    Simple. You are already educated enough to know that the 600 will have a lot more power than the 250 and as long as you have patience and a smart head on your shoulders, just take it easy and be smooooooth when you first get the bike and it will all come naturally. You will just need a day or two to get used to the different weight and handling of the bike but it'll still be pretty easy.
    No one is asking you to become an instant speed-racer the moment you get a 600.

    I hopped on my buddy's 98 ZX6R yesterday. MUCH different bike than mine.
    After going up and down the street a handful of times and hitting a few turns, I felt like I had owned this bike all year already.

    I started on a 600. There was nobody around to teach me about bikes and how to get started, so I just took a plunge.

    Ride 1000cc at demo days, only difference is power.

    End up getting a 750cc.

    If I were u I would get more mileage under my belt. I've done 2k km in 4 days, that's your whole season. I don't see the rush for an upgrade, the higher cc's will always be there waiting for you, even after you're dead

    by the time this season is done, I'll likely have 30,000km on my 250 that I bought Aug 2010. I've done more riding in a season and a bit than some do in 2 or 3 years

    It may be bigger, but what's the mileage on that thing?

    Hey OP,

    if you want something sporty but not supersport, and is comfortable for commuting/touring at decent distance, why dont you try the Honda CBF600S (or something like that).
    I saw an article on Toronto Star during the summer and from what i can tell...it's on my dream list; it has everything i need and then some (maybe).
    money can't buy happiness? maybe. but you still need money to buy the bike that'll give you the happiness you seek. money will allow you to buy that special something that'll give you the happiness... therefore, money does buy happiness. QED

    Thanks, but |I picked up a K5 GSX-R 750 a few weeks ago. I definately wanted a supersport, and so far it's working outjust fine
