More of a difference then i thought.
The bike is heavier then my old 250, it doesn't have the same stopping power as the 250, doesn't stop on a dime like the 250(you kinda slow down, then stop, even if you grab and handful of brake).
It's also won't take a turn as tight as my 250 did.
It's definitely bigger, faster and different.
I do enjoy riding the bike for sure, though the seat needs to be changed to something more comfortable and maybe floorboards.
I went from a CBR250RA to a CTX700T model.
There is definitely a world of difference in so many things, I changed bikes because i wanted a more upright position and something i can take my spouse on later for more comfortable rides.
For anyone considering a change like this, go for it.
I also enjoy having more speed, more throttle and the ability to hit 90km in 2nd gear, instead of having to go to 3rd to do so.
Maybe in the future i'll see about a sportbike again, there was a nice CB1000 of some sort at the dealer that was nice to sit on and had good position. It was black and gold. But we had already decided on the CTX700T, so it was kinda late.
