Decent Y/K1 series seem to fetch (or have been fetching) more money, As they are highly prized amongst the track day boys. For ease of riding go for an early SRAD as they had carbs, the later ones changed to FI and the standard fueling set up them is fucking horrendous. They can be improved with a PCIII and a custom map but this wont add any value to the bike in the long term if you are using the bike as a stepping stone into sports bikes.
Just as a thought have you looked at FZR's? the 1000 RU exup is still a quick bike, easy to ride & can be picked up quite cheaply?
I wouldn't go for the 1000 EXUP as first sports bike, very heavy steering in comparison to newer bikes, even using lots of countersteer it still took a lot of muscle to pull it down into turns.
Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!
