No way a 250 is all you need...I see 250s here and they are all in the right lane...No way can they keep up with steady CA traffic...Did I mention the windy days? Also, if you intent is to ride a 600 one day why for God's sake start ona 250? Then work your way up? Your 250 is nothing like a 600 in regards to power...Yeah you learn to shift, brake, steer...Then what? You get on that 600 and you are just intimidated by the power that you are rendered noob again. Seriously people there is more to riding than just CCs. If you can't agree on that, then for sure I can not agree with any of this 250 cirque de solei conversation.

I agree with you about the getting sick part. now the rest of it I can't really agree with. everything you learn on a smaller bike gets you ready for a more powerfull bike.
I would say that an older SS say 5 to 10 years old would possibly make a good starter bike. the ZZR 600 was a SS back in the day but today it is very forgiving compared to the modern SS like the ZX6R.
I know Stefeno is going to hit me for that but like I have said before, they are more than likely going to get what ever they want anyway so if I can head them towards something even just a little more forgiving than the ZX/GSXR/YZFR why not?
