2 weeks? Ha! I've been on my 7R for over a year now and it still hurts ;)

I'm starting to think the ability to pull the front wheel off the ground in
4 gears isn't quite enough. I wanna be able to do it in all 6 :)

You get a 636 or an RR? Wait, you said "silver bullet", so it can't be an RR
(all green). I seriously considered an RR, but it's just too much different
than the Buell for me to be able to swap back and forth. The 6R/RR are very
nice bikes. Kawasaki definately got their crap together with the new
playthings.

Good things to do, ranging from immediately to the foreseeable future:
-Flush the car keys down the toilet. $1.90/gallon was enough to make me park
my car except for emergencies. I haven't driven in over a week. 20mpg in the
car, 25 on the Ninja, and 50 on the Buell. Gee, wonder which is getting the
most use these days.
-K&N air filter... actually I'd probably go with a Uni if they have one. If
not, a K&N with a foam prefilter on the dirty side will work.
-Swap the grips for some Progrip 719's or 724's.
-Call Sargent and discuss seats. Trust me :) I have a Corbin on the Buell
and a Sargent on the Ninja. The Corbin is going to Sargent when I have some
spare cash laying around.
-Dump the exhaust and stick on a Muzzy Ti/Carbon setup. I consider this a
safety feature. 5 minutes after shutting off the bike I can reach down and
grab the pipes and they're barely warm.
-Bolt in the RR's slipper clutch. It's a direct swap into the R. I'm very
spoiled by the slipper on my 7R. Down shifting involves pulling in the
clutch and hammering down as many gears as I want, then dumping the clutch.
No locked up rear wheel, sliding, or other nastiness :)

Oh, I expect pics as soon as you get it home :)
