if you, as a new rider are truly dead set on a race bike that has been modified to be street legal like the bikes you just listed, my advice would be to sit on, and test ride all of them to see which is most comfortable. At your skill level, this will be the only difference you notice between any of the bikes that will affect your enjoyment of them. The GSXR is rated high for ergonomics and comfort overall in most of the tests and comparos I've seen. Not having an undertail exhaust is another aspect that may make it more comfortable, at least compared with the CBR. These bikes all have super high performance overall, and the performance differences between them won't really be noticed by someone who doesn't use them on a track, or in a dangerous way on the street. The comfort differences will be noticeable to anyone almost immediately. Feel which one fits you best.

Look for:
higher bars/less wrist pressure/shorter reach to bars
angle of bar sweep back/adjustability of sweep back
adjustable footpegs/more leg room
seat comfort
less vibration in footpegs and bars (very important)
how the width feels to you (narrow often feels better)
anything else you notice
