get the mt, and if your not happy with the suspension upgrade it at a later date. I've done 10000 miles on my MT and fine the suspension OK, go on youtube and look for MT09 over mountain course, there an MT09 on standard suspension going round the TT course, he doesnt appear to have any problems

Suggest you try some demo rides

MT-09 £7k and 188 kg
CB £9.3k and 217 kg
Speed Triple £9.6k and 214 kg

If you want a big heavy bike go for the Honda or Triumph

If you want a light bike and save either £2k+ or even £1k+ after suspension changes go for the Yamaha.

See what suits.

I rode my son-in-law's CB1000R a few weeks ago - felt like going back to the FJR I used to have after my MT-09
No difference to speak of in terms of performance - He kept up but couldn't get past whichever bike he was on LOL

I traded a CB1000R Tricolour in for an MT09 and have never regretted it. The power and torque of the MT09 are instant, addictive and accessible.
Mind I think my original model Race Blu is a plain jane in comparison to the CB1000R, the latest model looks much better for me.

I quite like the look of the Suzuki GSX-S1000.

I just wish the MT09 was a bit chunkier. Maybe they will release a FZ1 equivalent

toppo, if you do get an MT09 just make sure you get a good after-market seat. Especially if your back is playing you up a bit. The MT09 gets a bike like a MotoX seat after 40 miles (not as bad if you are wearing thick textiles)

I'm waiting for an MT09 sports tourer with the ergonomics of my K1300s a brilliant bike but expensive on parts.

MT-09 is more fun to ride cause it's 30kg lighter than CB1000R and has the 3-mode which is a great advantage!
Enjoy your new "toy"...
