Have you looked into Honda CBR 1000 RRR? Not standard CBR. Won't be much more the S1k. More power, reliable, great electronics/tech, no cruise control/heated grips.

It goes back to what exactly you want the bike for. If mainly street, cannot beat the S1k. Keep it stock, no worries about warranty. Stick to 2023+ models.

Out of Japanese bikes, I would go for GSXR followed by the ZX10R (heavier, poorer quality & handling). Honda CBR RR if money allows (quality/power on par with M1000RR & V4R).
R1 stock front end is not great without mods, least reliable out of Japanese bikes, sounds amazing, least comfy as a street bike, better track bike.

GSXR electronics are outdated, but the bike is comfortable, reliable, good power/torque, feels great with few mods (I have base GSXR and R). See for sale section for my 2020 GSXR (track/street).

I would wait till end of the year to buy anything, a bunch of new bikes & updates to be announced in Nov.
 
That is hot as eff.. I grew up on Honda. That red white and blue is awesome
RRR SP followed by V4 are best looking bikes IMO. But Duc heat, and lack of fuel gauge, etc... makes it hard to justify spending $5-9k over.
