As far as trading my Kat for a new 650.. mmm no. I don't think I would go back to a bike with full handle bars unless it is a DRZ400sm(for a second bike)
I had a 2004 GS500F. I liked the look of the bike after taking some decals off and custom handle bars, exhaust, and flushmounts.
The new 650 is/was planned more for a sport touring style.... like the FZ6, and other sport looking with full bars and upright riding position. Also for people that wanted the GSXR styling without the big insurance payment.
If it is like the riding position of the gs500f then some one 6 ft tall with stock bars will get wind blasted right to the face.... trust me.
My next replacement bike will be a 750/1000 GSX-R or a 09 YZF R1, but that will be in about 2 to 3 years.

Wife bought one and is a great bike for her. Installed Givi hard bags , grip warmers , and a carbon fibre Yosh pipe. And shes 52 years old!! Advantages are : fuel injected, liquid cooled, less hassle at start up ,more upright seating ,smoother ride, oil injectors on the gears from 4th and up, digital speedo interchangeable from mph to kmh by pushing a botton , better airflow management (less on the rider) , and much more responsive throttle. Shes cracked a wheelie shifting to second by accident!
