get I'm gonna look stupid and that I can't always blame the bike...

No, I need a nice KTM 950 SM, but I can't afford one. I can just about afford a zx9r if I don't buy you the stupendous xmas present I was going to...

Yeah, but don't like either! I could also get 4 gt550s or 1/4 of a KTM...
