The ss is probably easier to ride, but the gsxr will blow it out of the water. In relatively stock trim (only gearing changed) I can't get my ss much above 140 on the straight- the modern 600s are hitting high 140s there.
this only matters because it can be frustrating to not be able to pass folks on the straights that end up holding you up on the corners. If I had the dough to buy a dedicated track bike, a 600 i-4 would be in my garage. (better racing platform if you decide to take the next step as well, ss isn't competitive in any of the classes around here.)
