Hi and welcome,

My 2c worth on which model to buy ...

The old 600's probably won't have enough poke for you. They're great for pootling around town but you probably won't think them so great on a motorway trying to just put miles behind you.

The 620 has noticeably more poke, almost as much as the 750, but the old 750's seem to have a "nicer, looser feel" than the 620 or, for that matter, the 800.

So a 750 or 800 would be a good bet but, if it was me, I'd find an old 900 that's been looked after. It's a great bike, heaps of grunt, and considerably cheaper than near new bikes. As it's not expensive, it shouldn't be too dear to insure. As said elsewhere, save premiums by fitting immobiliser/alarm/alphadots/keeping it in the kitchen and spend the savings on trackdays :-)

Cheers,
Geoff
